ChatSecure is an open-source encrypted messaging application that uses Cypherpunks` Off-the-Record protocol to secure a communication channel over XMPP (Google Talk, Jabber, etc) or Oscar (AIM).

Do not trust it             Should you trust it this is what I do101
Sweet                     Working Buxton has
Hands down best client                     Best Jabber client for iOS Lanhar
I am a big fan of Signal It s my go to however it sufferers from cross platform support This app brings a secure XMPP client to iOS                 XMPP client for iOS jacksnack
The notifications never come through It s hard to see the point of a messenger without working notifications             Notifications broken saywha4321
The app is working great The OMEMO implementation is easy to use Sadly there s still no support for sending photos to Conversations im users via mod http upload                 No photos to Converstations im pepe le kek
Subj says it all It can connect through tor without any extra tweaks and external stuff or apps And it is free                     No more searching Best xmpp app for ios 0verfl0w
Bit tricky to setup encryption but thats also due to the other end point No app crashes after 6m of use             Good Bberry @ iphone
ChatSecure is supposed to send a warning after 9 minutes that you ll be disconnected unless you open it within a minute but it doesn t send it to me There s a push notification issue that the app recognizes but then just links me to some long documentation on XEP 0357 and doesn t explain how to make it work So the app is effectively useless for me     XEP 0357 shannontyler89
The app initially will connect to the hipchat server but after closing and reopening the connection always fails with a xml syntax validation failure for the connection that was just working Additionally it does not support groups rooms and will only work he first time it connects to send 1 1 messages     Not a good hipchat XMPP replacement Wired333
No background support makes this app essentially useless         Lack of background support MusicPerson72
Confused about setting up ID on my iPad Do I need an actual email address as my ID How does the auto generated ID work I m giving this 5 stars even though I m not sure how it works because I believe in what you re trying to do protect our privacy Thanks                     How to set up on iPad SSYKG
A little too secure maybe It keeps timing out faster than you can think App works well but needs a few feature changes to make it super usable As it is designed now you have to use an out of band method to agree to chat in advance you can t simply leave the app open waiting for incoming chats This is the app s HUGE disadvantage While yes it makes it HIGHLY secure it also makes it difficult to use There SERIOUSLY needs to be an option to adjust how long to stay open in the background including forever This would make the communications over the air secure what most people are really concerned about while leaving the phone potentially a target I use the app a lot for secure communications when I can t get a VPN to be stable but a few tweaks would make the app A LOT more usable and it would become my sole XMPP app                     Best OTR Chat App JRK1231
Signing out after one minute of background is dumb Works fine otherwise             Needs a Keep Alive flag mhlkjhdf
Too confusing But so promising             Couldn t get it to encrypt chat violette888
So this is the only OTR XMPP chat client available Unfortunately it tries to expire your session every time it isn t the foreground app for more than a minute A minute Chat is a background to do during other things logging out of it causes message loss and frustration If there were any other OTR app I d switch away from this one             Work at all but Feonixrift
Subject The only concern otherwise works great             Does not support group chats tectiv3
Though I use it only a little I m glad this exists Thank you                 Works for my use [≤≥‘!}
I need privacy in texting communications as we all do now This app was suggested but was a fail due to ZERO customer support It asks for feedback so I gave it without any confirmation from their side Both my friend I were put off by apps operation It s like a mystery tool that might work but not clearly I input friends contact and app has pending for weeks now Pending No explanations Just pending No feedback confirmation You have to hope it s even functioning to guard privacy     Chat Secure Fail Need4Privacy
Complete trash Garbage implementation of a great way to avoid kykes NSA watching over your messages not that it matters on a backdoored device App is crippled on iPhone 6 huge interface delay on typing or switching orientation     Garbage implementation Sky793
Awesome that I can connect to my secure chat but it keeps unexpectedly quitting Also it would be cool to be able to join Jabber rooms on the app as well Definitely has potential but it needs a little work Glad this is out though A great start             Awesome but issues Brokeandaddicted

There aren t many chat apps that support OTR especially with the option to connect through ToR I do wish this would stay active in the background for much longer though                     Great OTR app MikeSF1
This app is beautifully made It gives me a jabber client on ios and it s the best I ve found It s got a pretty niche selection of services but it does it s job extremely well And it s free Thank you developer for making this gem and giving it away                     Awesome Ysl51

