Solid first release
Pretty 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.
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....

A simple IM application
I 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.

Okay
It could be worse, it the only one I've seen that msn works on . :)
Impressive
A 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.

Pretty cool APP. It needs some work though.
I've been waiting for a really good Adium type APP for awhile. This one seemed to fit the bill pretty well. It's got a nice interface, but there is a bug that makes it almost not worth kepping. If I'm signed on to AIM on my laptop and then sign on to this I get the system message saying I'm signed on in two places, which is normal. The bug happens when I go to delete this message out of the inbox and go back to my contacts list. Whenever I do this, the APP crashes and deletes all my info. I constantly am having to re-enter my info.
I would really like so see buddy icon support as well. I have some friends that I have on both contacts lists. I would at least like to see something that separates the different IM clients. Like, the little yellow man for AIM users and the guy that MSN uses. Other then those few things I have seen, it seems to be a fairly awesome APP. Once those things get added and fixed it would easily be a 5-star APP for me.

horrid!
I was really looking forward to this app as I had this on my blackberry before and was enjoying it but it needs much improvement. I cannot log into MSN with it, it crashes when I attempt to change my status. tried uninstalling and reinstalling and same thing. Same thing with google talk. Shape Services has alot of work to do if they wanna compete with jivetalk like they did on the blackberry.

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 start
Its a good start, but it needs an always connected feature, new IM notification (like SMS and mail), status messages and more settings
Simple and clean.
Nice to look at and simple to use. It could use a picture option.
