Matrix Android Clients
This page should be a somewhat compegensive list of availble Matrix clients.
That follows is just my personal experience and feelings.
I don't own or use IOS devices.
Element - Android
The first one i tried. It feels fully implemented and doesn't lack any critical feature.
A few issues i found:
- Not developed anymore (development moved to Element X)
- Feels heavy an sluggish overall
- Cannot pause and resume audio messages, good luck with that 9 mins messgae you keeo starting again over and over
- Cannot chnage speed in audio messages (really? WTF)
- Cannot listen to audio messages if you close the app (again, WTF?)
I moved on.
Element X - Android
Embarassing successor to Element. While it's much better and has an overall great feeling, i couldn't get myself to use it because:
- It has no emoticons. Come on, Really? WTF?
- Audio at least works better
- Still no speedup or speed down feature for audio messages
I moved on, quickly.
Fluffy Chat - Android
Currently my best choice:
- It's pretty to look at and customizable
- Audio messages Just Works Fine™
- It has all the features you would expect
I can see no drawbacks so far.
