User Reviews

Pros: encryption/privacy with OpenPGP, easy setup, no ads, and cross-provider openness. Cons: recurring login/connection problems after updates, call reliability issues, and several UX/feature gaps. Overall, Conversations is a privacy-focused XMPP client with strong potential, but reliability and usability improvements are needed.

Pros

Strong encryption with OpenPGP support (noted as unique among XMPP clients).
Stable connection and low server spam; reliable private messaging.
No ads in the app.
Easy setup/configuration for connecting to an XMPP server.
Cross-provider openness and freedom to choose service providers.

Cons

Connection/registration problems after updates (can't connect, wrong passwords, unauthorized errors).
Voice calling reliability issues (calls disconnect after a minute; delays in real-time).
Features missing or inconsistent (history notifications, media sharing instability, missing image viewer, harder to see online status).
Usability/readiness for new users (some reviews say it isn’t intuitive).
Avatar cache issues and multi-account contact handling confusion.

I like the app but notifications are not working as expected. I am getting spammed non stop that there is a new message when there isn't one, and I get no notification when there is a new message. Can you please fix that?

У приложения нет особых альтернатив, неплохо выполняет свои функции. Единственное, что удручает, это крайне нестабильное отображение уведомлений практически на всех самсунгах. Сообщения из групповых чатов могут появляться в уведомления, а могут не появляться. Тоже самое с носимыми устройствами: звонок может отразиться на браслете, а может и нет. Но в любом случае все участвующие в разработке - молодцы!

The best messenger ever, beautiful, fast and clean UI, the video calls are more fluid than on any other messenger even on old phones, the only thing I dislike is that every image I send got downloaded back into my gallery whatever the settings I change, it makes a lot of duplicates to manually delete when my images are also automatically synced in a cloud, I wish I could prevent that, then this app would be flawless.
