Hi,

currently Imo seems to be the best free IM software for Android, it just works. Thanks.

FANTASTIC web-based IM. One question- is Skype group chat that is initiated by skype clients coming soon?

How can you say Jabber is supported? I only see configuration options for a MSN/Yahoo/AIM/ICQ/Google Talk/My Space/Skype/Facebook account...

Please, make a Symbian app!

I also am wondering about where the Jabber option is. This is the final gap this app has to fill up to be the best messenger.

amazing ,fantastic service

I tried it using my Nokia 5800 browser,could not initiate a voice call,I think it has to do with adobe flash,tried it both with opera mobile 10 and the built in browser,not working

can it work with a bb9000 or bb9700 browser?the adobe flash thing?

Is it possible to use other platforms,like java instead of flash so it works on blackberry?

Imagine,using skype,voice calls over your blackberry browser and internet,that would rock

Please add group chats!

Shahar2k on November 19, 2010 11:24 AM

So with this android app, imo finally got me to switch out of meebo, since the meebo android app is much worse

I would love it if you could let me browse message history, and make voice / video calls off android as well, plus some sort of push style battery saving (I am aware that's an android 2.2 only thing but I recently got froyo and I want it! :) )

Skype Group Chat is not showing together in one single window, rather it shows like an different individual messages, bcz of this it is very difficult to club and read. Otherwise good App.

please a symbian apps !!!!

Thanks for the Android version. It's the best IM app I found on Android.

BUT: The "start on boot" feature seems to be non-working.

Also, please improve the UI and make the "tray icon" black and white. Thanks again!

Does this support QVGA Android devices like the HTC Wildfire? I'm having trouble logging into Facebook chat, the Allow/Deny buttons disappear.

Anonymous on December 4, 2010 5:54 AM

It is working fine on my HTC Wildfire. I have 7 accounts logged in at the same time.

I am not able to search it from my Motorola Backflip with Android 1.5. Does this require some particular version of android.

How do you exit the app, when you do not wish it running? Even logged off it stays in the task bar (Android HTC EVO 4G). Thanks, great app.

Tried installing on my old Devour. Seemed to work for a bit, then the device suddenly attempted to reboot itself and has been stuck at the loading screen for six hours. Thanks for bricking my phone.
