Great XMPP client
But awkward iconography. A red dot triggers “notification anxiety”.
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

Monal Reviews
Difficulty getting started
I’m having difficulty with getting my account verified, and I can’t see find anything helpful in the support for the app.
Crashes
Using it with a Openfire Server. Connects fine but crashes frequently. Just closes, no message, nothing.
Not loading
Why i cant download the new version
Wonderful! Greatly Improved!
I've tried a lot of these XMPP clients and Monal is by far my favourite. Recent updates added ability to favourite and remember group chats which turns this app from Functional to Wonderful for me. I also use XEP-0363/http file upload a lot and this seems to be the only client I can find that works correctly. Thank you so much!
Doesn't work
Won't connect.
Fantastic!
Setup is super easy and it does everything it says on the tin. Most servers I connect to have those self signed Certs so I have to remember to flip the switch in the settings. But other than that this app rocks! Brilliant work guys!
Small learning curve
Great for securing sexting
Jabber
Please fix the issue cannot connect to jabber server running on OS X tiger, Talkonaut this is also here on AppStore works fine but this app cannot connect at all . Tried different settings same problem just disconnects
Unable to connect
I'm having issues connecting to a Jabber server in both the March versions using a iphone 5 running the latest iOS version. I loved this app prior to the March releases! I've tried everything on my end; changing the port to 5223, toggling the SSL and other advanced options, and even creating a new log-in and password. I can connect through beejive and IM+, but I prefer Monal. Please look into!
