If the underlying layers are completely hosed, how reliable or safe can these apps really be? Even assuming full blown TLS and SSL, I'm still not convinced these apps are that good. For example, Signal doesnt allow you to set a conversation password or cert, which makes me think it's nothing more than giving false hope to idiots

Only as safe as the device themselves. Which are not safe.

Signal only provides privacy against carriers and internet transport. It will not protect you against three letter agencies or google or apple. Or any invasive keyboard you may have installed or comes factory.

Edit: think of it as a privacy app with superior texting, rather than a security app.

The can snoop but they need a warrant for comms to be admissible as evidence.
