I own beejive and love it. Well worth the cost. Looking forward to other high quality apps like it. I myself hope there are more "high" end apps in the works.</p> @Rene- well said.

Great software takes brains, time, and effort. It's how these developers support themselves, their families, their kinds, and their users (tech support is hugely expensive). It's how they pay their employees, their servers, and fund development of the next great app.

I don't want the iPhone to be the laughing stock of platforms, where next-to-free f@rt apps is all we get because it's what we've told devs is all we want.

If an IM client isn't worth anything to you, why not make a better one yourself and give it away for free? If you can't, don't, or won't, that's an incredibly powerful indicator of just how much that -- or any decent app -- is really worth.

I don't think a Ferrari is worth more than $5, maybe they'll give me one for free? That's my opinion, but how informed is my opinion, and if months of designing, testing, and engineering aren't worth $5, what's my opinion worth?

It's on sale. As for it not being worth the money that is your opinion and that's great, you don't have to purchase it. Fact is, right now BeejiveIM is the best IM client in the App Store. Plain and simple. You get what you pay for. Try looking at prices for Windows Mobile app, Blackberry apps, etc... iPhone apps are way more reasonable.</p> @Nathan, it's normally $16 that's why it's in this post. It's on sale.

@Rene Sorry but it's not the same thing because the beejive devs are making a fortune, not $1 an hour. Let's face it this isn't photoshop were talking about it's an Im client.

That's one of the most expensive apps in the iTunes store! And that's the sale price! Just to have an IM client? My Windows Mobile phone came with an IM and I downloaded a better one for free. And there's no keyboard so what's the point anyway? I just don't get you iPhone people. I have an iPod Touch for the cool apps but there are so many that it's just like why?</p> How the hell is $10 an "app for less"? That's one of the most expensive apps in the iTunes store!

Although the quality <em>is</em> exceptional as well. I use it every day. Cant wait for real push!</p> I've always believed the reason for Beejive's higher price was because of the constant server connection, rather than the app's quality.

I havn't had to sign off of my AIM, Facebook, Gtalk, Myspace or Yahoo IM clients for weeks. I also have it set up so that if the app is closed it pushes new messages to me via SMS. I never miss a thing. I use Beejive now more then any other app.</p> I bought Beejive at $15.99 a couple weeks back and its still totally worth it.
