Huge issue with logging into Facebook chat! It’s giving a lot of people constant bogus error messages and completely failing to log into facebook chat. This app runs poorly and is way over priced consider how many bugs it has. There is still no MySpace IM buddy list, it still constantly disconnects at random even on strong and reliable wi-fi, still gets tons of bogus errors, still slow to log in and out, still freezes, push notifications still don’t work well. I’m on a 3GS with it’s RAM always monitored and free’d up, and always running latest OS version. I’ve deleted and reninstalled Beejive many times now with no luck, and yes I’ve restarted the phone. Lots of reviews in the app store, including mine, are complaining about these issues. Like one of the people on here said, instead on creating nifty icons and updating the UI, they should focus on the software and it’s problems. Can’t believe they have the nerve to charge $10 for an app that runs like it’s the first stage of beta testing. Beejive’s developers are lame, evident by this latest “update.”

@BT I used to hate loading a chat window due to the lag on the original phone. Tried Beejive on my friend’s 3G and all the lag was the same. Got a 3GS and Beejive runs flawlessly! All the lag has gone, loading chats is fast and the connect time is cut in half (last point may be me not being used to running on 3G). Could that be the problem?

Newbie to Beejive IM. I use it under MSN sign in, but can anyone tell me why it is that my Yahoo buddies that are integrated into MSN will allow them to send me chats, but my replies don’t ever get to their end? Or am I doing something wrong. It bugs me because they can see me online and may think I’m ignoring their IM’s. Thank ahead on any replies.

Now if they could just update the msn client side to upgrade to the newest version of the protocool that allows for multiple concurrent sign on ( ie signed on to desktop, laptop, and iPhone at same time)

I got IM first, but it was too slow, even sometime I reply by SMS or email instead. Beejive is fast and reliable. Eventhough IM has more features, but really what’s the use if it takes too long to load.

@Firesign i think it still too expensive. Even when im aware it shouldnt have to be .99 or free because of its complex programation push 24/7.

You can start a group chat- on the chats tab tap the + button and start adding people

@victor – you do realize that beejive is a multi im client and not just aim, right?

I’ll stick with my free Nimbuzz.$10 for an aim client is simply ludicrous.

I still wish that instead of adding new features they would have perfected what they have. Beejive since 3.0 has been slow and unresponsive. This update seems to improve that some but not enough. It still lags and is unresponsive when simply trying to load into a chat window. The reconnection process is still somewhat painful. I hope they get the app back to 100% and soon.

It only works if someone invites you, I believe, but I know for a fact you can invite people to an existing groupchat through beejive.

I am still wondering how the group chat thing works, can you initiate a group chat or only join an existing one? Anyone shed any light on this?
