Emoticons?
Pretty cool, does it's job, is actually the only Instant messaging service that accepts msn users!( palringo says it accepts it but doesn't "recognize" msn users!) just wish u could use emoticons and winks!
Last Resort
At first it seemed like a decent application but it turned out to be so far from my initial assumption. It would load my MSN but after that i would not be able to IM anyone as when i clicked on a contact name it would send me back to the main menu. If anyone is considering this app and is a first time user like me i suggest using Palringo as it is also free but actually works with good results

Good starting point, but needs more polish.
This application is a good solid foundation. It connects directly to the servers, so you don't need to sign up with an account with the application's developers servers. I prefer that model. The downside is that you're at the mercy of the particular IM's systems to deliver offline messages. Because as soon as you hit the home button, you are signed off.
The current version has autocorrect disabled in the typing field. This I find to be highly annoying and will hopefully be fixed in the next release.
There are a few crashes here and there, and the occasional connection failure, but overall it seems pretty stable. The app has gotten better since the first release, which is appreciated. The visual polish isn't really there, but the interface is servicable.
It's a solid foundation, but for me not yet the perfect IM client.

Fring is better
Connection problems and bugs. Having better luck with Fring.
Don't waste you time
Crappiest application ever!!!! The only reason it gets a star is because I HAVE to put a rating. It crashes 98 per cent of the time and when you do connect it crashes mid conversation. Get palgrino it's free and doesn't smell like crap at all!
Room for improvement
No way of telling what contact is from what messenger client and no way of telling which email a specific contact is associated with. Overall, this program is lacking a lot of information and it crashes often (RE: first time using it... crash... second time fine, third... crash). Don't waste your time on this, there are better applications.

Not bad...
...and it may be all you need in a chat program but as others point out palringo is simply better at this stage. I found IM+ to be a bit crashy and short on features when compared to palringo.
A good effort considering
With the limitations imposed by apple at present a decent messaging service was never going to be easy. However I think that by adding the option to stop the phone from locking whilst still dimming the screen would make this more useable. Ontop of this I think the developers should take a look at how the apple SMS application handles text entry and make the text box grow instead of just letting all the text dissapear to the left. As soon as the app push service is introduced this will probably become my number one IM app. If there is anyway to get onto the skype IM servers then I think that should be one of the next priorities. All in all, not bad but a bit annoying at the moment.

Connectivity
Oddly 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.
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.
