IM+ Pro is definitely one of my favorite Android powered mobile messenger services. It was originally $10 now $4 but I was lucky enough as an Amazon.com member to get it free since they give away a different Android app every day of the week! IM+ allows you to log into ANY IM service such as Skype, AIM, YIM, Facebook chat, GoogleTalk and many more. You're logged in to as many accounts as you want all through 1 program.
IM+ Pro is extremely user friendly. Its 1 large buddy list divided by the service and very easy to navigate between messages and keep track of your conversations. Overall its very stable and you can set accounts to log in automatically when you open the app. The only problem I notice is through Skype messenger which tends to log me out often when I use a 3G signal.
Recently the app was updated to include a function called Beep. This is similar to WhatsApp if any of you have tried that. Basically you input your cell # and can send web texts instead of regular SMS texts to other friends with Beep. Its like an IM program where your phone number is your screen name. Perhaps you or your friends don't have unlimited SMS texting, this is a free alternative way which takes advantage of the web function.
There are concerns regarding security because IM+ seems to use your info to log into their own private servers where they can relay the messages back and forth better. I'm sure their servers are secure but I think the capability for them to see the IMs makes some nervous.
Anyway I've tried practically every other IM service. The official AIM and YIM ones are pathetic. The other multi-function ones like Trillian were subpar and has annoying glitches. IM+ Pro is the best and you definitely won't be disappointed with it!
