Posted 10/14/2011 at 5:00pm | by Susie Ochs It's my last Friday before maternity leave. So with visions of onesies dancing in my head, I present to you these awesome apps that are at newly lowered prices -- many in honor of the just-born iPhone 4S. Now you'll spend less money in the App Store, and have more money for diapers. (Yes, I realize I'm the one buying the diapers, not you. But bear with me here. I'm in no condition to argue...)

Well read on for TiPb’s top 5 most recommended IM/instant messenger clients for iPhone! Beejive is probably one of the most popular IM clients for iOS, and for good reason. It supports almost any messenger client you can think of and is completely customizable. Beejive has been making IM clients for a very long time, and it shows.

Updated impressions: IM+ 4.5 for iPhone
Calendar16 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 22:12:45 UTC +00:00
I haven’t used IM+ ($9.99) in quite a few months, but I decided to give it another try recently, just to see how much had changed. I’ve always thought of IM+ as a competent messenger application, but my impression was that it lacked the level of polish that separates good apps from great ones. In particular, IM+ used to feel like a port of the Windows Mobile version of the app, which simply wasn’t designed for iOS. However, we’ve seen quite a few updates to IM+ over the past few months, and version 4.5 feels much more like an iOS app than previous versions. The contact list flows better, more portions of the app support custom wallpapers, and Fast App Switching makes chatting, even while multitasking, feel almost seamless. IM+ even makes me feel a little guilty when I use it. There are so many extra little features that I simply don’t Read More

4 Top iPad IM Apps
Calendar16 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:00:48 UTC +00:00
While the iPad fits a niche between an iPhone and a laptop, I’m still having trouble thinking of it as a truly mobile platform. Sure, it’s light and portable for easy touring, but I recall Fender once marketed the very-bulky Fender Twin Reverb in the same way. Instant messaging apps on the iPad underscore the fact that the iPad is more likely to stay in my bag than be used while out and about. Very rarely do I have a serious conversation via IM, and I tend to use it as a form of text messaging while I’m on the train home or running errands. However, I do find myself using an iPad IM client when I’m using the device as an accessory computer. Often, while playing a game on my Mac, I’ll have the iPad next to me with an IM client open. Last year, I wrote an article highlighting 10 Read More

Messenger, MSN / Live, AIM (Mac users think iChat), ICQ, MySpace, Facebook, Jabber, Twitter and Skype chat.

SHAPE Services, the company behind the popular iDevice IM app IM+ (TMA Review), has just released a free, ad-supported version of their best-selling remote control application, RDM+. By utilizing both the app on your iPhone/iPod Touch and the (free) desktop RDM server, users can easily access and manage their home and office computers remotely. Chiffan reviewed RDM+ several months ago and had this to say: To sum it all up, RDM+ is the best remote control software I’ve seen thus far on the iPhone. While it has its limitations (the single-screen access and the fixed refresh time), the ability to work through ANY firewall, the easy setup, and the excellent and ultra-fast interface make it unrivalled if you find yourself in need of putting in that extra bit of work on the PC but are out. If remote access to your computer(s) is something you’d like to accomplish, RDM+ Lite is Read More

Am heutigen Abend wurde aus der App Store-Anwendung Tweetie 2, durch eine im April bekanntgegebene Akquisition, Twitter (kostenlos; App Store-Link). Version 3.0 soll den vollen Funktionsumfang des zurecht hochgelobten Mikroblogging-Clients von Loren Brichter bereitstellen. Kleine Design- und Feature-Veränderungen modifizieren das Programm in eine ‘anfängerfreundliche’ Richtung. Die iPhone-App war das beherrschende (Twitter-)Trend-Thema am heutigen Tag. Neben all der berechtigten Kritik, gestaltet sich das Angebot der funktionsbeladenen Anwendung, ihrem Gratis-Vertrieb und der offiziellen Hersteller-Unterstützung, sehr überlegen. Ich bin gespannt, welche Gestützte Geschütze die Konkurrenten in Zukunft auffahren.

