IM+ Instant Messenger for Positive User Reviews
✓ Fantastic App...and free!This App is fantastic. All I could ask for is Emoticon support. Apart from that, it's fast, it works...love it..Version: 0
✓ Excellent appThe latest version nicely fixed the problem with keyboard when switching between different languages. However occasionally I may have trouble signing in MSN or Yahoo through IM+ while some of my other apps work fine. (There's always one or two of these apps not functioning properly, and I have to have several backups in my iPad all the time so that I don't get completely disconnected.) I noticed that this trouble occurs mostly when I'm traveling to china. Could be their problem. I'm not sure. And... I found that commercials pop up automatically like every 10 sec when I was visiting Taipei several weeks ago. (By 10 sec I'm not exaggerating.) My IM+ returned normal once I returned to US. Despite these two rather minor problems, IM+ is still one of the best instant messaging apps I've got. It's free and most of the time it works properly..Version: 5.3
✓ Pretty good apppNot bad, a few minor issues but it's free and does communicate with all the advertised im systems.Version: 0
✓ It works!!!This is actually good, no need to sign up on some websites. I'm using Y! and MSN and they're doing good. This app doesn't offer much of the features unlike the rest but it's simplicity made it somewhat flawless with bugs (I hope) I haven't encountered any problems at all. It shows offline contacts, edit your status and also once you log out, then someone sends you an offline message, if you log back in you'll receive that offline message (since push is still not released by Apple). It has a simple user interface but so far it's working properly - and that's what I need. Hopefully they will update this app to add more features, but hey it's free and working so go get it! UPDATE: 8/28 I found a bug, somehow it doesn't accept emoticons, if you try to send one to your contact, you'll get signed off (and an error message shows up). You have to go back to your status and click Online again to sign back online. When your contact sends you an emoticon, it just displays plain text. So hopefully they'll fix this....Version: 0
✓ Very functional and easy to useThis program is great for combining all of your messaging services ( AIM, Facebook, MSN, Yahoo) into one and allowing you to connect with all those users at once. It is very easy to setup and use with no extra clutter and hassle. The only negative thing I will say is that even after I turned off push messages, I would still receive them which wouldn't be necessarily bad except I would get two for each, one for this and one for Facebook, etc.. So besides that little glitch this is an excellent all in one IM service that is free and I would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to combine all there services into one easy to use very functional and productive program..Version: 5.6
✓ A+A+ would love more font options.Version: 0
✓ The only Instant Messaging that actually works...Mobile Chat is a complete bust (waisted my money, lesson learned)! AIM, stopped being able to connect (its free, so no big loss there). I use Instant Messaging to check in with coworkers, and "IM+" is the only one that connects instantly without any issues, so far it has not let me down. It actually is a good IM, the only problem I see is the handling of multiple accounts on the buddylist (that can get frustrating if you have a lot of people and account online, because they will all be on one list. That aside, I give 5 stars for functioning, being dependable, and fast (I tested it with friends, and the messages go instantly no delays whatsoever, I was amazed). No I only wish it could somehow keep you logged in when you leave the app..Version: 0
✓ NudgeDoes this thing have nudge? Coz otherwise it is ok, I wish thr chat history would stay on forever though, it only keeps so much, I have to use real messenger for that :( which is rubbish on 2x on iPad 2 :/. The app is really professional looking, and I love the layout, I recommended it to a friend who now uses it on his iPad, because on messenger if he left to switch apps he had to log in all over again , and this keeps you on for so long ( provided u don't forget to log out which I do - could do with a timer thing ) Thanks you IM people, shame the Im+ pro is too expensive, I cbb to pay 7.00.Version: 6.5
✓ Very goodGood good. But still need more improvement . Crash some times.Version: 4.8
✓ This app is trully amazing.Read the title..Version: 0
✓ Excellent App!! Functions as specified with low battery utilization on the NEW iPhone 3GSThis application seems to be one of the best, if not the best IM clients I've used so far. It works great on the new 3GS and utilizes a low percentage of the battery throughout my nine hour online. Totally recommend it..Version: 0
✓ Great appGreat app, would like to be able to view the email address of conacts though...maybe in an update soon? Would love to upgrade to the full version but can't... Is it iPhone only?.Version: 0
✓ The neighborWhere is The neighbor??.Version: 10.0.2
✓ Lol--absolutely *everyone* hates spamming their friends. everyone.So i decided to try this out, tho i'm perfectly happy with textplus (real texting, for free, no spam) and ebuddy (ditto, works great). i'm very visual, and i use twitter a lot and this app adds a twitter client and has lovely wallpaper plus you can add your own plus you can get email notifies, which i like because i'm often in my email. so overall, i like it. mine said it sends out *one* spam a day, the first msg you send. i sent one, yep, spam. i sent a second, yep, no spam. so i'm gonna stick with im+ for what it does and how it looks (assuming it keeps working smoothly, sometimes a problem with apps i've gotten). but i notice that THE IM SPAM IS WILDLY UNPOPULAR and NOW PPL GIVE THIS APP 1 STAR. i cap that in case the shap ppl skim the reviews quickly, to catch their eye. wonder if they'll drop the spam on the next update? but i gave 4 stars (-1 for the spam) because it was just one spam and everything works, inclu (for me at least) the browser..Version: 0
✓ It's great!This app is pretty good, the only problem is I don't think that you can delete some of your contacts. Some people have said that sometimes your contacts don't show up but I think that it's because no one is online and the setting is set to an option that doesn't allow you to view offline contacts, so that could be it. Over all, it is a good idea to download this app! ^_^.Version: 0
✓ GoodGood but disconnects often.Version: 6.2
✓ Best of them all!I tried quite a few of the IM apps to use with GTalk that we use exclusively at my employment. This one was the only one to work flawless. Very rarely there is a slight lag, but one of the other apps showed me I was online but took my offline all day on both the laptop and phone! This never does that. Also, the other app I paid for, but it wouldn't send the banners are alerts at all. This one does it perfectly! Unlike that other app it does not set off the Google Alert of Suspicious log in attempt! Good job on this app! Back to loving my freedom away from the laptop again!!!.Version: 7.9
