is this a zombie app?

whenever i try to chat to someone, the app closes permanently.

Is there any developer there? hello

Fails to connect

I can’t even connect to an add account. Useless app. Using IPad Pro bought in July 2023, attempted to use app on March 18th 2024. Please fix!

Privacy Violation

Sent a picture to one of my contacts.

Instead of it going to the person, AstaChat uploaded it to their servers! 🤯😡

It didn’t ask me first. All it says is “Your friend sent an image via AstraChat. Download (the app) at (our website) to see the image.”

WHAT A MASSIVE PRIVACY VIOLATION.

Used to work well

I have my own xmpp server prosody running on a pi3. Desktop clients connect fine using pidgin. And this program used to work. Then there was an update, and all attempts to connect fail so I tried deleting and re-creating the ID on this app no luck. I tried uninstalling the app entirely and reinstalling it still no luck. Attempt to connect sit there for so many seconds and then fail. No useful error message nothing in the XMPP server log. If I put in an invalid login and password, it fails immediately so there is a communication attempt which is successful to the point where it fails. They’ve obviously changed something beyond just updating it for the new iOS. If you can get it to work it’s a fine chat program. Good luck.

Fecha sozinho ao tentar procurar contato

O aplicativo funciona a muito bem, exceto quando tentamos pesquisar um contato, ele fecha sozinho.

App Crashes

App simple looks good, but it crashes when selecting a contact

Nice but not enough

Nice application, but without encryption like omemo it become useless.
Also a true ipad version is missing

Worked for years, no more

Hat über Jahre prima mit meinem xmpp-server funktioniert, jetzt nicht mehr. Speichert man den Account neu, hat man Zugriff. Versucht man zu schreiben, geht die App vom Tisch.

Не работает в групповом чате

Приложение закрывается после отправки сообщения в групповом чате

Crash after update

Then try to open any chat. Iph 12 m

Не открывается

iOS 16.1.1 сразу вылетает. Исправьте, оценку поменяю.

App doesn’t work

The app open and closes quickly

Updates

Need more updates to the app don’t have an option to join groups but if you add the same existing group you’ll join it iPhones are not notified of incoming messages unless they are running the app not sure why but other apps I’ve tried have the same issue but what’s the point really androids don’t have this problem but I’ll continue to use this app because I do like it it’s the only universal app across platforms and for that I’m grateful I only use it for my self hosted server I also love the p2p voip feature

Stopped working after IOS update 14,3
Fix please

Push Notifications

Still not getting any notifications of messages, I have notifications enabled in the app and have given it permissions via iPhone settings.
1 star as you can’t actually see when you have messages.

Can’t sign in

How do I sign in ?

Not fit for purpose

When members of groups send messages not all members of the group see the messages, notifications are really hit and miss forcing you to keep checking the app for any messages which is really not ideal. I have reported this but have not herd anything from the support team.