Si tratta di un’offerta davvero molto allettante in quanto il suo prezzo passa da 7.99€ a 1.59€. Vi ricordiamo che è l’unica applicazione che, tra le tante funzioni, permette grazie al supporto all’In-App Purchase di acquistare un servizio aggiuntivo chiamato “Speech Recognition“. Il client per l’instant messaging sarà quindi in grado di riconoscere i suoni e trasformare le nostre parole in testo, da inviare ai vari contatti online.

Cerulean Studios can finally let out a sigh of relief, as their multiservice IM client that was formerly only available for Windows has finally made its way into the App Store after spending months in the approval process.  Now the question is, is it any good? Trillian was built to be a fast, easy to use, and reliable chat client for the iPhone and iPod touch.  It supports multiple chat services at launch, including AIM, ICQ, WIndows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Google Talk, with many more to be added “soon.”  The app also features multiple account support, the ability to stay signed in for up to 24 hours, “intelligent” push notifications, global status control, and much more. Trillian is also able to stay synchronized across multiple clients, which means if you change your avatar, display name, or add a contact, it will immediately be reflected on the Windows Trillian client, Read More

Today we ‘re continuing our series called Desert Island Apps.  It ‘s based on a very long-running and brilliant BBC Radio show called ‘Desert Island Discs ‘.  The premise of Desert Island Discs is simple and wonderful “ a guest is invited to choose the eight musical pieces (originally records) they would take with them if they were stranded on a desert island. In our case of course we ‘re not interested in our guests ‘ choice of music.  What we want to know is which six iPhone apps they would take with them if stranded on an island. We ‘re leaving the playing field pretty wide open for them “ letting them assume they ‘ve got WiFi and full connectivity on their island. I ‘m very happy to say that for today ‘s post we ‘ve got Dan Cohen as our ‘guest ‘.  Dan used to be a major contributor Read More

Shape Services’ IM+ v3.4 has finally found its way out of Apple’s review process and into the App Store.  The long-awaited update contains a handful of new and interesting features, including speech recognition, but surprisingly it’s the new icon that’s causing a bit of a stir.

Il client per l’instant messaging sarà quindi in grado di riconoscere i suoni e trasformare le nostre parole in testo, da inviare ai vari contatti online. Inoltre abbiamo il supporto alle emoticons animate, una nuova icone ed alcuni bug fixai. Ecco un video della versione 3.4 in azione: Nota: Lo Speech Recognition funziona bene con le parole inglesi, con quelle italiane non si ottiene, logicamente, lo stesso risultato. Read More

Multi-messagingdienst Trillian komt naar iPhone
Calendar16 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:23:53 UTC +00:00
Trillian, wie kent ‘m nog? Ooit was het een relatief populaire instant messagingclient voor de pc, vanwege de mogelijkheid op meerdere im-diensten in te loggen. MSN, Yahoo!, ICQ — Trillian combineerde al je accounts onder één interface. Het is eigenlijk vreemd dat deze messenger niet al eerder de overstap naar de iPhone heeft gemaakt. Die eer gaat naar concurrenten als IM+, BeeJiveIM en eBuddy. Maar onder het mom van ‘beter laat dan nooit’ wordt er nu toch nog een Trillian-applicatie gelanceerd. Trillian hoopt gebruikers over de streep te trekken met hun Astra-platform. Deze staat het toe met meerdere apparaten tegelijkertijd ingelogd te zijn en gebruik te maken van je accounts. Trillian for iPhone maakt verbinding met Trillians eigen Astra-server. Deze synchroniseert informatie en berichten razendsnel naar alle ingelogde clients. Voeg je een contactpersoon in Trillian for iPhone toe, dan duikt deze ook meteen in de Trillian desktopclient op. De Astra-server werkt Read More

