IM+ Instant Messenger 12+

It logs me out of my accounts every time I put the app in background. Sometimes it logs me to a different account than the one I entered my login/pw for. Sometimes I get a white screen and I need to delete the link and make a new one from the start. Trying to play Instagram videos or stories messes things up... either it won't load or you get stuck to the video player like it's a magnet. This app is way too much trouble.

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.

I am tired of giving bad reviews. I have tried each and every Instant Messaging application here, secretly hoping for one that will do VoIP, and this one is another disappointment. This newcomer, IM+, looked like a promising contendor, particularly with the company backing it offering Skype functionality with Voice for the iPhone. I would be willing to pay for that! My expectations were therefore quite high and this was a let-down.

Things I noticed:
1) No Skype support - none whatsoever. None. Zero. Zilch.
2) No unicode support - if you are like me, bilingual and occasionally using an alphabet other than latin, forget IM+. Anything other than the latin alphabet, will get you an error.
3) No HTML support - At the very least, shouldn't it strip the HTML from incomming messages if it cannot render it?
4) Crashes - Stability issues. It crashes seemingly at random and for no reason. You don't even need to USE your phone in order for this application to crash! If only it showed as much initiative working as it does crashing, it would have 5 stars!
5) When you select a conversation from your list of conversations, you don't have an arrow back. The Home button is the only way out.

For now I am sticking with Palringo. While everyone else tries to come up with a chat program, the guys writing Palringo actually succeed! IM+ has a long road ahead of it before it is ready for use.
