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

★ Roster management support
★ Persistent message history

Ratings and reviews

Guys it's a good app but it shows a notification on its icon but I can't find why. Secondly your icon of the toy bear head shows on the phone when it's locked which for a professional phone is not such a great look. I would like the option to hide the icon itself, just leaving details I am connected.

Have been testing for a while now..seems great. Could use an updated look, but all in all, great. Reliable. No issues. Also, this app works flawlessly without google play services. Thank you for that. Appreciate your work. Thanks.

Very easy to install and configure with Jabber/XMPP. The most important thing I like is very light weight, just 1.5 mb. It supports few themes.

What's new

Improved DNS and First Startup dialog.