I’ve tried a few of the free messaging clients on the App Store, but this review marks my second foray into the land of paid instant messaging apps on the iPhone (Beejive being my first), and Shape Services’ IM+ seemed like an interesting solution to try. They’re pretty well known on other mobile platforms, and I learned a bit more about the app when we wrote our “three leading iPhone IM apps” roundup a few months ago. Shape Services was kind enough to send me a promo code for this review, and so I relocated Beejive to a derelict page of my iPhone home screen (who knows what goes on past page four?!) and have been using IM+ on my first page for the last couple of weeks. The app loads up fairly quickly, although there are some times when it just seems to take forever to re-connect to my chat Read More

They always say competition is good for the consumer, and we are definitely getting some competition in the push-capable Twitter app arena.  Twitbit‘s claim to fame is that it is the first “full-featured Twitter iPhone app to provide full support for push notifications.”  But is that enough to sell you on a $4.99 Twitter app? Unlike the many push-capable Twitter apps, including Boxcar, iTweetReply, and IM+ with Push, Twitbit can serve as your go-to Twitter app.  Even though the interface is kind of bland, the app contains a hefty amount of features, including the ability to save tweets, upload pictures, start and stop following people, view trends, browse previously viewed tweets offline, use multiple accounts, and of course receive push notifications for mentions and direct messages. Twitbit is appropriately priced at $4.99, which is right in line with other full-featured Twitter apps and of course the benefit is that this one Read More

10 Instant Messaging Apps for the iPhone

When push notification finally made its way to the iPhone, a lot of people were anticipating IMs pushed to their iPhone. At first, I scoffed at this idea. I’d always figured IMs were based around the “instant” part of the phrase, and someone pushing an IM to me might be disappointed if I don’t get back to them right away. Well, guess who’s been a big iPhone IM-er since 3.0 came out? Go on, you’ll never guess. Yep, it’s me. I’d like my crow with a side of au jus, and a loaded baked potato, please.

iTweetReply - Another Push-Enabled Twitter App

First came IM+ with the ability to push Twitter mentions and direct messages, then there was iTwitter, then the very recent Boxcar, and now we have iTweetReply.  It’s obvious that developers are starting to realize that we want push notifications for our Twitter apps. iTweetReply features the ability to view your entire Twitter timeline along with the ability to send you push notifications for mentions and direct messages.  It also allows you to upload images via Twitpic, but that’s basically it.  According to early user reviews, the push notifications work just as promised, but iTweetReply probably won’t replace your current Twitter app of choice.  Unlike Boxcar, iTweetReply doesn’t offer the ability to go straight from a push notification to a different Twitter app. At only $1.99, iTweetReply is definitely the cheapest push-enabled Twitter app, which should only make your purchasing decision that much more difficult.

It looks like the IM+ sale that we mentioned earlier in the day was fairly short-lived, as the v3.2 update has already been released in the App Store. The update is an extremely trivial one, that is if you were looking for some new features, since the update’s description simply reads “This is a bugfix only update.” Since the update hasn’t propagated to all servers yet, you may be able to score yourself IM+ for only $4.99.  Actually, we can’t even confirm if the update will bring upon the promised price hike because of this.  As always, if you don’t see the updated version in iTunes, you can always download the current version and update the app via your iPhone or iPod touch.

Under the contacts tab you will find find a list of your contacts organized by account, group name, or no group (selected in settings). If no group organization is chosen, then your contact list will by organized alphabetically based on availability. So, the top of your list will show available contacts, then idle or away contacts.

