Rotations!
The app is great but you really need to get rotations right. Rotating into landscape scrolls up in the chat without fail, and requires the user to manually scroll down to the bottom again. Very annoying.
It's still the best IM client on the market. Beejive is dead.
Also, it keeps asking me to rate a "new version" so I just dropped it down a star. So dumb. Beg too much and you won't get love from me.Show lessFogdor
Nice, clean, missing groups and auto-away
Chats are nice, but almost too sparse. Chat bubbles would be a nice way of differentiating speakers, or even left/right separation to easily ascertain who is speaking. Unfortunately, the view is presented as a long, scrolling list of messages. Fine, but could be better.
Huge oversight in leaving out group chats. Not enough for a huge deduction, but the lack of an "auto-away" feature is a deal-breaker. That drops the rating down to 2/5 stars. Lacking auto-away makes it very difficult to prioritize where chats are going. I will miss large sections of a conversation because messages are going to my iPad, which has been in my bag and asleep for my commute. Why? Auto-away would make this far more seamless.Show lesspandapaulie
Good app, but a few bugs to work out.
On the whole I like the app, it runs multiple chat networks, even multiple accounts on the same network (two on GTalk, anyway). Being able to group contacts by network or by organized buddy groups is handy. Being able to combine contacts into meta-contacts (one person's AIM, Skype, and GTalk all grouped together) is even handier, and this is the first iPad app I’ve seen that does that consistently.
That said, the meta-contacts have a bug where only the status of the first account in the group is shown, so I have people who are showing up as offline but their second or third meta-contact account is available. There’s no chat tabs when you have multiple conversations going at once, you swipe sideways to get from one to the next. This works until you have more than three conversations going, at which point it becomes tedious and hard to find the right conversation. There’s also no way to reorganize buddies or add groups. If someone in my Skype “Ungrouped Contacts” is supposed to be in another group, this app won’t let me fix that. When I realized today that I really needed two groups instead of one, I wasn’t able to add a group and move the buddies there. These certainly don’t make the app any less functional, they just get irritating after a bit.Show lesspisatielnitsa
Delayed alerts
I'm glad to have found a replacement for eBuddy since they removed the gtalk functionality that I so desperately relied on, however I do miss one feature that they had very sorely: delayed alerts. I frequently have Adium up on my workstation and my iPhone near by and when I reply via Adium, I certainly do not want messages popping in to my Notifications screen on my iPhone and iPad. This is a real hassle and we need some kind of a solution ASAP for this.Show lessylluminate
DO NOT BUY - MANY ISSUES
This app does not allow you to delete old user screen names. It will prompt you to delete, but it doesn’t delete.
This app does not sync Skype/Google Groups and it doesn’t let you modify groups or create them.
This app does not sync your statuses. So if you change your status to away it doesn’t update whats actually online.
I contacted the developer a several months ago and they cant figure out the issues. They keep saying that they will try and fix it on the next update.
Other than that, it is a good app, but only if the above features actually worked.
I know the older version had issues, but the status feature worked.

Nice program, prompt support
This is definitely the best multi platform messaging program for the ipad. While it could use some refinement, I've not found anything else that comes close. The customer support is surprisingly prompt and helpful. Definitely worth it.johnSF
Side swipe to message multiple friends!
I like this update! It's as responsive as the previous version! However, this version dropped Twitter access, but it won't be missed. That likely gave it more room to be better in the connections to the other platforms.
My major complaint, though, is that the conversation cursor view doesn't default to the bottom of the text; I have to keep scrolling to the bottom in order to pick up where I left off; at least this is the case in landscape orientation. Please re-program things accordingly. Otherwise, this app is THE WAY to go for IM-ing!Show lessFree-thinker
Does the job!
After eBuddy decided to give up their IM service, I had to look for a new IM app. I did not have the old version of this app, just the newer version so I cannot compare the two. What I do know is that it keeps me logged in appropriately, doesn't fail, gets my messages to my intended party. I don't really need anything other than that so it does its job. It was more than I usually pay for an app, but it does what it says it will do, so it's worth the money. (IM apps are also getting increasingly hard to find as well.)Show lessTeaholic
Nice so far!
I like several things about the new version. Bigger fonts, preview in notification, etc. My only complaint is there was no way to import account setup or chat history..so now I need to maintain the old version for a while. For those who complain about paying for this...I would rather pay every so often than not get any upgrades because the company could not survive off of freeloaders.Show lessBad til update
Deceivers
You discontinued IM+ Pro. Now everyone who purchased IM+Pro before, now have to pay for IM+Pro7 again? And you removed the previous version and its support from the app store? Great. What you did is you showed no respect to your customers. You just wiped your feet on your users. I hope many users would agree with me, DO NOT buy it again. Next year with the release of iOS 8 they will change the name and ask you to pay again!Show lesspharaoncheg
