I can use these apps but in order to be able to recommend it to my friends as an app that can replace Whatsapp or Viber, it should have a comparable UI/UX. I too was concerned about their source availability approach. What will you suggest that meets these criteria?

I'd suggest WhisperSystem's Signal [0], it's currently available on iOS and Android [1] and open source [2].