Boxcar: Twitter Push Notifications Done Right
Calendar16 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:27:36 UTC +00:00
A few days ago, we reviewed iTwitter, one of the earliest iPhone 3.0 Twitter apps to support push notifications, but one major let-down of iTwitter is that push notifications only work when both parties use the iTwitter client. Today, however, Boxcar arrived in the App Store (iTunes link), and this client actually polls your Twitter feed every 5 minutes and sends out push notifications whenever a new direct message or @reply arrives. Messages sent between Boxcar users will be pushed out immediately. It's important to note that Boxcar is not a fully-featured Twitter client. While you can reply to direct messages right from the app, it will actually open up your favorite Twitter client (you can currently choose between Tweetie and Twitterific) in order to open up replies. In the next version, which has already been submitted to Apple, Boxcar will also give you a choice to handle your direct messages Read More
I’ve been keeping my eyes, almost obsessively, on all the new iPhone OS 3.0 apps out there. I’ve especially been looking for push apps. I’ll give you the lowdown on the particular Push apps I consider worthy of download later in this column. But first, I want to talk to you about a problem I’m having. I upgraded my iPhone from original to 3GS last week and was sad to see my trusted iPhone die the death of deactivation.

So Far, Push Notifications on the iPhone are a Letdown
Calendar16 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 19:30:33 UTC +00:00
When Apple launched the iPhone 3.0 update, we were pretty excited about a number of the new features in the OS, but push notifications, which Apple billed as an alternative to battery-draining background processes, were on the top of our list. After a few weeks with the iPhone 3.0 OS, however, only a very small number of push apps have made it into the store, and even some of the best ones, like BeeJive IM (iTunes link) and the AP Mobile app (iTunes link) suffer from major drawbacks. BeeJive, for example, is a great IM app - and so are eBuddy (iTunes link) and IM+ with Push (iTunes link), two other push-enabled IM apps that were released in the last few days. These apps are intuitive, connect to most popular IM networks, and work just as advertised. But when it comes to push notifications, there are just too many little things Read More

I used IM+ on Blackberry for two years and had high expectations for it on iPhone. I am happy to see that I was right.
Awesome app - IM is instant again!!!

It's just awesome I love it but yes wish it was a bit cheaper like $4or $5 but $10 is a bit too much :-)
I can haz Push now?
Krevlorne 2.0 stars
This app is not the most stable, though is it as stable as it's free counterpart (IM+ Lite) and "Push" mode does not appear to be functioning at all at the moment. My suggestion; Stick with IM+ Lite until their Push function is more solid and the application is more stable.
Great app cheaper than beejive

It is seemingly the same as the free version and has no audible notifications? Pushing through email is clumsy. Save your money... I'd like mine back.

Worst IM client ever
Huh123456789 1.0 stars
Wasted 2 bucks only to receive 2334 text messages through push saying I've been disconected. Not worth the trouble. I bought beejive and it works great. Wish I could get my money back for this.
Awesome App!!!

Great im app

I am very happy user of this application. The greatest thing is that it not only allows you to receive messages when you are offline but also. To respond using mails!
Horrible

So many test messages... WE KNOW IT WORKS!!!

I get a freakin test message every single time I open and close IM+. Please only send me one ONCE. then I know it works!
Good, But Could Use Some More
LED ZEPP!!! 4.0 stars
This is a great iTouch application. I have Windows Live Messenger, and I'm not sure about other IMing services, but from Windows Live, you can send a message to someone's cell phone, which is really cool. It would also be nice to receive and read offline messages from this app. If you added these features, it would be a perfect application, and I'd buy it for 20 dollars.
Has worked fine for me..
pokeAcaro 5.0 stars
This app works way better than I expected! I read some of the reviews before buying and it made me hesitant but I said what the heck! and figured i'd try it and it has worked just dandy! :]
Good
AlyxAugust 4.0 stars
This is Awesome, but with the new update, every time I launch the app, it tells me I'm logged in in two places. Any fix for that?
PERFECT

Love it.
Awsome!
The Heavy Metal Dude 5.0 stars
This is a VERY good app. DO NOT listen to those idiots claiming this is crap. It's not, if you have multiple IM acc's like me then this is VERY usefull and there will be updates such as sending AND receiving pictures/voice IM's. I recommend buying this while it's still 99 cents to get the most from your dollar. I do NOT regret purchasing this. Keep on Rockin! \m/