✓ Good but still buggyThis is the best app if your using msn Pros: widescreen kb(very important to me) Large clear text and speedy swap Can read history of chat (unlike meebo) Cons: still buggy even after upgrade like it won't connect until u open safari and browse for couple secs than reopen I mean come on thats realy annoying, also doesn't show pic of msn user like meebo I still prefer it over meebo cuz more reliable but can't an app out there do all the positives!!!! Thats why 4 stars (they need to let us give half stars too).Version: 0
✓ My reviewVery good indeed, a must have for those wanting to chat on the go! I gave the ap four stars in all, the reason I didn't give it five stars was because there were constant pop up alerts which did make the ap, less than what it was, if this problem is sorted out, then I will be more than happy to come back and leave a second review with a rating of five stars. Best wishes, Jacobthomaswood..Version: 0
✓ Works wellWorks like expected and is reliable and stable.Version: 8.1.1
✓ Finally a useable multi-IM client!IM+ successfully allows me to chat with my contacts on MSN, Yahoo, GoogleTalk, and AIM/iChat. It works well enough to get by, and it seems to be connecting directly to the servers rather than an IM+ server (which is a plus). Of course, like all applications, it does not run in the background, but that is to be expected. I look forward to future upgrades with support for other chats and feature upgrades. It would be nice to be able to group my various chat servers' contacts together too, rather than have them all together. Great version 1.0, and I can't wait to see it get even better!.Version: 0
✓ Fantastic App...and free!This App is fantastic. All I could ask for is Emoticon support. Apart from that, it's fast, it works...love it..Version: 0
✓ Great appGood how you can use all of the popular social network apps and chats together.. Especially good with facebook!.. Should make it so that you can use the 'busy' status you get on live messenger though! :) also.. Need to fix the bug that crashes it on iPod touch 2nd gen with ios3 when you click on veiw on another app then write something and close it and open the app itself.. It crashes!.Version: 0
✓ Ideas =DAwesome app =D However, it would be nice if there was some indicator showing you when you get a new message what covo its from. Like, when you have multiple pages there are dots above the keyboard representing each page? What about the convo that gets a new msg has the dot change to a different colour or something?? Just something small, but it would make it much easier then scrolling through 15 convos to try find whos replying lol. And it would be nice for it to resemble MSN a bit more and be able to change your msn picture and personal message =) Love this app tho!!.Version: 0
✓ Super ApplicationGreat application works always, but *$8 is too high for full version - lower the price to $5 or $3 for a few days and see what happens - you will get more good reviews and then more customers and reach 4 star rating. 4 star ratings stand out and get customers *Need setting to change background colors in chat - best would be A)default and B)username assignable *Even in Portrait mode, if I hold iPhone upside down, it rotates screen in IM+ to upside down so then I have to view the IM window upside down for a minute to get it to flip to normal. There should be a setting for "Never Flip" for people who are walking and putting into pocket while waiting for reply. *Gmail identified me as "me" in the chat, your app uses "you" text. You should be consistent .Version: 0
✓ The only one that has worked.This is the 3rd app I have tried. The others were fring, which is naff, and the other was palringo I think... That also didn't work. This one however is great. I was able to get on to msn really quickly. But... Can you get pictures on this? I'm not sure they work, so pictures would be nice. But I don't know if it does do them I just don't think so, that's why it's still 5 stars. And what is the deal with that person... Neonblack or something? Why do you need to add them at the start? Otherwise, this is a great app. :).Version: 0
✓ Solid first releasePretty good. It's free and better than the paid options. A few UI items could fit better with the iPhone but I really feel that it's not something to complain about..Version: 0
✓ ImpressiveA bit buggy, but we've all come to expect that of the app store, what with the challenges developers face trying to beta test apps as well as they can on more traditional platforms. However, it's free (which is a huge plus), doesn't require a new account sign up (like certain other IM apps on the store), and did I mention it's free (unlike certain other IM apps on the store). The interface is nicely minimalistic, uses all the standard idioms that we've come to expect: sideways-swipe to delete, edit button in the toolbar to add. The app does a great job of managing contacts across the multiple accounts you may have. Frankly, I don't care which account a particular contact is from, I just want to see them all aggregated in the same place, which is exactly how the developers of this app decided to go about things. All in all, a very impressive first effort, and if (when!) the app gets a bit more polish and a few important bug fixes (the crashing is just no bueno), I'll be back to give it five stars, no doubt..Version: 0
✓ Was going to jump ship to IM+...Bought IM+ Pro yonks back but decided to use Beejive instead. Now that it's gone all hideous, I find that IM+P has been superseded by an ad supported version. Lame! Only from inside here do you find out about IM+ Pro7 which I suppose is reasonable to charge users again for a huge overhaul, but the cost for someone who has previously purchased the app leaves a bitter taste. I guess I'm feeling the white mans entitlement privilege. Four stars because I know I'm being a touch unreasonable..Version: 8.1
✓ For Google Talk - The Best by FarLots of google talk apps try to cover all google apps which I didn't want, I just wanted to use with google talk and nothing else. This is by far the most reliable, it also has without doubt the best features, and is very easy to use. It also works in the background when the app isn't on and notifies you of any messages. 10 out of 10.Version: 6.2
✓ One thing...Okay, now although I'm only using the lite version, I have used the full version, and the comm t I would like to make applies to both. IM+ is a great multi-social networking app. I use it for everything, and since I don't have skype, the lite version is just fine for me. Theres only one thing I would change. I think this app would be so much better if you could swipe inbetween accounts, more like TweetDeck, but then not as broken down. For instence, a page for all inbox, a page for Twitter, a page for facebook online friends, and a page for AIM online friends, and so on and so forth. I run five accounts from this app, so having to scroll through a jumble list of contacts to find the right one gets annoying. Otherwise, great app..Version: 0
