Customer Reviews
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...
Good but...
Sign in was easy , and the icons are more visible ,But this is similar to palringo , because both sign out when u click on the home screen.
Thought this can be used as a msn inbox since it allows to view the inbox as well, but unfortunately it did not bring up anything.
both this and palringo are the same when it comes to connectivity , both were bug free when signing-in.
hope u find this helpful
IM+ is an amazing product!
I've used IM+ (and paid for it!) on my PocketPC for a long time. It's by far my fav. IM program--and worth the $30 I paid for it! But, this is free--and if you don't get it, you're out-to-lunch!!