Needs fixes
Jesusfreakhbc 3.0 stars Version: 1.5
I like this app because it is the only one I've seen with myspace im. However the push thing is kinda cool, if it worked right. I can't send messages back through mail. Also, I need sound for incoming ims. I don't see that feature. How about pushing to SMS? Please update pretty quickly. This app has potential.
Really Like!! Some suggestions...
mwjenkins1 5.0 stars Version: 3.1
This is probably my NEW favorite IM app for the iphone. I love the "push" as it is almost immediately received on my iphone. Why can't we stay logged in indefinitely? I know this lets you stay logged in longer than the rest of the apps... 3 days, but why not all the time? Also, it would be really nice if you could set the times that you would like to receive push notifications...say between the hours of 8:00 am and 10:00 pm. Most people don't need to be awaken in the middle of the night for someone to ask them "What's up?". Having said all of that... I am highly satisfied!! Keep up the good work!
Skype? Just barely! Same as 3.0....
TempeChris 1.0 stars Version: 3.1
I purchased this application for the sole reason that it claimed support for Skype messaging, now with Push technology. IMO this feature needs some serious work. According to my buddies, when I close the app, I get disconnected from Skype within 5-10 minutes. So much for keeping me connected for 3 days. Then, every time I return to the app, I'm reconnected. This becomes unbelievably annoying to those in my list as I sign on/off every 5-10 minutes. Everything else (especially PUSH) works pretty much as claimed I just hope there is some serious digging in on the Skype support on future versions.
What
Andrew0002 5.0 stars Version: 3.0
Can't you people read? They have submitted a new version that supports push, Apple just hasn't put it on the store yet.
Fantastic Application
BossyRossi 5.0 stars Version: 1.6
Beats all the other apps. This one is rock solid, and it's terrific. Great application guys!
Very useful application!
ChiTownRed 5.0 stars Version: 1.8
I bought this a couple days ago when it was on sale and I have been using it frequently ever since. At first, I had to turn off the IM Push due to the spam test messages I was receiving from the service. Today's 1.8 update seems to have dramatically improved that bug. I tested IM Push and it works!! Great app! You will not regret buying the new version.
amazing
johnrrblue 5.0 stars Version: 1.8
this app is the best app i have. with the new update it alowes you to send pictures. this app works better than my computer! buy it! well worth the money!
Skype IM only stays connected to PUSH for 15 minutes
Sdsolomon 1.0 stars Version: 3.1
After first thinking this was working fine, I realized that push notification was not REALLY working for Skype (which is why I bought this).... it would "disconnect" within minutes. I contacted tech support at Shape Services and they answered "Due to technical reasons, Skype connection is kept only for 15 minutes. Please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance." - Since this was the only reason I purchased this, I have wasted $10. DON'T BUY THIS FOR SKYPE IM.
The best
Alb3rti 5.0 stars Version: 3.3
This is the best messenger I have used It does everything it said sometime it take long to connect but after it connected it will never drop you. Push also work great
Good
sumb0765 5.0 stars Version: 3.2
Until now , the new update is still stable and no crushes. This app is better than Beejive IM with my respect.
Best IM App Out There! 
Furedeikun  5.0 stars Version: 3.2
This is a tremendous app. It seriously gets better and better. I was one of the earlier downloaders, and I'm surprised by how much this app has improved. While it might have been just a tad bit glitchy in past versions, it has now gone beyond my expectations. I love how they've added the new wallpapers. My only suggestion left is to add sound options, even though the one right now is perfectly fine. This is a great app and a great buy - get it!
Great
SuperOutman 5.0 stars Version: 3.2
Faster than beejive. Very good
Ver 3.3 is buggy
Kraksx 3.0 stars Version: 3.3
Don't get me wrong I love IM+, but this latest update is bad, everytime I close the app and when reopen it I have to sign off then back on in order to see my buddy lists. I miss 3.2, and that needed work, but this ver. is not worth it, I wish I could go back. I hope 3.4 is out soon, and fixes these issues.