✓ Great App! Please add tabs or reordering for active conversation buddies.I think IM+ is one of the best apps for instant messaging today. However, when you receive a tweet, and then you want to go back to talk to your friend on google talk, then back to Facebook for another update that someone sent, that is a nightmare. It seems that despite the easy swipe to switch those text accounts like MSN, ICQ, GTalk, etc have just a window for each buddy conversation, but Facebook and Twiter have different "sets" of windows, and that makes it complicated. The Inbox does that well for IMs, but tweets really messes it up. So, here is the suggestion: - an option to move contacts to the top when you have an active conversation - add tabs so you could quickly switch between twitter, Facebook, chats with your friends. Come on now, the icon plus the first 5 or 6 letters on tabs would definitely do it, and these tabs could be right where the black line on top is, where the notifications show up, and those buttons could be moved down left so no room would be lost in the chat window. Anyway, thanks for the great app, I hope you guys get it even better! =).Version: 5.4
✓ Works well!As an man user it works great! No you can't change your msn name or have it running in the background, but meets all realistic expectations. I love it :).Version: 0
✓ Exactly what I wanted7.7 update: I've had no crashing problems. Ads are still large for the free version, but are not in the way as much (Not enough to drop my review below 5, for sure). Original review: After a (very) little bit of research, it seemed that the only way to gchat was through a 3rd party program. I was bummed at first, but IM+ works beautifully. It alerts me like text messages, it's easy to change my availability, navigate through contacts and conversions... Everything I need. I basically only use google's messaging (had Facebook, too many incoming messages) yet I'm considering buying the pro version just because I like this app so much..Version: 7.7
✓ A simple IM applicationI think this is a reasonable first try for a simple multi protocol IM client. I like the interface better than Palringo, and I like the fact that it connects directly with the IM servers rather than going through it's own server first. There are no accounts to sign up for, just enter your IM accounts and you are ready to go. I did notice that it crashed once since I started using it, but I have only used it for one day so it is hard to comment on the overall stability. Also, it logs you off if the iPhone goes to sleep while using the app which is less than ideal behavior. Hopefully the author will update this app and fix its shortcomings, but it is at least usable and seems to work well..Version: 0
✓ RequirementIt's an awesome app for MSN and I enjoy using it but I'm wondering why the app doesn't receive pictures or videos ? Thank you..Version: 5.6
✓ My favourite Instant messagingWorks great for me and I use MSN :) Use it all the time - thanks =).Version: 0
✓ Good appGood app, be good to have Skype chat too, also be nice to be able put my own backgrounds. More settings to control contact groups..Version: 5.3
✓ Very good IM app.It's the only IM app that I've tried that has landscape mode which makes typing easier. One thing that is badly missing is sound alerts when messages come in. Another thing is that when you're using more than one service at a time it is hard to tell which service those buddies are on because they all use the same icon next to their name. Other IM apps will show either a Yahoo, AIM or MSN icon next to each buddy to let you know which service they're on. To go around this limitation I use only one service at a time. Other than that, this is my preferred IM app due to it having landscape mode..Version: 0
✓ Stop experimenting3.5 brought back auto correct, something thar was taken out by the last patch, they have added emoji, not much point but okay. 3.5 seems to have removed the minor annoyances and added some stuff which never should have gone. However these have been replaced with the single most annoying thing ever - location services. Version 3.5 sets them as a necessity. Everytime you change conversation window there is a pop up, everytime you go to contact list there is a pop up. This is highly irritating and the only way to disable this is to enable location services. Seems simple but when an app, such as this, is already a major battery hog, you don't want it draining it even quicker, secondly if you live somewhere remote like I do (the isle of man) location services never work so there is completely no point. Please devs, if this is some attempt to make us buy the full version it ain't working and if the next update brings and other annoyances (auto correction removal wouldn't be a surprise) then this app will be the single worst updated app I have ever experienced. This app has great potential, it's just a shame that the devs appear to have no Idea what they are doing..Version: 0
✓ ExcellentPretty good! Does everything you want it to do n all messengers in one..Version: 4.8
✓ IM + lite = best messengerEven better got the full update and none of us have to spend/waste 9.99$, my number 1 app by far. Thanks again for that update!.Version: 0
✓ Not badBetter than Parlingo in that you don't need to create an account and disclose your login details to a 3rd path however it either takes ages to login or the connection is hit & miss (even over wifi) Would have been nice to be able to edit an existing service (such as a password change) rather than have to recreate the whole thing Those reporting lost connection when another app is in the foreground need to be aware this is a limitation of the device not the app.Version: 0
✓ It's possessed!Like others, I am having trouble with facebook connecting properly. It will show me contacts that aren't online or it won't show me anyone at all. Also sometimes when I turn push off or even supposedly disconnect it continues to send me messages from people which is annoying and spammy. I logged onto fb on my computer so I tried to log out on my phone (don't need to be getting the same messages in 2 diff places) but it kept sending for hours!!! It was distressing. I even DELETED the facebook profile from the program and it still kept going! What!.Version: 0
✓ GoodGood app, does what it says apart from push notifications. You should be able to set where you are for the neighbours. Eg, I'm in Australia and all I see is Australians and a few Asians countries. I want to be able to select I'm in Dublin for example and chat to those fellas since I'm from there..Version: 5.1
✓ I would give it100millon*This is my favorite app for my iPhone! I notice when I'm at work(hairdresser) that this app is open all day! It's great I don't have to be logged into myspace on a laptop to chat! The facebook was great after I figured it out there was a probelem my friends told me it did the same thing to them but it told me to log in on my desktop so I did nd it had this weird thing hard to explain somthing about restoring my account, it gives u a location and what they r doing. Turns out I was about to get hacked for giving this app my info I'm from the USA and someone was trying to log in from Germany, I immediatly got on my iphone and reset my app, logged in on the desktop and thank god! It sent it right in time! Now my app works great and I can chat all day! Overall this is a great app ad I would reccomend it! If you are one of those ppl with 90millon network accounts like me this is a great app to manage them all on! And it's free! It also has a web browser on it!!!.Version: 0
