  • Can no longer copy and paste texts I receive.

    I used to be able to do this and it was very convenient. Now when I press down on the incoming text,nothing happens.

    You have to swipe the message bubbleto the left.That will give you all sorts of buttons to interact with the message. One of them being "copy".
  • Use to be a nice functional app.

    The more this app updates, the worse it seems to get. Years ago, it looked and functioned great. The addition of OMEMO was great in theory but I have never gotten it to function usably with Openfire since the addition. Now, the new “bugfixes” just cause it to crash immediately when it gets the green connection to the server. Ironic when something is better off not being “improved”.

    You should try the new Monal 5.0. That probably fixes your crash. You can contact meat thilo+monal@eightysoft.de if your crashes persist and we can debug them together with the opernfire guys (could be a bug/bad interaction with openfire, too, prosodyand ejabberd don't have these crashes).
  • Crashes

    The app used to work for me but now whenever I try to use it, it crashes. I’m using the app with an Openfire server that I connect to using OpenVPN to access the network. The app won’t crash until I connect to the VPN and then it just closes. I found that if I disable the account in the app and then connect to the VPN, the app won’t crash until I re-enable the chat account in the app and then it almost instantly crashes. There is something that the app doesn’t like about OpenVPN for some reason.

    If this crashes persist with the new Monal 5.0 you can contact me at thilo+monal@ightysoft.de and I will try to debug your crash.
  • Buggy, should not be on the app store

    Resends messages, takes forever to connect to display new messages even after receiving a push notification... it needs a major overhaul or be removed from the store.

    You do get push notifications, but no new messages get displayed when you open the app.

  • Crashes when sending a message

    Crashes when sending a message, making it unusable. Crashes every time.
  • Great App & Free

    This is a great app that’s free & still offers all features . People make apps & sell without any features . High efficiency & Zero complaints . Thanks Developer.
  • Doesn’t work with spark

    Doesn’t work with spark IM
  • OMEMO doesn't work (june 2019)

    the server is prosody
    omemo works perfect on all the clients i use(gajim,conversation legacy) but not at all. impossible to get the omemo key.
  • Not yet ready for prime time, it seems

    MUCs don’t properly create as it throws away the associated account; Adding MUCs have no user feedback; Online users only show up for one of my XMPP accounts; “Quick” adding an account threw out the TLD for some reason.

    Second time trying it in the hopes there were fewer bugs — and, in its defense, I was able to add my personal account and my business accounts this time, but not with full functionality. Perhaps it also can actually maintain push events without silently disconnecting you from your accounts this time around, but it will remain a mystery to me.
