Top Pcmac Reviews

Not yet ready for prime time, it seems

By kts_kettek (Pcmac user)

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.
Connection unreliable

By nickd111 (Pcmac user)

Connects to corporate Xmpp server okay, but I see two MAJOR issues that prevent me from using: 1. The list of online users is not correct. There are users who are online and available, but do not show in the list. Disconnecting and reconnecting does not help. 2. Connection drops after some time with no indication whatsoever. I’ll go back to app and all looks good with the list of users that appear online/away, but the connection has actually dropped and that list means nothing. Have to disconnect and reconnect to get back online. Have not tested the actual ‘chat’ functionality due to the above rendering the app unusable to me. If I can help by providing some kind of log file, please let me know how. iOS is sorely lacking in reliable direct connect xmpp clients and this app shows the most promise.
ideal XMPP app

By tekbasse (Pcmac user)

All the ingredients to make an excellent XMPP app are here. Responsive developer using a peer reviewable open source coding process and licensing. If I had a business, I'd hire this developer to integrate more with other productivity tools and add custom alert sounds.
Disconnects frequently, not reliable

By Vladwil (Pcmac user)

Disconnects frequently, cannot have a two way conversation as some messages are lost.