✓ Check plusHonestly, all I want was a form of AIM on my iPad, and this does exactly that. I don't really care about specific statuses and such because this isn't a main computer, it is a mobile/travel device. It allows you to talk with your friends on/through AIM, and, if you want to, you can even connect your Twitter, Facebook, yahoo, etc. etc. accounts. Despite what other people have said, you actually CAN log out of it if you want to - you simply select the profile icon in the top right corner, and turn off the account when you don't want it used. Whenever you get a new message, there is a convenient orange notification bubble at the top of the screen. For a version of AIM meant for a mobile device, this is a really efficient and great app, and I definitely suggest downloading it!.Version: 0
✓ Very niceFor the most part, I'm lovin' this app. Everything works very smoothly, and it provides a condensed app to connect with my yahoo, gtalk and facebook chat environments. The only qualm I have with this app (and the reason it got four stars) is - when I'm in another app browsing the web or checking email, and I receive a message, I switch over to the app with my handy little multitasking bar...and I have to wait a good 10-20 seconds for the message to show up. It says some message down at the bottom about "connecting" for a considerable amount of time, while i sit and wait for my message to pop up. While not a problem for mild chatting, it becomes more of an issue when holding a drawn out conversation and browsing the web at the same time. So if they improve the multitasking a bit - this is easily a five-star app..Version: 4.8
✓ Easy to useI've been using it for months and it works reliably. Great to be able to send photos and links. Nice background choices, chat alerts and can open links from within chats..Version: 6.4.2
✓ GreatGreat app. Awesome way of chatting to people across all my different IM accounts. Well worth the download.Version: 5.4
✓ Good app - but what about display names?First of all this is a great app, but two problems - 1) You can't change your display name, it also takes a display name from your account from a long time ago, i'm stuck with a rather embarissing one from ages ago! 2) There ia the connecting problem, but if you go to the settings and turn your account off wait a few seconds and turn it on again it should be fine and work But sort the display names out for 5 stars!!!.Version: 0
✓ I like it alotVery good.Version: 5.3
✓ IM+This is my favourite instant messenger (IM) as it is quick logging in and didn't really have any problems I.e. Bugs. So I recommend this to any one plus this has bigger type font than the rest i think so it's better for people with bad eye sight but then again they should have glases or sumin if not why have an iPod touch it's tiny should get iPad. Why am I still typing dam goodby I'm leaving know..Version: 0
✓ GoodI really like it except the new smiley faces added to it on the right. I use this msn for people who r on a pc or laptop as they don't have iPhones or iPods so it's a bit useless for me cuz thy see these emoticons as a black dot. Also sometime it takes ages and ages to log on. Also it keeps askin for my Current location over an over again when I hace told it no. Other than that it's great.Version: 0
✓ Ok, but needs to be better and more presiceWhen i first downloaded it to my iPod Touch with the 2.1 software it did not work... It went into it then automaticly went out again... Then I tried to restore my iPod but that didn't work either... but now it does and its not too bad..Version: 0
✓ Really Good :)Really like this app, it's really useful if you want to talk quickly on iPhone for free, and it's really user friendly! :) but I agree with the comments below regarding display picture, and the random crashes (though infrequent) can be really annoying :(. Just one thing id like to ask, doe it charge to use IM+ MSN abroad, and if so how much roughly per message? ive already searched the web, but found nothing, so i wondered if anyone could tell me from experience. many thanks and keep up the good work :).Version: 0
✓ Quite good but can't turn off soundThis application is quite well down. The support for protocols is great, the interface is intuitive, and you even get to have it stay online for you for a specified period of time so you can then read the messages people left afterwards. Apart from the fairly noticeable ad at the top which especially becomes a bother in "portrait" mode, the application doesn't feel slimmed down in any way otherwise. The only real drawback, and perhaps only on my phone, is the fact that I can't seem to turn the sound off! I set the switch to off in the settings, go back, then into the settings again, and the switch sets itself back to on right before my eyes. I've adapted to it a bit now but turning the ringer sound up and down can be quite a bother when trying to juggle calling, typing SMS, and riding on an overfilled subway car..Version: 0
✓ Well....It might be a bit but It would me good if you can youse a picture from your phone as your display picture. Also type ur personal message. And more options like busy brb ect. Thanks heaps love it.Version: 0
✓ Amazing app!Ok I am going to be upfront and honest. This app rox! It is a great thing to have because you don't have to sit at a desk to communicate friends.... It is easy to use and basically the same as Messenger Mac. Just buy it.... I can't believe it is for free because I would pay $10 for it. So what are you waiting for, BUY IT!.Version: 0
✓ Gotta Love That!Love this app! East to use and it gets the job done quickly cause it has a very fast loading time compared to other apps like myspace (which takes forever to load!) When I first got this app it quited out of the app, a new update came out so thanks for the help! I'd definately recommend getting this FREE app!.Version: 0
✓ Great app. And it's free! Simple and works like a charmAwesome.Version: 0
✓ Regarding fb...Great app for chatting, but there's something a bit off with fb chat... Works fine once you've logged in, but it still keeps logged in after you've quit the app. A lot of times people kept chatting to me after I logged off because they didn't realise I had gone. Quite annoying..Version: 4.7
✓ Great!!! buy it nowwwwww I am 11 and I had ebuddy before but this one is so so so so so so much better because with ebuddy you come with a pic that stays if you don't buy the good one! Is a bit slow starting up and also I would want it able to stay on all day insted of 2 hours. I would buy the free one cos the other one is a rip off 6 quid such a rip off and all the change is no ads but ads are ok..Version: 0
✓ Loved it!!Great app, I'm not going to buy full version because the lite has all the stuff I need! Just need to get rid of the adds at the top and maybe be able to toggle dictionary because I liked dictionary but now it's gone..Version: 0
✓ Nice integration of servicesLove the look and design of this app.Version: 0