Very Buggy! Beware!
aalexan1 2.0 stars Version: 3.3
This app is very buggy. It takes a long time to restore after closing the app and reopening it, and I have a 3gs! It also takes a ridiculous amount of time to connect. About 97% of the time, upon opening the app, the "restoring" indicator turns to a black line and can only temporarily be fixed by turning the phone to landscape and switching back to portrait. I also have difficulty connecting to facebook on this. The twitter timeline does not update or restore, no matter how many times I click the restore button. We don't have the option of choosing which friends to get timeline push notifications for. The sound indicator is not customizable. The IM+ icon is tacky and ugly. This app is just too laggy in general. Please update and fix these issues and I will change my rating and update my review.
BEWARE! DOES NOT WORK WITH SKYPE
nswincolorado 1.0 stars Version: 3.3
if anyone out there actually can connect to skype, please post. mine connected with 3.1 but then stopped working with skype. upgraded to 3.2 and it wouln't work. upgraded to 3.3 and it still wouldn't work.
Skype logs out after 15 minutes
Wozawoza 2.0 stars Version: 3.3
This app is great. Pity it only stays connected to skype for 15 minutes after you close the app. Unfortunately this is not mentioned anywhere before you pay for the app even though it's a consistent (for all users) known problem.
Best IM app just got worse
IencoreI 3.0 stars Version: 3.4
My review just spinned a complete 360 from 5 stars to 3 (being generous). First of all, transparent app icon background?! Seriously developers what were you thinking. It doesn't look cool and you guys haven't started a trend by doing that. Bring back the blue background in the app icon. Next, the loading screen is ugly. Again, the app was great and we loved it, but don't preach us the awards it has won upon opening the app. DEVELOPER READ THIS PART If you must ignore a comment, please do NOT ignore this. Instead of wasting time adding "cool" new features like animated emoticons (which I thing wasn't the smartest idea), why don't you work on fixing the current bugs? Twitter was cool, but I receive notifications of tweets and direct messages I have received weeks ago and already opened. I get a spam of over 30 messages I have already seen. Also, Skype is very unstable. There was a time where I couldn't access my skype for weeks. It works when it wants to. Look, you have a lot of competition, we get it. But ditch the "cool" fancy features and work on getting the basics down perfect first. We paid for this app for a reason, don't make us regret our purchase. From, A used-to-be satisfied, disatisfied customer. PS - get rid of the transparent background!
Way to go...
Mesabrewery 2.0 stars Version: 3.4
Thank you so much for adding an ugly splash screen to brag about your awards and increasing the loading time...people who paid for the app don't really care. Advertise on the lite version and speed up the loading time for us paying customers...what were you thinking???
3.3 rocks
theone81 5.0 stars Version: 3.4

Where is spell check?
Pawacoteng 1.0 stars Version: 3.4
I tried it this am with msn and the auto spell check is gone!!! I'm going to download a new app for IM. I might go back to you if you fix. I so regret downloading update. Please give us the option to turn off the emoticons animations. They are distracting and not cute. Standard smiley faces preferred. :(
Load screen
Megarain.X 2.0 stars Version: 3.4
So, this new update adds a LOAD SCREEN every time you launch the app. This is unacceptable for an instant messaging app. Hate it.
I like it
Alex2315 5.0 stars Version: 3.4

Where is push mail?
NotNewtonsApple 4.0 stars Version: 3.4
If you don't see the PUSH MAIL settings, don't freak out. Just turn OFF all of your accounts, then close the App, open it again. Click on the accounts, you should see the setting. Enable it, and turn the account back ON!!
Love this app!!!
Tom Tyree 5.0 stars Version: 3.4
Supports all IM services. Landscape view, IM backgrounds and in app Internet. Love it Only wishes as of now would be accesess to my Internet favorites, it to say your account name instead of "you" when you have multiples accounts and it to keep my hotmail signed on when I use my laptop or 360.
Love the new update 
