User Reviews

Siskin IM is a strong XMPP client for iOS with solid OMEMO support and a user-friendly UI, plus open-source provenance and accessible support. However, reliability concerns (crashes/login problems, flaky push notifications) and the lack of message deletion, along with an aging UI, are the most frequently mentioned drawbacks.
Pros
  • Excellent XMPP client on iOS with strong OMEMO support; several reviews call it the best iOS XMPP option with OMEMO.
  • Pleasant UI with automatic dark/light mode and an easy-to-use interface.
  • Accessible in-app support/community options.
  • Privacy-friendly approach (data not collected).
  • Open-source and actively developed.
Cons
  • Crashes and login issues reported in multiple reviews (e.g., can't login, crashes with advanced settings).
  • Push notifications are unreliable or not working in some cases.
  • Cannot delete messages or conversations (no delete option).
  • UI feels outdated/not fully polished and updates seem infrequent.

Great XMPP client. The interface might be a little dated, unpolished, and a bit buggy sometimes, but it’s probably the best iOS XMPP app you can find. Hasn’t been updated in a while though. Would like to see some more development on it.

The styling is impressive and they have both dark and light mode automatically. They have easy user friendly (considering you’re into this stuff it’s user friendly) interface that is helpful if you’re stuck. They even have an in app way to join their support server. I would REALKY recommend this app since it’s really great and supports almost all you need with xmpp. Once you get the hang and feel of it it’s a great tool. P.S. they also have push notifications which is crazy helpful.

I can't even login. And when I try and use advanced settings the app crashes. This is horrific. Like every other xmpp client on ios