✓ Very well done..But like it has been said before, always room for improvement! Would be nice if you didn't have to sign in all the time especially if you just need to reply to a text or such.. Thanks for making it free!!.Version: 0
✓ SoundThis is overall the best instant messaging service for the iphone. But there is a problem, there is a choice of turning the soind off, this worked, but ever since the new 3.0 update was released everytime i turn the sound off it automatically turns itself back on. It is incredibly annoying and seriously needs looking into. please may someone help me,this is my favourite app, and i would love it to stay this way thankyou very much. x x.Version: 0
✓ GoodNo need to sign up.Version: 5.7
✓ Pretty good Ehhhhhh, this thing's pretty good...it's WAAAAAAAAAAAY faster and more stable than AIM app, yet this one crashes sometimes also, especially when using the built-in browser...I love how there's no lag on here, unlike the AIM app, whose constant freezes and crashes made it practically unusable...now I can finally be able to talk with buddies who IM a lot without much fear of the app crashing on me...this thing disconnects me constantly, but as long as I'm able to have a fairly stable and fast conversation with someone, then this app is worth it...I don't even use the regular AIM app anymore now that I have this installed...I might as well just delete that sorry excuse of an app...I give IM+ .Version: 0
✓ Great Interface but...This messaging app has a brilliant interface and is great to use... When it doesn't close randomly! Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem on the iPad 1st gen? I am giving it 4 stars as it would be a great little instant messaging app so long as it didn't close so frequently! Have had to move to imo. For the time being, if this is a common problem for people could you please sort it dev team? Thanks for such a good app never-the-less :).Version: 5.1
✓ HmmmmmmmOnly one hour of push notifications makes this app lose two stars. Would prefer and recommend this app to no one but I would recommend the yahoo messenger app since this is pfffft..Version: 0
✓ Pretty goodThis is a great app. It's quick to load and use and if u dun wanna buy, the free versions just as good. The problem bout this is that it crashes a bit.. Also I've noticed that while appearing offline, the message receiving is much slower than when you appear online.>.< please fix this. Overall a worthy application. Good job!.Version: 0
✓ Only option on the iPad at the momentOn the iPad it looks great and works very well. I love the layout in landscape mode with the contacts window on the left. It makes chatting to multiple people very quick and easy. I have however noticed some problems. I have been told by friends that I show up as offline. I've tried logging out and back in. Not sure if this is every time though. It has also crashed in me a few times. Not sure if this is because I am listening to music at the same time. They do however have a window pop up when you open the app again to log the incident so maybe this will get sorted. One last problem is that the push notification seems very delayed and spotty. I've sometimes not got a message until I open the app back up around an hr later. Since there is nothing to compare it to at the moment it gets 4 stars for ease of use, look and feel. It's also the lite (free) version I'm using. If the above issues are sorted I'd have no problems paying for it... Or when iPad gets the os4 update and does multitasking. Guess we'll have to see how Shape updates IM+ when that happens. Its free so not too much of a problem with me..Version: 0
✓ Where's the Skype?Great for Facebook Chat, MSN and Google Chat all in one place. However I really wanted Skype Chat in there as well, but never found an option for adding it, despite the description mentioning that you can. If I could have Skype Chat activated I would probably make it 5 stars, as it means I can chat with every single contact I have, regardless of which client they use, in the same app..Version: 5.4
✓ Well thought outThis application is both well thought out and structured. It has a nice web browser inbuilt so that you are able to check links without leaving the program.Version: 5.2
✓ Pretty goodPretty good free IM client for the iPad, although on 4.2.1 (not sure whether it did this in previous versions of iOS), it doesn't show the latest message in a conversation when you're replying. Hopefully the developer(s) will fix that for us in an update? It also seems to crash quite a bit (in 4.2.1 - again, not sure about previous versions of iOS), but again, I'm sure it will be fixed in future versions. Apart from that, it's a solid free IM client for the iPad..Version: 0
✓ Mean asThis app is mean as bro..Version: 0
✓ Very good indeed!Pretty good, I can see all of my online friends at once..Version: 5.3
✓ Slow to login, but stableGood spattering of features (multiple IM services, single sign in, etc.), the session timeouts of the free version are a little annoying, but that's the point of having a paid version, I suppose. It's a little slow to log in, and that's my biggest complaint. It's not terrible, but could use some improvement, particularly on resuming a session after sleeping and the initial login. It's a quality program, but could use some polishing. It's very stable and have been using it for over 6 months on my iPad. Have yet to see it crash or error out, even when carrying on multiple conversation threads..Version: 4.7
✓ AwesomeThis is the 1st app I've rated as it is one of the few that deserve a positive rating. Works perfectly with my Facebook, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live/MSN Messenger, GTalk etc. I am no longer glued to my computer whilst using IMs. I've tried other mobile IM apps but none compare to IM+. I have already spread the word to my friends and they are now using it too..Version: 6.1
✓ Full paid version is worth it!The best IM app! The push on the full paid version works great. The paid version is worth the money. NZ..Version: 0
✓ The CliqueI actually came to know about this through a movie called 'The Clique' and an very surprised based on its ratings. It's really helped me interact and is far less complicated than Facebook etc. highly recommended.Version: 8.2
✓ GdGd.Version: 7.0
✓ So much betterThis app has improved so much. I used to use the net browser over this. But this is much better after the update. The only problem is, does it have autocorrect text or is it just not working on my phone..Version: 0
✓ Free Picture MessagingFree Picture Messaging! yes thats right with the new update this now supports picture messaging! Its brilliant take a picture then hit send and it uploads the picture to a website and sends the link to the contact! Only downside is when you send pictures the app is VERY fragile dont go too quick or interupt the process or a crash is likly. But this app helps me keep in touch with my freinds and its fantastic don't get the Lite its worth the money for the full version..Version: 0
