Z70%
by Z####:

Need option to sort on status: want "online" folks at top.

Z70%
by Z####:

I like the look of it, but it seems to have connection issues. I've been testing by sending chats between my work and personal accounts. Once the phone sis idle for a bit, new chats aren't coming in. It looks like it logs me out.

H70%
by H####:

Wauwl seems aesthetically very pleasing, however, the settings are sparse. What's lacking is: away settings (like auto-away after x min), notification (vibration, notification sound), status message, service discovery & subscription, contact list options (hifde offline), OTR, encryption, the ability to choose what instance you want to msg in case a contact has several JIDs (Jabiru has this feature), & MUC. It also seems that is app is quite battery hungry: lost 11% in less than 2h with only wauwl running.

C70%
by C####:

Not doing message archiving or carbons is just a sad, but expected situation with XMPP clients. Failing to show all online contacts is unfortunately unforgivable.

Desperately needs muc support.
