Description

Bruno is the cutest Jabber/XMPP Instant Messaging (IM) app available. It is a themed version of the open source yaxim app.

You can use Bruno if the other IM apps are just not stylish enough.

Features:
★ Joyful colors: magenta, pink, ice and pine
★ 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)

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

Crap, no Facebook, gtalk. You better change the description

Simple and it works great! Not a lot of options but it takes very few resources and we love it. Development: My only suggestion would be a pop-up message as it is difficult to see the reminder. Keep it up!

Wish it could do conferences... What's not to love? It's purple with a fantastic font. Sadly it doesn't seem to support conferences but when it does I can stop using jTalk.

Nice App Very cool, simple, nice app. My girlfriend loves it. But she also misses cute smilies xD How about Teddy-Smilies? :)

Christian Williams

Best XMPP app for my use case that I've tried of all available. Would give 5 * if it included group conversations as well.

Simple, Small and Perfect A nice non invasive chat option. I love xmpp, and Bruno is the coolest bear ever :)

Works. I must admit i installed it because of the futurama names. Which is what i use for my hostnaming list. But its cute cozy and works.

Nice, smileys? :) would be nice to have some smileys :) Teddy bears could fit!

Last version doesn't reconnect automatically :/

Yoshi Matsumoto July 9, 2014

Nice for xmpp Nice I like the app enough to leave jaxim for this one. It looks good to the eye. I just didn't like the whole disconnecting and reconnecting me thing I experience with this and jaxim every time I close the app. Probably there is a fix but this app is fine although not my main for xmpp.

Travis Bartlett February 1, 2014

Good, but not currently working I really like this app but all of a sudden I'm getting a "No SASL authentication mechanism available."

Nik Gav April 7, 2014

Great app Thanks to the author Works perfectly

Excellent XMPP client

Miranda Rhys-Jones October 2, 2013

No conferences? The client was stylish as promised HOWEVER, I was unable to join conferences/group chats. For this reason I have to uninstall and find another option :(

Foae F December 27, 2013

Would love to see extras... like file send, photo sharing, pre-configured accounts etc. 5 stars for heads up!

Need better ui I like the simplicity of this app, but the contact list ui could have been better, for example showing avatar. Unfortunately it isn't configurable.

A Google User September 11, 2012

Htc rezound Super easy to use and set up.. I like the notification bar icon too.

Helmut Kleinmacher May 21, 2013

Hooray cute & actually-free unlike adware Now must contend with GNU xabber and Beem. • • • Needs ° XEP-0016 (privacy manager), ° S.C.R.A.M., ° OTR (and validation modalities), ° mpOTR. ° multiple simultaneous accounts • • • Thank george for relentless HONEST development +irc. ::::: People who use sms to text are foolishly burning money and naive

Raavi Shiva Sai January 5, 2013

Not bad Good in connection but updating or receiving take time. No avatars

A Google User May 11, 2012

Aw yeah This is just awesome. Just yaxim but themed with super gay(joyous) bear. I would give it six stars.

David Dietrich July 8, 2014

No MUC support It is a lovely, fast app, but it has no multiuser chat room support.

Parrot Expired August 28, 2013

Excellent Any chance for more XEPs? File transfer?

Giancarlo Molina August 11, 2014
