SchildiChat Next

About this app

SchildiChat Next is a client for the matrix protocol, based on the Element X app.
Similarly to Element X, this SchildiChat Android rewrite should still be considered beta, as it lacks some functionality which one might expect from a fully-featured chat app, compared to the old SchildiChat implementation.

The matrix protocol is a decentralized approach to modern messaging, allowing you to select a server provider of your choice (or even self-host your own server), enabling you to communicate with end-to-end encryption, shared message history across multiple devices, and more.

SchildiChat is open source: https://github.com/SchildiChat/schildichat-android-next

Ratings and reviews

This is better than Element X; whenever it's not locking up. But then "Force Stop", "clear cache" and reopen; and you're good for another hour or so.

app looks fine, but the notifications aren't working as they should be. me and my friend are trying this app,but I cannot get a notif when they sent a message. please look into this as me and my friend wanna give this app a go.

After the latest update it stopped working on my Android 8, period. Trying to open it freezes the system.