✓ Great but ...This is an absolutely fabbity fabb app, but why can't you let us be able to tlk to our mates on facebook as well? I personally don't think many people will want to pay £5.99 just to be able to use their facebook account on this fabb app. I think u should let us have that option on the lite version, but just not be able to do everything that we would be able to do on the pay version. Its either that, or you bring the cost down a little, say; £1.19 max. Cmon, plz do it. I gurantee youll suffer in buisness if u dont put the price down. But, this is still a great app. Just not as good as it COULD be!!!.Version: 0
✓ Amazingg ;]Well .. i love this app ! It's amazing,except i wish you could change your screen name on it. i prefer it too ebudddy, which i couldnt seem to work! this one is much easier, and you can see display pictures. it's so fast. ive been on it all day, as i only got my itouch this morning. amazing app 5 stars but needs to be able to change screen name!! i only use it for messengerr. x.Version: 0
✓ Good but get your priorities rightIt's a very good app, best of it's kind but it would be nice if the developer spent less time on gimicky cosmetic upgrades and more on making sure it doesn't crash 1/4 of the times you turn it on, as mine does. Also, an option to revert to the old chatroom view with the bubbles in different colours would be nice, either that or add it to the current chat view. With the new update, chats sometimes look confusing because all the bubbles are the same colour. Still, a very good app, a few more updates and it'd be perfect..Version: 0
✓ Thanks to the developersWhat I can say about it..I wish I can give 7 star to it. Fantastic, it's a life saving application for me because I was looking for something like it for long time so I can contact with my families back home. The chat interface is the main speciality. As a software analyst I find only few bugs which is so resonable and hope developers will give solve it in next version. Thanks to the developers team again..Version: 0
✓ Awesome and then some!IM+ is very straightforward and easy to use. On top of that, there is an in-app browser that allows you to go to webpages that you've been linked to in the conversations or just for surfing the web while you wait for your friends to reply, which is what a lot of people do on their regular desktop computer. There is no need to go back and forth between IM+ and safari. I love this feature..Version: 5.4
✓ All in oneI like this app. You have all the different messengers in one inc Facebook and Twitter. It is easy to use and if you want emoticons there all there. The one thing it doesn't have is QQ which I would like to see included..Version: 0
✓ Awesome App, one problem....This app has to be one of my most used. The one thing I don't like is how it exits everytime I go to the home screen. This is obviously apples fault for not enabling 3rd party apps to minimize. Apart from that this app is great! 5 stars!!.Version: 0
✓ Brilliant...Ive tried many... Individual messengers, IMO, ebuddy lite and pro but this one is far superior! Quick, efficient, easy navigation, multiple accounts, no issues, no need to create a user and customisable to a great level for a free app. I won't use any other (unless for a VoIP call as I'm still working out if it's possible). the push notifications are spot on and great choice of sound alerts! You won't be sorry! .Version: 5.2
✓ AwesomeThis is a very useful and FAST app. I have no problems with it at all besides a few accelerometer bugs. The best part is that you can share pictures and even send voice recordings while using it. Don't believe those who say that you can't post your own status messages-You just have to click edit at the top of the status screen (for AIM anyway). The only problems I have are the inability to change your icon and the interface is tough to deal with. The browser makes up for it. A BROWSER! Very good app and free too..Version: 0
✓ MAN messengerNot bad as an msn messenger. Didnt have any problems. Wish able to add emoticons. :).Version: 0
✓ ExcellentThis messenger has everything I need to connect multiple accounts including facebook which everyone knows that facebook is very popular these days, it also connects other accounts such as msn, yahoo, google talk, jabber, I think thats it, but still for a free app, it's quite awesome, one disadvantage is that it has an advertisement on the bottom, but iPad users will get through that easier since it is more annoying on the iPod touch then on the iPad, great app!!!!!.Version: 6.2
✓ Wow!J'adore littéralement! :D la premiere app gratuite sur Iphone qui rèpond réellement a mes besoins! Je recommande fortement!.Version: 7.2
✓ Great!!So far this is the best IM app I've come across on the app store. Customizable as well, you can change the background which I was really thrilled about. I've been using IM+ for over a year and just recently it started having issues sending pictures. They will just "send" forever. I can't cancel them either, even though I tap the X button. I hope this gets fixed, as what I really like about IM+ is when you send pictures to people, it provides a clickable link for them which makes it easy for me to get pictures onto my computer (instead of emailing them to myself, downloading the picture, etc.) I've uninstalled this app and intend to reinstall it when I am done with this review, I hope this will fix the picture transfer issue. Otherwise, great app, and I would highly recommend to others!.Version: 6.5
✓ Great app!Very quick to install and easy to use, could do with showing peoples email addresses instead of personal messages as it is hard to tell who is who. I considered going for palringo but after hearing about having to create an account I was completely put off! They dont make money from the account you have to make so the only reason they must want you to make one is to use your details. This app on the other hand is free and quick to log in. Thanks.Version: 0
✓ Good appWorks fine! Just need offline messaging. .Version: 0
✓ Simple and clean.Nice to look at and simple to use. It could use a picture option..Version: 0
✓ Good free IMI've just switched over to IM+ lite v2 and so far the experience has been great. I was using fring for gtalk and msn but while the app itself did was it supposed to do the adverts annoyed the he'll out of me. I know the upgrade now in IM+ is there but it doesn't bother me as much as the fring adverts. Anyway, the smoother/nicer interface of IM+ lite is a welcoming change for me. I've tried palringo and fring, but IM+ definitely looks and feels the best. It works and the app itself doesn't feel so clunky unlike others. No performance issues from my end either, I use this for gtalk and msn. I'll be waiting out for any solutions over devs out there after OS3 comes out to the public an will be committing to the one that offers the best features..Version: 0
✓ Good appA must download.Version: 7.6.1
✓ Better than ebuddyI used ebuddy for a while and switched out of interest when a friend was using it, and although it's not nuchbetter, it is better. It keeps a display pic from your msn account and doesn't give a generic picture like ebuddy, and is somehow shinier and nicer to use. It takes a little longer to connect than ebuddy but no really noticeable difference. It seems a waste to leave my ebuddy account lying around in the Internet somewhere but I'm quite content using Im+ instead..Version: 0
