It's a good application. Just I need a button that let the user change between mobile site and normal site if he/she want.

Hi there, thanks for your review. The feature you are looking for already exists in Mobile Joomla! as "Select Markup module"

While Mobile Joomla does have some nice features, we noticed a considerable slow down for every site we installed it on. Not just the mobile site but even the load time of the desktop site is hit. Also, our database size went from 1.2mb to 38MB! That's a LOT of data added to our sites. When we uninstalled Mobile Joomla, the sites speed pick back up to normal again.

We understand that the PRO version does remote data loading (to reduce the local database size) but that means our sites would then rely on a 3rd party remote site to load template settings?? And it that any faster? I don't believe it would be. Plus the PRO version is very expensive. Nice component but not worth the slow down for us.

Mobile Joomla gives you easy and flexible layouts for all devices like Iphone. The most great thing is the content plugin where you can give special content for mobile and desktop with a tag at article. Also the possibility to switch plugins and modules on or of for example desktop or iphone.

The support is great.
Thanks for this good component!

Good work for completeness but i find this a solution for mobile that requires a lot of complicated settings and it's not so easy to take real advantages.

Mobile Joomla is a really great plug in. At first I was considering to use responsive instead, which is a part of my templates. But after some research, I found that switching to a full mobile design was best. Because this way I am able to ensure that my many sites are truly optimized for mobile devices. I am able to excluding certain module and plugings, or design other modules differently; I am able to make unique articles for the same menu item. Because of this my sites are now well optimized for speed, page size, design elements, and functionality perfectly for mobile devices. I can even do things differently for different mobile devices as well. It can all be customized, and very easily.

This is perfect for me.

That being said … Mobile Joomla simply turns your site into mobile website right out of the box with only a few minutes of install and setup. My above examples are just to illustrate that you can tweak things to a great degree and have a perfect mobile site, if you choose. Or just install and go, and still have as good a site as you would with a responsive template, actually even better.

I cannot recommend Mobile Joomla enough, and of course I suggest it above responsive design strategies. I understand that responsive is all the rage these days... But in my experience responsive sites are not optimized at all, just reshaped. And quite often there are things in responsive designs that don't work or fit like they are supposed to.

Mobile Joomla is free for most of the features. For those who need a little extra there is a pro version. I have needed tech support assistance a couple times, and they are always quick and helpful, we are in different time’s zones so I usually had to wait a bit, but never loner than 24 hours. I needed support once for a very unique requirement of mine. Another time was when I needed something fixed in the core that was broken, once identified they adjusted the source code and patched it, all within a couple hours.

Another thing that is important is to pay close attention to Google analytics to ensure that your pages are being indexed correctly.

So fast to set up and my clients LOVE it! Have tested it with iPhone 4, 4S, 5, Blackberry, iPad - works beautifully! I love the ease of administration, too. You install it and it works. For my purposes I didn't have to change a thing! Definitely planning to upgrade to the PRO version. Keep up the great work!

It helps a lot when users visits our site from cellphones, smartphones and tablets. There's also a very expensive commercial version available.
I wonder what will happen with with the component when J3, responsive design and bootstrap kicks in...

I installed this component and voilla! If somebody reads my comments you know how critical I am. This is my daily business for my customers and it is hard to satisfy me. But this component is a gain of effectiveness -> installation, adaption of the predelivered mobile layout of the component in details (30 min) - GO!
hell i love it. And it's not that easy to get me enthusiastic. ;)

THX Guys! Great work!

We need to serve responsive websites for Mobile devices! Using this solution is by far (Not: easily) the best way to handle this - and it's free!

Consider that Set-Up and Configuration takes time and effort ... as Mobilizing Websites is one of the most challenging tasks today (even worse than to achieve IE-compatibility years ago).

I understand that a more detailed and extensive documentation affords labour time that might be better used for development - use the forum: Experiencing some serious problems myself, the "Friendly Mobile Guys" have helped mye to fix this almost in realtime!

