good solution

BeejiveIM is too expensive. This app is good solution for group conversation. thank you beejive.

Structural problems

I bought this app because it supports push notifications. Yeah, it costs money but you get push in return, right? Let me tell you that this app locks up. All. The. Time. I gave it two stars because they did a good job on the UI. This app uses beejive servers to proxy requests to your jabber server. This is the only way push can be supported on iOS. Unfortunately, whichever way they are doing this just doesnt work (overloaded servers?). I can force quit the app but the next time I launch it, it just locks up again. Monal is a better alternative (no push but free).

App locks up

App locks up and you have to press home to exit,then to try and start it up again it just shuts down.

Has been App

When I first bought this app it was awesome. However the last several updates have introduced severe connectivity issues. The app was originally fast and snappy IMs were real time same speed as if I was on my laptop on the network but now it cant even successfully login and when it does it hangs updating with the server. Better to pass on this one.

Current version doesnt work

It used to be a good app. Nice UI, supports group chat. However, this version doesnt work. As soon as you try to connect, or even access account setup, it crashes. I havent been able to use it for two months. Also, their support is pretty much useless.

Crash!

Crashes, crashes and crashes again.

wouldnt work on internal (openfire) server

One Team is more $$$ but just worked - no hassle

Crash....crash...crash

Please fix. I spent a lot of money for something that wont work. Even with TODAYS update!!!!?

Great potential, but crashes, support questionable

Crashing left an right. No response to my support request. Sad, this looked liked it had a lot of potential.

Really as bad as the reviews say

I thought I could sneak by using this once in while for a work IM, and deal with the errors. Unfortunately, it froze completely as soon as I attempted to sign in for the first time.

Works as advertised

Push notifications and long session times makes this app well with the $3.

Seems to work great!

My Jabber / XMPP server is Mountain Lion server (10.8.4) with the "Messages" service enabled. I have it configured to use a registered domain name and am using a self-signed SSL certificate on port 5223 ("Legacy SSL" is checked in my account settings). Connecting was easy and very similar to iChat / Messages on the Mac. The user interface is very clean compared to some other Jabber clients Ive tried. To me, a nice interface is usually a good indication of good code underneath. I havent experienced any crashes or things that make me scratch my head. I like that I dont have to connect to an additional chat service (like Trillion) just to connect to my own server. I might be missing it, but Id like more control over what happens when I close the app. It seems like closing JabberB only sets my status to "Idle" (as seen from a Messages buddy list). Id like the option to just go offline. Definitely worth three bucks, and Ill be recommending this app for our employees. Good work!

Mediocre at best

A very inconsistent app. It will run for me just fine for several weeks than as I log back into different rooms one room will fail to connect and disconnect me from the server. I re-connect attempt to enter rooms, and the same room will disconnect. Uninstall/Reinstall a few times and will normally start to run normally again, no real reason why it throws an error it just happens. Very few updates. Shame it could be a great app, but the developers are just letting it rot away.

Crashes

Pretty much unusable as it crashes after opening for more than 10 seconds.

Worthless

Logs you out whenever you try to join a group chat. Using iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

Disappointing app...

Message sent from this app get bottled up where the 1st several messages wont send and then 2 or 3 get sent at one time. This is the only XMPP app that has this flaw. It is a shame because otherwise this would be the best XMPP client out there.

Marks me as away

When I switch apps this app automatically marks me as away even though Im set to available. Its really frustrating and Ive emailed tech support and got no response -very disappointed. Also doesnt alert when I get a new message unless app is open.

Shows messages sent but its not

The app is showing that the messages are sent but no one gets it

Crashing

App crashes repeatedly since I BOUGHT it? Figured this would be fixed by now. Its to the point where I cant even login without crashing. Real shame. Otherwise great function when its not crashing.

Terrible

The application constantly crashes. Change your stays, crash. Change a preference, crash. Receive an image, crash.