✓ Brilliant but.....This is a brilliant app. But annoying that you can only use it in portait position... Maybe in the next update you could make it go in landscape so the keys are bigger.... 4 star after update 5 star.Version: 0
✓ Some nice featuresOf the messenger apps I've used, I would say this is the one I like the look of the most. On the plus side I like the fresh look and feel. It's a breath of fresh air compared to the usually plain incoming/outgoing message areas of other apps. The built in browser is also a nice addition and saves having to switch apps (although I can't say how fully featured it is) Relatively few things I disagree with. The emoticons are tiny and are hard to tell apart in some cases without looking very closely. The switching between browser & chat was not obvious when returning to the app a few months later. On the whole though, really recommend this app.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Fabulous tool! A++Doesn't disonnect as much as before! And it is the most reliable IRC tool i have used sofar Love the combi of several chat tools, works for me all the time and is a timesaver. Thanks IM+ team well done!!.Version: 7.1
✓ Problematic but great!It's good, and it works really well, but ok having some issues with it, the only thing keeping this from a 5 star is the fact that, for some reason, whenever my iPod goes into sleep mode, which is inevitable by the way, when I turn it back on, it will not let me send or recieve any messages, if you could possibly fix this, I would definately change the star rating..Version: 0
✓ Works wellWorks well with multiple accounts, plenty of options so you can push or not notifications etc. Hiccups every now and then with an issue, but generally works perfectly..Version: 0
✓ Great appI knew it wouldn't take long to fix that little bug, I figured out right away that it was just when auto connect was on. If that happened you had to delete and reinstall the app from the app store or your iTunes library. But it's all fixed already anyways so that's good, keep it up Please include buddy icon support in the future. It would make the app a Top 50 for sure.Version: 0
✓ LongerIt takes longer to load everything. But I switched to this because Ebuddy kept crashing on me. So it's refreshing that this doesn't crash but I just wish that it would load a bit faster. That's going to get really obnoxious..Version: 0
✓ AwesomeThis is the best chat app ive found and is especially great for Facebook as it has a built in browser so you can chat and Facebook at the same time!.Version: 5.5
✓ Good app : )I updated it and I have checked it out to see why everyone's complaining but I'm not seeing a ad bar or any glitches or anything so unless I'm completely blind it works just fine. Anyways I really like this app and I always have : ) the only thing that I can recommend is making it so that there is a public room kind of thing that is available we're users would be able to join a room or create there own including the ability to password lock a room. It would be kinda neat, but other than that good job guys I am seriously thinking about buying the pro version : ).Version: 7.5
✓ One of the better ones(:IM+ lite is one of the good instantmsging apps, i think i really enjoy using it, only problem is that it crashes frequently and it takes awhile for all contacts to be shown but i guess with it being a free app you can't have everthing that you want:P overall its great and i use it all the time now, they have pretty good variety of backgrounds to choose from as well. i would recommend it(:.Version: 0
✓ A great way of communicating!!!!It is such a perfect app to keep all ur conversations together!.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Forget the restI had palringo, it was rubbish, I then got beejive because of some of the reviews in here, facebook chat didn't work.. Then I thought I'll give this a go and I'm sooo glad I did. Finally one that works!!! Simple to use and reliable... Why people complain about petite things I don't know. It's a phone app but works really well and I say better than All others... So don't waste your money because a few reviews put u off. I have a fully updated iPhone 3gs.. I would think if u have a 2g you will have trouble. Oh and as for battery life, as long as u don't leave it open there is no issue.. It will notify you when you get a message anyway. I hope this saves you the trouble I've had...Version: 0
✓ OkPretty good!!.Version: 0
✓ GreatDoes what it says on the box. Nice interface..Version: 6.5
✓ ConnectivityOddly enough, although it doesn't connect 100% of the time, it can connect through my universitys proxy for AIM which the official version doesn't seem to be able to..Version: 0
✓ *** ALOT *** Better than WM webmsgrI first had (WM) Webmsgr and thought it was great.. till it kept on saying can't log into server all the time and then kept on telling me I was putting in wrong user name..Then I tried IM+ Lite the layout is alot better than WM and your contact list has there MSN photo in this application which WM dosen't.. you don't have to create and account with IM+ all you do is put in your MSN or Yahoo account then it works straight away.. This is a great application I would love too get the full version but I'll will wait till the price drops I think. IM+ Lite is alot better than Webmsgr don't even bother with WM and go with IM+.Version: 0
✓ Its free now!?!?Can't believe this app is free now!! Nothing beats being free..Version: 0
✓ Great... Until you send an emoticonThis is a nice little handy application. I downloaded this in the hopes of replacing Meebo, which was a webservice I used that would have constant network problems. Although, within less than a minute of my first usage, it crashed and closed on me. I tried a few more times and noticed it crashed whenever I sent an emoticon. For that, this application is crap..Version: 0
✓ Great appTo be honest, though this app has a few bugs and such, it's really very handy and easy to use. it's convenient and seems to work okay even if this is the free version. I love the web browser on it and just everything about it. I would pay for the full version, and I probably will. I think that you should be able to edit your name and such, also because some of my messages don't get sent, more accurate delivery will have to occur. Over all though, a really great application, definetly worth downloading. great work guys!.Version: 0
✓ Love itThis is good as Ive tried nearly all of the rest and this thing owns all get it end of discussion just want to be able to Change dp, and change my talk name not just status message.Version: 0
✓ The Best IM ProgramIt allows me to have Facebook chat and MSN contacts and conversations listed together and working on the same screens. This is not as obvious a thing as you'd think, with some other big name apps not managing this feat! The new graphics and backdrops are excellent, the only gripe is that I wish i could use a couple of them as my main iPad wallpaper. For a free app this is as good as it gets..Version: 0