I am glad that we have a free extension like this, magically converts the Joomla into a mobile site. However, I am frustrated with the documentation and tutorials posted in the website. The tutorials show OLD VERSIONS of MobileJoomla. The UI in settings is very different from the tutorial which is very confusing. And guess what, I was not able to convert it into a Mobile site. I even watched a video which was posted 3 years ago. Sorry but you driving away new users of your component.
Owner's reply

Hi there, first of all, we are sorry to hear about your negative experience.

The screenshots in our documentation are mostly from Joomla! 1.5, since majority of our users still use that version, and that may give the impression of an outdated look. The video you watched is not an official tutorial, but was prepared by one of our community members on Joomla! 1.5 and we wanted to credit his efforts. Sorry, it didn't help you.

However, we highly value our users' feedback & opinion, therefore we reviewed and improved all our documentation. We hope we will be able to turn your experience & review into positive, in near future.

When I logged in the site and try to down the free version for a try(there are 3 kind, free version & 2 get paid version), but when u click the "Download" button, it's just lead u go to another "Log Out" page, and I posted my situation in their support forum 1 month ago, but absolutely no answer at all??!! very disappointing!!
Owner's reply

Hi there, we are sorry to hear about your negative experience.

The issue most likely was caused by a browser that caches 301 http redirect statuses (or a proxy between your computer and our server, with the same behavior). We included several additional http headers to prevent caching, hope that will fix your and similar problems in future.

We hope this will help and be able to turn your experience into positive.

I was asked to make a mobile version of a joomla site and didn't know where to start. I installed this extension and found it very easy to implement and use to create a working mobile version of my website. Thank you!

Ive been using MobileJoomla on a Joomla 1.5 since their public beta. It has grown into an impressive tool and I strongly recommend it to anyone. As with any quality extension, if you want support you should buy a subscription. If you use any other 3rd party extensions, you will probably need tech support.

The users of my site are mostly mobile. A stable mobile component was not optional. MobileJoomla has been a dependable solution.

It does an excellent job of displaying a specific template for a specific type of mobile device. If you use a quality mobile template, you can get very good results.
Unless you buy the Pro version, expect an increae in the size of your database. Know the limits of your shared hosting plan.
It works well with K2 and Kunena. I'm sure there are other extensions it works well with, these are just two it does excecptionally well.
It can be tricky to configure. Read all the instructions. Read the forums. BACKUP before you install and backup again as you change settings.
Support for the free version is decent. Support for the Pro version is excellent.
If you do not understand Joomla's temnplate overrides, you might find it difficult to get good results at first. Learn how to use template overrides and you can build a blazing fast, beautiful mobile site.

This component isn't for the Joomla newbie. But if you have a simple site, backup first and give it a try.

I started more than year ago with GOOD working version. Later were two upgrades - and now there are ERRORS ERRORS ERRORS.
After I succeeded in resolving conflict in database, discovered, that TeraWurfl application (supporting Mobile Joomla) IS NOT CONFIGURED PROPERLY, tried almost everything - still end up with errors.
If you have access to first version - ok, go for it. For now I strongly discourage using such poor in quality solution - you will have errors even on your laptop/PC when displaying (sic!)
Owner's reply

Thanks for trying our product, we are sorry to hear you were not able to utilize it for your needs.

Mobile Joomla! is improved and evolved significantly during the years. Problems updating might could have been avoided with regular updates (as recommended), since each update has a relation to the previous. Your problems regarding Terwurfl might be due to this reason, since Mobile Joomla! does not use Terwurfl as device detection anymore.

Mobile Joomla! has no effect displaying on laptop/PC, which strongly indicates the errors you get might be due to your Joomla! setup, related to other 3rd party extensions.

We are sorry to see you are discouraging others to use our product. We do our best to help our users to solve their problems on our forums. You are always welcome there if you'd like to solve yours.

Major thumbs-up to the devs on this one. One of the best extensions I have downloaded over the years. It worked straight out of the box, so easy to configure and works a charm. Also lets me disable ads and copyright info without any fuss.

Professional, sleek and (still can't believe it) completely FREE!
