Review summary

Many users praise yaxim’s clean UI and easy, reliable direct messaging. However, frequent concerns include inconsistent or missing OMEMO encryption, no chat rooms, connection and stability issues across networks, lack of image support in chats, and some device compatibility problems along with a sense that the project is not actively maintained. Overall, it’s strong for plain-text messaging and UI, but feature gaps and reliability issues limit its appeal.

Pros

Easy-to-use, clean and attractive UI
Direct messaging generally works well and feels reliable to many users
Plain-text messaging with HTTP file sharing is solid
OMEMO encryption support in some builds

Cons

Inconsistent or missing OMEMO encryption across versions
No chat rooms or group chat management
Connection issues and network instability (some can't connect, wifi vs mobile, IPv6 problems)
Lack of image/media support in chats
Device compatibility problems and perceived lack of active maintenance

2023-10-19	Ni*****	ICQ Jimm app for Java2ME feature phones weights ~100KB & runs faster... Why comparable app for Android weights ~ 30 (!..) times heavier & runs slowlier, of course?.. I need just a text & URL (clickable) transfer IM app only: with no fcing voice-/video- calls!!!

2023-07-16	Al*****	It lacks OMEMO, auto-away and support to view user profiles, but otherwise is a stable and - if all you need is plain text messaging and HTTP file sharing - perfectly tolerable client to use. UI is better than Conversations' IMO. Wish it wasn't so abandoned.
