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!
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.
Looks good!
Looks great, loads of functions.
Would be great if OTR was supported
One account
It being free is a pro, that's for sure. Con is that one is able to add multiple accounts but you can only be signed into one account add a time.
