THIS PRODUCT IS FAULTY…any of those who test skype properly will notice this.

I LOVE the push. That’s nice. But the constant crashes are killing me.

It takes just as long to launch the email app as it does to launch IM+. They contacted you thru some form of IM, and probably expect a reply that same way. Unless both parties have push mail (still not all that common) they might not even know about your email for many minutes.

If you WANT email notifications, then just turn off the Push options (sound, pop-up, badges).

Then you get email, and can respond via email.

Sort of defeats the purpose of an IM app tho… :-/

Why do you guys have email set on at all?

The whole point of this upgrade was to get away from the need for email.

Turn it off, and set pop-up notifications on. In my tests, the pop-up notifications from Google-Talk, Skype, and Yahoo messenger were near instanteneous.

(Sent an Im from one account on my computer, the phone sounds and/or pop-up appears almost before I get my hand off the mouse). Tests done both on wifi and 3g.

@DP: Long time to connect = password problem or account lock-out (especially with MSN) due to log-in from multiple different IP addresses.

I didn’t do any twitter testing, but if you guys are having problems with Twitter, I suggest this slowness you report is specific to Twitter, and not this App.

What a trash program.

Would be curious to know if others have similar delay experiences?

i hate that i cant answer the message withour opening the App. In the 3.0 Version of IM+ i recived a email and could answer it in time. Now i have to open the app wait for reconnecting and then i can answer. That sucks and should be fixed!

or…

Do any of u guys has a solve for this problem or has the same experince?

First, for direct messages… In the first test I recieved the e-mail in exactly 1 minute and the push notification in 3 mins 34 secs. In the second test I recieved the e-mail in 1 min 58 secs and the push notification in 4 mins 15 secs. In the final test I recieved the e-mail in 5 secs!!! And the push notification in 4 mins 7 secs.

Now on to @replies… In the first test I recieved push notification in 1 min 24 secs. 2nd test 1 min 27 secs. And in the final test in 2 min 58 secs.

So all in all this is good enough for me and I think will be good enough for most every Twitter user. Maybe not good enough to carry on a conversation like when chatting but almost. Anyway thought I would share! Let the Twitter volley commence. Btw my Twitter name is mattshall so if ya want to follow me feel free and send me some @s for testing or whatever.

Looks like they thought letting you push a timeline of friends would be too much for the system.

It was fun to play twitter tennis with Rene

Some times when people asks to add you to buddy lists you don’t get that message till you reconnect, (Account off slider, then on again).

I’ve had crashes while trying to add contacts.

But for the most part it does work, and as Cobra says, the notifications arrive instantly. If the app is open, its conversational – just as fast as any native IM client for the service you are using.

If Sound is on, the incoming Sound is pretty loud. I suspect that is an Apple setting, and I can’t see a way to change it.

My Blackberry toting friends are impressed, and I no longer feel like the outcast of the group.

Somewhere I have an old Jabber account laying around I will try to test one of these days.

I’m liking this. And the current 5.99 sale price is a good deal. Snap it up before the price goes back up.
