* What is MQTT? *
MQTT stands for MQ Telemetry Transport. It is a publish/subscribe, extremely simple and lightweight messaging protocol, designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency or unreliable networks. The design principles are to minimise network bandwidth and device resource requirements whilst also attempting to ensure reliability and some degree of assurance of delivery. These principles also turn out to make the protocol ideal of the emerging “machine-to-machine” (M2M) or “Internet of Things” world of connected devices, and for mobile applications where bandwidth and battery power are at a premium.
MQTT, short for Message Queue Telemetry Transport, is a light weight messaging protocol that enables embedded devices with limited resources to perform asynchronous communication on a constrained network.
MQTT protocol is based on publish/subscribe pattern so that a client can subscribe to one or more topics and receive messages that other clients publish on these topics.

Latest reviews of MQTT Tester / Client app for iPhone and iPad
Input fields overlaping each other. But the worst is that keyboard is on top of the "console".
The publish button is not operative.
This app is barely functional. I was able to get a connection but you have so little control over how the output is displayed that it makes the app practically useless.
This was the second app I purchased because the first continually crashed. This is a simple test client, it allows you to connect to a broker, has username/password support. And lets you set vibration / audible/ animations when messages arrive. You can also post. For what it wants to be, it does just fine. I was surprised there were no free alternatives... But I have no complaints about this one.
