Ratings and Reviews
Restarted my phone and the app completely reset
It’s fine, self-hosted xmpp is a bit of a mad house, and the developers are doing gods work.
However be warned that after using this app for the past year, you should be prepared for:
- Missing calls: I miss calls all the time. Sometime the app rings after the caller has been sent to voicemail or sometimes it never rings. When you answer, the integration to the iPhone dialler app doesn’t hand over well
- No DTMF: if you call any service that needs you to press a number to select an option, this app doesn’t do it. There’s DTMF generators online you’ll have to hold the phone to a speaker to use.
- Message formatting issues: long press on messages, and just loading conversations yields inconsistent formatting issues.
And the most recent - I restarted my phone and the app just completely reset. I’m greeted with the startup/welcome screen and need to setup all my accounts again.
Self hosted xmpp is not for the feint of heart.
Despite my bellyaching, I really do love the developers and the work they’re doing.
Getting Better
Even though conversations and chatsecure can upload files, this app says http upload not supported by server. A server-side fix can mitigate this issue. Omemo sometimes doesn’t decrypt, enabling and disabling fixes this. Some image previews are shown as a squished bar in the chat thread.
