yaxim - XMPP/Jabber client

Georg Lukas

About this app

yaxim (Yet Another XMPP Instant Messenger) is an XMPP client with a clean user interface and open source (GPLv2). Why pay for SMS if you can have unlimited messaging on your data plan?

yaxim aims at security, low overhead and keeping your server connection open. So far, it only supports a single account.

Features:
* Connection with a single XMPP server (or GTalk, or Facebook Chat, or …)
* Immediate reconnection on 3G/WiFi network changes (seamless with XEP-0198)
* You are asked about self-signed SSL certificates
* Allows automatic connection after turning on your phone
* Roster management support
* Persistent message history
* Message Carbons (XEP-0280)

yaxim is optimized to use the yax.im free XMPP service: http://yaxim.org/yax.im/

Ratings and reviews

Just switched from Xabber - their client doesn't work well on Samsung phones. Yaxim is a relief after the above mentioned client. A feature request. It'd be cool if Yaxim showed pictures right in the chat window without having to open a broswer (Sawim could do that). Another important thing missing is room management and moderator's commands. At least I couldn't find how to do that.

Connection issues. The latest update you can connect from the mobile network, but not from wifi. The obvious difference is that your LAN probably doesn't support ipv6. Solution is to manually enter the ipv4 address of the server as custom hostname.

it does not support images. but in the description. they have added.

What's new