✓ IPad version of eBuddyUsing eBuddy for iPad, this is the only messaging app worth upgrading to..... It's HD obviously, it uses the large, clear default iPad keyboard........... The background can be a photo from your album and can be adjusted in brightness so you can see all the text clearly with any photo............ Nice user friendly interface, doesn't freeze, isn't laggy and works so smoothly............. You never haven to leave to go on the Internet or chatting on Facebook because it's there and there's a GPS feature that's is just a bonus......... Comes with adverts but can be removed in the free version which also adds skype future increasing functionality............. I love everything about it and has everything I would except plus much more......... The only thing I don't like is the fact that you have to pay monthly for speech recognition? Why :L..... And I can use speech recognization on my htc phone on eBuddy and that's free, so I'm pretty sure this one can too. I give it 4 stars, because that would mean it would have to be perfect, it would be if you didn't have to pay for speech rocognization and adds etc.....Version: 5.1
✓ Yes, yes, yes.This app really rounded off the iPad experience for me. It works flawlessly and allows access to all the chat networks I need. With push notification and the integrated browser, this is one of my top 5 must have apps. For those with concerns about staying logged in -- check the in app preferences before writing a scathing 1 star review! This is someone's hard work!.Version: 0
✓ Good appThis is a great app and it's free! it's probably my most used app on my iphone. I don't see why the full version is £5.99, when you only get a couple of extra features. It's a useful app but loses connection from time to time, even when you're next to your wireless router, but why argue when it's free if you could change the display pic, that would make it one of the best apps on the appstore!.Version: 0
✓ Great... but i will not pay £5.99PLEASE ALLOW FOR SENDING MESSAGES TO OFFLINE CONTACTS! it is so infuriating to have somebody try talk to you, but can't reply because their status is set to offline! v. annoying because people think you are ignoring you it would also be very nice to have a feature which keep you signed on if you close app or when ipod goes into sleep mode. full app is too expensive, reduce the price and more people will buy it, increasing your profits anyway.Version: 0
✓ AwesomePretty sleek and nice stuff going on there..Version: 5.4
✓ Better than beejive so farWhen I got my iPhone last year I did research n tried all the lite versions n chose beejive. What made me choose it was the ability to archive chats by emailing them to urself or others. It crashes quite often but i like the features so I was ok with that. Since Jan 8 10 it won't even open so I need a replacement untill it is fixed. I tried ebuddy lite, it's good, has push but u can't send pics. When purchasing it was between beejive n IM+ but this didnt mention archiving. So I'm logged on yahoo on IM+ now n I get a push that I have new email from so n so. Beejive didn't do that n now I'm considering buying this full version bc of that. Once beejive is fixed both have strong points so I reccomend looking at both but this seems to be better for me. Does this allow archiving n can I text to a cell phone like beejive?.Version: 0
✓ Great appGreat app, only thing is when yahoo logs in, the app adds all of the people that are blocked on the ignore list to your contacts, also does not support offline messages and you can only chat to people on your list, if someone who is not on your list chats to you, you cannot reply.Version: 0
✓ GreatIf it's slow, your 3G network is slow (they all are). Personally I use a wi-fi network and my contacts are up in less than 5 seconds :). Allows you to appear offline and can rotate to let you type faster (unlike palringo). :).Version: 0
✓ Lack of infoThis is a nice app. However, while I'm chatting with my friends, I'll like to see if they're writing a message. This app does not provide this kind of info. Also, im not able to change my personal message using this app..Version: 0
✓ Powerful and invaluable, but...The human factors need improving. Although this is probably an iOS issue, it is hard to tell which of the Contacts & Inbox tabs is selected. Further, the icons along the top right are not all very obvious. I am nit picking, this software remains my primary IM client now - I no longer use any on OS X, turning my iPad into a communications centre - with help from the Bluetooth keyboard. I tried some of the competitive iOS IM clients, but whilst they look spiffy, they were not as professional or well engineered, and I returned to IM+..Version: 5.5
✓ Appears offline to others while I'm actually logged onI've been using this app for 1 year, it crashes in the middle of convo, says IM+ received an unexpected crashed and I'll report the problem, but it still continues. Sometimes, it freezes up, but I still loved the app. But now whenever I logged on and put my status as "Away" or "Online", my contact friends all says I'm actually appearing offline..... this is actually getting annoying cause they can't send photos! Please fix the status.... why I am APPEARING OFFLINE to others when I actually did changed my status to ONLINE?! I've ingored those crashes and frozen times, and continued this app cause it's really good....but this status thingy is getting annoying. PLEASE PLEASE FIX IT!!!.Version: 0
✓ Ok AppWaiting on feature updates for this app. I wish Windows Live made An msn app that would be cool. wish there were picture option change ur personnal msg.Version: 0
✓ WONDERFUL!!!I LOVE it I can go on msn anywhere which has Internet connection!!! though I wouldn't mind being able to talk to people offline or having a display name? love it oh and don't waste your money on the full version this is good enough.Version: 0
✓ Love it!Its a really good app considering its free, but it would be heaps better if you could talk to 2 people or more in one conversation (msn) also that it sometimes takes about 5 mins for the message to come back then ive got to log off and back on which i find very annoying other than that its a awesome app..Version: 0
✓ Good multitasking free App.This is probably the best application made for iPad that can use multitasking. Ebuddy can be used for iPad but it is not made for it, therefore the "bad graphics". This is a free app with only a SMALL app space on the bottom. It includes multitasking for most IM's and facebook. This is definitely a useful especially because of it's free price. The only problem I have with this application is that if crashed from time to time, it will start to lag like crap and then it will crash, then it will ask you do you wish to inform SHAPE services of the crash. But it just does it repeatedly. That is pretty much my only complaint on this application. I believe th update should have fixed the bug. But I am unsure. Good job SHAPE..Version: 0
✓ Very GoodVery good app, next to no issues with it so far. Only issue I do have is that there is noticeable lag after using it for an extended period on an iPhone 2G using EDGE, probably due to the ad system. Easily fixed by buying the full version I guess. Also, not an issue, but a request for a MXit protocol? MXit is a very large cross-platform IM protocol in South Africa and the official (and only) iPhone app is basic at most. Would be nice to see it implemented in an update. 5 stars if there was no lag..Version: 0
