Description
There has never been a better time to get into XMPP, a free public chat network no one controls or owns. Monal is a fast and user friendly way to use XMPP. Just download the app, login or register and you are ready to chat in minutes. It looks and works the way other apps do, so there is no need to “learn XMPP” or even care what it is.
Notable features:
- Open Source
- No Ads! Strong focus on privacy. Does not phone home and does not have software "metrics"
- Does not read any personal information
- With a direct connection to your server, your password and all other info are never sent to a third-party
- OMEMO encrypted chat
- Will work with corporate XMPP servers that require VPN
- Multi user chat (MUC) support for group chats
- Audio/Video calls
Implements certain XMPP extensions intended to improve mobile communication:
- XEP-0357: Push Notifications
- XEP-0280: Message Carbons keep messages in synch between clients
- XEP-0198: Stream Management to quickly reconnect
- XEP-0199: XMPP Ping to maintain connections
- XEP-0313: Message Archive Management to download chat history
- XEP-0352: Client State Indication for dramatic reduction on power use
- XEP-0363: HTTP File Upload to send images in conversations

Ratings and Reviews
Best jabber client
Best jabber client by far. Use it daily for direct jabber messages AND group chats. This is the only jabber client I've found which supports group chats.
One of the better ios jabber clients but...
I'm using jabber to follow a couple of conference rooms and receive broadcasted messages. In last week I noticed Im not receiving al broadcasts probably due the client timing out at some stage.
The base of this app seems alright though!
Looks good!
Looks great, loads of functions.
Would be great if OTR was supported
