Description
This official Campfire app lets you use Campfire - the group chat tool from 37signals - right on your iPhone.
NOTE: This app requires a 37signals Campfire account.
What is Campfire?:
Campfire is a group chat tool that lets you set up password-protected chat rooms in just seconds. Invite a client, colleague, or vendor to chat, collaborate, and make decisions.
Campfire is better than IM:
Instant messaging is great for one-on-one chats, but it’s not ideal for groups of three or more. Further, if you are on AIM and your co-worker is on MSN you can’t chat. Campfire is network-agnostic and optimized for teams and groups.

Needs improvements
The app works as expected but could really use an update and some additions.
Would be great to be able to swipe down the keyboard like the Messages app after you've started typing. The "return to most recent" button is nice but it leaves you with only a few lines readable.
Minimally useful
I use this app because I need it, not because I love it.
Messages you enter at a computer do not show up in the mobile app, and vice-versa.
The time from opening the app to when you actually see new messages is glacially slow.
This app isn't up to the standards of 37signals.
EDITED TO ADD: the most recent update has gotten even worse; now new messages don't show up in the room until I go out to the lobby and re-enter the room.
Ugh. Campfire is bad and the iPhone app is worse.
I hate that we use campfire at my company. This mobile app is so poor I feel compelled to get us off of campfire entirely much faster.
