Comments on Mangler for Android

★★★★★ Just fix a couple of things 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 :-)

★★★★★ Great vent app 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.

★★★★★ Remarkable I was skeptical at first, but was completely blown away. Works great and easy to function unlike other chat programs.

★★★★★ One of, if not, the best ventrilo app out there. Works flawlessly on my ventrilo server. Perfect for managing away from home. Galaxy S Vibrant.

★★☆☆☆ An app with potential rendered essentially useless 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.

★★☆☆☆ crashes with droid 4 just instantly crashes using droid 4

★★☆☆☆ Does not connect As noted in the forum post (which for some reason I can't post), "connecting...", mangler - based android apps do not contain speex nor have the ability to select codecs. Vent/mumble servers that require codecs cannot be accessed via mangler.

★★☆☆☆ Constantly crashes I have tried this and the other app for ventrilo and they both constantly crash. I can't stay connected for more than a minute at a time.

Description by mangler.org Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.

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.