Support for AOL Instant Messenger was removed in version 2 2 1 Feb 27th 2014 and still not added back in nearly a year Meanwhile the screenshots are old and falsely suggest AIM is supported     False advertising BigAl1776
The app is very slow and laggy hard to type in smoothly             Too slow LuciferAC

Works like a charm Seamlessly integrated with Google and Facebook both Not sure why some people get so agitated that the free app doesn t work with everything they want Sorry but maybe you should spend some hard earned money or time of your own to get something better Cheers love the app                     Awesome App - Guy Who Mines Coin -

Chris decided for some reason to rely on CocoaPods which makes the software tricky to build after cloning from github because it seems no one has mastered the dark art of creating pods Pods never build properly and what is worse they modify the project file which is a huge nono        The source code doesnt compile
Please fix the crashing issue The last releases were working soooooo well StillThanks for the great work        Crashingafter working so good

Ive been looking for a month for a google chat client that works and is decently designed Thanks              Works so far
The app is very slow and laggy hard to type in smoothly           Too slow
Shows all contacts as offline     Not working
This is the only Jabber client Ive found that offers OTR messaging connects to private nonfederated servers AND doesnt require registering with push services Truly a great app Keep up the good work                 Great Jabber Client
Bring background support please Why the chat has to automatically disconnect after 1m of idle        Background support
Just got a 5s with iOS 7 and the message program doesnt scale right Wont properly display text unreadable     Use to work in ios6
Needs optional ability to autoconnect to a configured account with saved password as well as support for GPG keys Otherwise a good start           Needs autoconnect GPG
It works exactly as advertised Highly recommended No junkware included                 Excellent client
GARBAGE DO NOT INSTALL SUPPORT FOR PROTOCOLS ADVERTISED REMOVED FROM APP this app advertises support for protocols such as aim and other popular protocols i thought great an app which will allow me to use my favorite protocols and use high level encryption with OTR one HUGE problem not all of the protocols which are advertised and depicted in the application screen shots on this applications page are supported this app effectively only supports a couple protocols now which are obscure have no widespread use and are not use by me or anyone i know in theory this app could be amazing but as it stands it is completely useless not only useless but is the subject of FALSE ADVERTISEMENT add support for aim it is greatly needed you advertise its support be honest and provide what you claim to stop false advertisement you are disappointing misleading and wasting the time of a lot of people     GARBAGE FALSE ADVERTISEMENT DO NOT INSTALL
Works like a charm Seamlessly integrated with Google and Facebook both Not sure why some people get so agitated that the free app doesnt work with everything they want Sorry but maybe you should spend some hard earned money or time of your own to get something better Cheers love the app                 Awesome App

Most modern users are unfamiliar with OTR This Ap needs a simple illustrated walk through to help users set up their accounts DuckDuckGo for example does a nice job on their illustrations use that type           Needs Illustrated Guide
It supports XMPP secure over TLS 12 this is quite very nice feature Inside TLS traffic there is an DSA encryption with 1024 160 bit publicprivate key pair Although traffic is double encrypted the second encryption key length should be at least 2048 256 bit If key length was 3072384 bit and encryption algorithm was RSAAES than this app would be the most secure chat app on the planet Nice job fellow                 Almost perfect

I was surprised by the ease of use and the great features for connecting through other chat services like Facebook but Im experiencing frequent crashes autodeleting o messages even though I deselected that option and am mildly annoyed at having to relogin to Facebook after every crash With a few fixes this will be stellar EDIT After rebooting phone crashing issue seems to be gone Added one star still would like to see auto login fix of the auto delete problem and reliable notifications Thanks           Needs some work
There arent many chat apps that support OTR especially with the option to connect through ToR I do wish this would stay active in the background for much longer though                 Great OTR app
Surprisingly solid piece of software Its a chat client it works with google talk it also does OTR but I suppose dont trust your life to it Its frequently updated and its the most no nonsense gtalk client Ive seen in AppStore I use it if I need to message people who are more likely to be on gtalk then have their phone handy Samuel Jackson beer It gets you drunk                 Solid
Just rolled this app out to our organization for use with our Openfire XMPP server Does everything we need for our implementation Keep up the good work                 Excellent App just what the doctor ordered
But the app constantly force closes whenever you return to home screen then back              Would have been 5
