About Cheogram

The Cheogram Android app allows you to join a worldwide communication network. It especially focuses on features useful to users who want to contact those on other networks as well, such as SMS-enabled phone numbers.

Based on the app Conversations, but with unique features:

* Messages with both media and text, including animated media

* Unobtrusive display of subject lines, where present

* Links to known contacts are shown with their name

* Show timestamps for calls

* Integrates with gateways' add contact flows

* When using a gateway to the phone network, integrate with the native Android Phone app

* Address book integration

* Tag contacts and channels and browse by tag

* Command UI

Where to get service:

Cheogram Android requires you have an account with a Jabber service. You can run your own service, or use one provided by someone else, for example: https://snikket.org/hosting/
