IM+ Instant Messenger 12+

If you want a quick chat it's easy to get up and chat to your mates, it's quick to recieve messages and with sending to. It shows contacts pictures which are a little small but still better than nothing, you have choices for wallpapers and also about your contacts like wheather you show it hide your offline contacts and have a folder to put your favourite people in that's just a click away at the bar at the bottom of the screen. Although it has good points there's always the bad like it's limited of it's sharing, like sending pictures or other documents you might have on you iPhone or iPod touch. Another is the fact you can't add people to your convos and aren't able to talk in big convos, even if others add you into
there's, unless you have all of the contacts in your contact list but it's still hard to see what's going on. Over all it's a really useful app to have, and it's free so there's no reason you shouldn't!

3.5 brought back auto correct, something thar was taken out by the last patch, they have added emoji, not much point but okay. 3.5 seems to have removed the minor annoyances and added some stuff which never should have gone. However these have been replaced with the single most annoying thing ever - location services. Version 3.5 sets them as a necessity. Everytime you change conversation window there is a pop up, everytime you go to contact list there is a pop up. This is highly irritating and the only way to disable this is to enable location services. Seems simple but when an app, such as this, is already a major battery hog, you don't want it draining it even quicker, secondly if you live somewhere remote like I do (the isle of man) location services never work so there is completely no point. Please devs, if this is some attempt to make us buy the full version it ain't working and if the next update brings and other annoyances (auto correction removal wouldn't be a surprise) then this app will be the single worst updated app I have ever experienced. This app has great potential, it's just a shame that the devs appear to have no Idea what they are doing.

Using eBuddy for iPad, this is the only messaging app worth upgrading to..... It's HD obviously, it uses the large, clear default iPad keyboard........... The background can be a photo from your album and can be adjusted in brightness so you can see all the text clearly with any photo............ Nice user friendly interface, doesn't freeze, isn't laggy and works so smoothly............. You never haven to leave to go on the Internet or chatting on Facebook because it's there and there's a GPS feature that's is just a bonus......... Comes with adverts but can be removed in the free version which also adds skype future increasing functionality............. I love everything about it and has everything I would except plus much more......... The only thing I don't like is the fact that you have to pay monthly for speech recognition? Why :L..... And I can use speech recognization on my htc phone on eBuddy and that's free, so I'm pretty sure this one can too.

I give it 4 stars, because that would mean it would have to be perfect, it would be if you didn't have to pay for speech rocognization and adds etc....
