## Monal 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 in India

### ***** "Best XMPP chat for iOS"
This is the best iOS xmpp chat app I found so far. It has all features I need. Thank you developer for giving us a great app.
-- Surenthar Pitchai, 2020-07-09

### *---- "It always stays inactive"
It always stays inactive and in red color sign instead of green to showcase you are online, whenever you access the other apps it goes to inactive status, you can not use other applications and you have open this when you want to use it.
-- Mitesh0411, 2018-06-08

### ***** "Superb"
This is a superb XMPP client. Everything just works and it supports all standard encryption protocols. 

The only wish is if the developer could implement a share extension. That would be totally amazing. Please think about it.
-- wildeling, 2017-04-23

### ***** "Good app"
Nice and simple app. Please create a desktop app as well and add the secure backup option.
-- nilesh1883, 2015-11-02

### ***** "Works very well"
It's simple to use,works very well and no ads ! I loved it!! Thanks!
-- Pushkaraj kolatkar, 2013-03-05

### ***** "Have been using it for some time now.."
Contacts not showing. Please fix!!
-- AkhilB, 2013-02-05

### ***** "It's free and ad-free. WoW"
I needed an app which would support gTalk, should be light weight, $0 in app store and no ads. Thanks for this app. It has everything one needs. I feel that the UX colors are too cluttered. Maybe if this app has lesser borders in chat window, it would look so beautiful and yet simple.
-- Pranav-prakash, 2012-12-14

### ***** "Very good"
Compare to other applications this is very good and Thera no problem like disconnecting during chatting
-- Dev1245808532124, 2011-12-01

### *---- "Waste of time"
Cisco WEBEX connect is not working.
-- Kiran@Vizag, 2011-09-03
