Does everything a jabber/XMPP app should do
I saw some reviews of people having issues receiving messages and the server not fetching them properly that’s primarily because of the Server that you’re using for that it’s kind of out of Monals hands if the server that your jabber account is using is unstable you can verify that on the XMPP website where they provide server addresses to use or even create your own server then you won’t have to worry about it being unstable. But overall wonderful app is the best of the best. In my opinion you’re not gonna really get a modern looking one because jabber is just so old and I’m surprised it’s even still around lol
