If there are people here who would like to confront APPLE with this dissapointment and find out why we cannot get a refund after we were lied to with false advertising post back and we can begin trying to find a resolution since Mobile me refuses to find a fix to this RIDICULOUS debacle!

NO REFUND? I am going to look into this and see if what you all are saying is not illegal?

Because it very well may be. And if it is not.. Imagine the class action law suit you could face?

The server hasn't been sending that message in over a day now. When did you last launch the app / received that message?

I want to avoid the impression that I am not constructive. But maybe it should be considered that if you switch off the push-notification, the redirection via the MC-servers will be switched off also. This would save quite a big portion of the necessary bandwith...of course push is a great feature, but the major aspect of the app is chatting....and in my opinion, the user expierience is far behind MC 2..

Please just inform us of when the ten minute log in wait will be lifted when the app crashes.
Or when the app freezes due to sending a picture IM.

Sometimes pic IMs work, sometimes they crash MobileChat, I think it is ridiculous for me to have to wait ten minutes to log in again when it isn't my fault.

I shouldn't be getting used to saying "Gonna attempt to send you an image, might not be able to talk for ten minutes."

ah well.. trust me to not be able to stay away.

Installed MC again, and this time it does seem to be running.

Good to see you have "muscle" coming in to help, will be looking forward to the fixes.

Regards.

Agreed, Mile. Epic fail. Of course, I reserve the right to change that thought once the program is working.

They are similar enough. Blue squares that are very close to the same blue with "MC" and "UC" on them. They are plenty similar. The font is not exactly the same and the spacing is not either, but they are similar. Try actually putting them next to each other and see.

Shaun mentioned the charging in the post because many users have misunderstood a previous comment regarding upgrades not being free.

As for a major upgrade, I wouldn't expect one for at least 8-9 months. We have plenty on our plate and #1 is perfecting MobileChat for our current users.

Ok I just have a question:

1) Offline buddies aren't supposed to show in the buddies list? Mine don't show... only online buddies... but even those, show as online and arent really online... weird.

I notice that when i click on the MC icon i go straight to the accounts tab and it shows as gray so i go into the Status tab and go from online to "offline" back to "online" and it automatically signs me in... isn't it supposed to sign me in as soon as i click the MC icon to open the application?

Please let me know... thanks in advance!

Could you please give us subscribers in Canada a further update on the current state if affairs and what's been going on since your last post? There's not much working on MobileChat for me since it was purchased and I haven't seen much meaningful progress since then. I'm using Meebo in meantime and it's stable and very functional. What gives?

1 I keep getting a warning saying if you continue to try to log in and out you will have to wait even longer. Problem is I am not logging in and out. My computer was off and I drove 30 minutes home after work and tried logging on that is when I got the message.

2. I have a google docs account therefor it is also a google chat account . In the account tab my three accounts look all distorted and are logged in but dont show it.

3. The buddy list needs to be grouped by status and some sort of designation of what account the buddy is on.

4. If my address book on my iPhone has all my contacts linked to their sn why does it not show up as their name?

5. If i click on a buddy and do not send an im. Please dont create a chat under the chat tab.

It's been 3 days now and I still cannot connect to aim. When I login to msn, my accounts disappear and buddy list is not updated. My chats cannot close and it still does not support other inputs like Chinese characters. This is such a waste of time and effort.

Extremely disappointed and unsatisfied.

I'll start by thanking you guys for all the hard work. I'm very glad someone released a clean and good messaging application. I have two requests though which may have been suggested already... If so, consider this a support for their request I guess.

First of all, could an option be added to hide people's avatars from the contact list? Maybe I'm a minimalist but I find the screen rather chaotic with all those avatars, including some really ugly ones :p

Secondly, I think some people might appreciate the ability to sort contacts by groups. Perhaps with a collapse option... In which case offline contacts could also be displayed in the contact list. If they bother you, you can simply collapse the offline contacts group.

i have a question. when i try to launch mobilechat on my iphone 2g it doesnt load up and just goes back to my homescreen. and also when i am able to get into mobilechat and i try to switch my status from offline to available it says that i have been trying to log into my account too many times and i need to wait 10 minutes and try again. is this a problem with my phone or is it a software bug and will it be fixed on the next update?

Re: Some of your questions answered

Sweep — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:49:20 -0000

Sorry to say it gents, but I have uninstalled MobileChat.

And most likely will not be installing it again.

I did get it to work so-so, albeit with a few problems. However, all day today the app has been unable to open. It just might open for 5 seconds, only to crash instantly. I have tried everything. Installing it again, installing via iTunes. Nothing worked, the app simply will not run, at all on my iPhone.

Add to that the fact that I am experiencing MASSIVE change in battery-life since installing this app, for some odd reason, and I have to say that I will not install it until at a further time when everything has been set out straight, when all bugs have been fixed.

Now what? I will have to wait till September for now. Once push-notification is released, a few other IM apps will be released. Amongst these Beejive and possibly Fring.

One of these will most likely be the one I choose. I will keep following your adventures with this app, and wish you all the best. You have a really good thing going for you, I just am left with the feeling that you bit off a hell of a lot more than you can chew. Good luck!

Never connects to AIM. Tells me that I've been connecting too often. I've reinstalled the application, I've removed and again added my account several times; nothing will fix it. Incidentally, I can login to my account using any other client no matter how many times I get that message in MobileChat. Speaking of the message, sometimes it shows up three times in a row and then the whole visual UI breaks. Basically, I'm beginning to be impatient considering this was supposed to replace a free application that currently... get this... works.
