Pros

Cons
Con Has multiple a security vulnerabilities
EFF gave Viber's security 1 out of 7 points in November, 2014. It deducted points because the provider is capable of reading encrypted messages, there's no way to verify contacts identities, past communications are not secure if encryption keys are stolen, the code is not open to independent reviews, the security design is not properly documented and there has not been a recent code audit.
Con Clearly made for children, unsuitable stickers, emoticons, overall experience for anybody older than a teenager.

Con Potential spyware
Viber communication's aren't end-to-end encrypted. The company has access to the key that the communication's are encrypted with.
