About Mangler

From the developers of the first open source version of a Ventrilo client, we present the first unofficial Ventrilo version of the Android client. Mangler is an open source VOIP client capable of connecting to Ventrilo 3.x servers.

The Mangler developers are the ones that worked hard to open up the Ventrilo protocol and allow this software on multiple platforms. Today, we are proud to offer Mangler on the Android platform as well.

The Mangler developer team offers support as best we can (via our website, forums, and IRC) at no cost to our users. Our software is completely open source and we welcome any changes and improvements to provide a better experience.

(No offense, but) this app works so much better than I expected. Only critique is that I don't want to have to enter a password every time I enter a password-protected channel

I have been using this app for over 2 years now and through multiple types of android mobiles. It is by far the BEST Vent app I've come across. Please, PLEASE - I'M BEGGING YOU, PLEASE make an apple version for iPad Air 2.... !!!!!!

After it crashed my Droid Bionic and my phone rebooted, all my contacts were gone. Possibly a memory leak?

D70%
by D####:

Keeps dropping. Says unfortunately it has stopped. Somewhat annoying. Please fix.

D70%
by D####:

It won't let me use the microphone even if I use Bluetooth! This makes it useless on my phone (Android 4.4 Kit Kat)

D70%
by D####:

I just love this app. Who doesn't love vent. And who doesn't love vent on your phone. Lol.

D70%
by D####:

The app works well enough but crashes the instant I enable my Bluetooth headset.

D70%
by D####:

Would often crash even just switching channels or immediately after starting or RAZR and RAZR HD. Ventriloid is much more stable in my experience.

D70%
by D####:

The only thing I would request would be for the app to look more 'new' (Holo Themed).. Almost looks 'old' because of the old API

Crashes on HTC thunderbolt if anyone says anything

Great for when I am stuck in traffic and late for raid.

Devs are assholes who don't give credit where it's due.

When it works, this app is great. The trouble is there's 2 major flaws which render it nearly useless. (1) Constant crashing. Literally crashing dozens of times per day with moderate use. I've been submitting crash reports every time for months now. Last app update was in 2011. The dev is gone. (2) Cannot stay connected for more than 10 minutes reliably before it disconnects from the server and it has no option to auto-reconnect. Even when on a solid wifi connection it will silently disconnect all the time. Sometimes it disconnects and shows the server list again. Other times it shows you're connected but the user list is blank and you're really not. Other times it shows the user list as if you are connected but when you go to speak it shows and error message and you find you're not really connected anymore. This is over wifi too, using it on a cellular connection where it would need to auto-reconnect every few minutes as the signal strength fluctuates is completely impossible.

is there any way to set Bluetooth as a push to talk?

K70%
by K####:

Worked well enough in GB and ICS, but having upgrade my Nexus to JellyBean, the app constantly closes on it's own (not even a full FC notification). Would like to see an update happen to support Jelly Bean sometime :)

Friends say I sound clear. Unfortunately stops receiving when screen is off.

Z70%
by Z####:

Works well has a strange bug of switching the incoming voice to my phone speaker instead of my headset if i untoggle push to talk if others are speaki

I've been hosting my own Ventrilo Server for years and this is by far the best app to use on a Android device to connect to a Ventrilo server. Works great on a EVO 4G, EVO 3D & Moto Xoom!

I love Mangler on Android but would love to see these changes... When I hide the top tabs I would like them to stay hidden the next time I open Mangler. Love the inverted look to Mangler but would you make the ptt button and tabs black too? They are so distracting and bright. Maybe a hex color chooser for these or all elements. And of course the hard one... Auto cue that possibly works screen off. Thanks in advance! I would pay a dollar or two for a "pro" version of Mangler :-)

Could you please add voice detection so i could use my bluetooth headset without javing to press a button everytime i want to talk.

U70%
by U####:

Excellent APP just wish PTT worked system wide so I can play order and chaos and talk at same time.

Z70%
by Z####:

Perfact app! Nothing better than communicating with the World of Warcraft while you're AFK

Z70%
by Z####:

I would even pay for it as long as it supported Bluetooth headsets, but it does NOT

Z70%

I connect and talk fine.. just causes phone to reboot after awhile

X70%
by X####:

Seemingly works fine on the HTC Inspire 4G, until you try to talk or hear people. No incoming or outgoing audio.

O70%
by O####:

The only thing it is lacking is the ability for admins to manage things, if this were added it would be 5 stars. Otherwise it is fantastic.

Bar none. Best mobile vent client. Same project that was the first to make a 3rd party vent client.

by Q####:

Exactly what I was looking for on my tablet. I love the option to have PTT as a keypress and hold, and having the option to keypress switch it on or off. Thanks a lot.

Works great on my Droid and on my Galaxy Nexus.

Awesome app. Works great...

P70%

I couldn't get my headset to work on my computer. This saved me a huge headache.

Z70%
by Z####:

I installed this app so I could find a way to never miss important events on Ventrilo again whenever I have to go afk. Now, I can stick my tablet or phone in my pocket walk through the house or go out into the backyard and never miss out. My only complaint with this app is that there is no easy way to close/terminate it, app must be 'forced stopped' from within 'application manager'.

Y70%
by Y####:

Wtf is with the big buttons at the top? Thats retarded. We are on phones ffs, we need SPACE! Also cannot click links in chat. Going back to ventriloid

E70%
by E####:

When connected over WiFi other connected users in vent complain of obnoxious screeching noise. Works fine only on 3G or 4G. Epic 4G.

This is the better of the two vent apps, the other one being ventriloid, it crashes every single time or did for me, this app although not as graphically good as ventriloid does the job perfectly
