XMPP Features
Conversations works with every XMPP server out there. However XMPP is an extensible protocol. These extensions are standardized as well in so called XEP’s. Conversations supports a couple of those to make the overall user experience better. There is a chance that your current XMPP server does not support these extensions. Therefore to get the most out of Conversations you should consider either switching to an
XMPP server that does or - even better - run your own XMPP server for you and your friends.
These XEPs are - as of now:

• XEP-0065: SOCKS5 Bytestreams (or mod_proxy65). Will be used to transfer files if both parties are behind a firewall (NAT).
• XEP-0163: Personal Eventing Protocol for avatars
• XEP-0191: Blocking command lets you blacklist spammers or block contacts without removing them from your roster.
• XEP-0198: Stream Management allows XMPP to survive small network outages and changes of the underlying TCP connection.
• XEP-0280: Message Carbons which automatically syncs the messages you send to your desktop client and thus allows you to switch seamlessly from your mobile client to your desktop client and back within one conversation.
• XEP-0237: Roster Versioning mainly to save bandwidth on poor mobile connections
• XEP-0313: Message Archive Management synchronize message history with the server. Catch up with messages that were sent while Conversations was offline.
• XEP-0352: Client State Indication lets the server know whether or not Conversations is in the background. Allows the server to save bandwidth by withholding unimportant packages.
• XEP-0363: HTTP File Upload allows you to share files in conferences and with offline contacts. Requires an additional component on your server.

It was the worst experience of my life. Zero support of any kind as all communication is one-sided, or you can join sign up to another service and add your questions to a VERY LONG QUE and wait like everybody else. If you choose to pay for his professional services, good luck, as he doesn't respond to that request either. EDIT Daniel sent me an email 1 hour ago after reading my review with a link he's taken down instead of reaching out and making amends. Zero character.

Few suggestions for the developer 1. Slide to reply option must be there to reply particular line easily. 2. Freequent messages append in one paragraph. Every line of the message should be in seperate line so that a user can opt which message he wants to reply. 3. Pictures quality decrease when sent through this app. It should go as it is.

Perhaps the one app that keeps me on Android. Seamless XMPP support (I use Prosody), great UI, and no memorable glitches or bugs in the several years I've used it.
