Nice I like the app enough to leave jaxim for this one. It looks good to the eye. I just didn't like the whole disconnecting and reconnecting me thing I experience with this and jaxim every time I close the app. Probably there is a fix but this app is fine although not my main for xmpp.

What's not to love? It's purple with a fantastic font. Sadly it doesn't seem to support conferences but when it does I can stop using jTalk.

Best XMPP app for my use case that I've tried of all available. Would give 5 * if it included group conversations as well.

A nice non invasive chat option. I love xmpp, and Bruno is the coolest bear ever :)

I must admit i installed it because of the futurama names. Which is what i use for my hostnaming list. But its cute cozy and works.

Not a lot of options but it takes very few resources and we love it. Development: My only suggestion would be a pop-up message as it is difficult to see the reminder. Keep it up!

Very easy to install and configure with Jabber/XMPP. The most important thing I like is very light weight, just 1.5 mb. It supports few themes.

Have been testing for a while now..seems great. Could use an updated look, but all in all, great. Reliable. No issues. Also, this app works flawlessly without google play services. Thank you for that. Appreciate your work. Thanks.

Guys it's a good app but it shows a notification on its icon but I can't find why. Secondly your icon of the toy bear head shows on the phone when it's locked which for a professional phone is not such a great look. I would like the option to hide the icon itself, just leaving details I am connected.
