I cant get skype to connect, but AIM works. ... needs more preferences though, like not connecting on launch etc.

Great program. Noobs, don't be affraid - it's a sweet IM in the very least, I can make calls no problem. Good for making calls when no ATT service (I don't know, I guess I will try when I have wifi but no service)??? I will use this most while on vacations outside of the USA.

The program crashed once - to be expected.. I will report back with any troubles.

This release is very new, I registered on the web site from my computer and it says they don't support the iphone yet (after you register).

Get this app!

I cant seem to log-in to skype it just says subscribing, let it go for a few minutes still no go. Gtalk worked right away. Aim had to enter and try to connect 3 times then it finally worked.
Really want to try this for skype voip calls. Any one got that workin yet?
Also what happens when you leave a wifi access point and connect to edge does the program auto reconnect the chat clients? Does it keep your chat msgs until you really exit the program?

Great App

**luiz** · 04-15-2008, 10:56 AM

skype worked for me... however, i did it about the first minute it came out :P

**sixth** · 04-15-2008, 11:02 AM

Hmm seems to work ok for me 1.1.4...but crashes on the 'test call' havent tried anything else but google talk seems fine.

**iPhoneArizona** · 04-15-2008, 11:34 AM

Cant log into Skype...***EDIT: It takes a while*** No notifier on springboard about waiting messages ***EDIT: Yes there is***. Besides that, what a killer app. Anyone have any info on battery drainage?

**Bernie-Mac** · 04-15-2008, 11:56 AM

So this allows free calls over wifi and it is a chat client?

**peteo** · 04-15-2008, 12:50 PM

I finally got skype to sign in. I kept on trying, when it says subscribing let it sit for a few minutes. If i doesn't connect stop it and try again in a few minutes. Not sure whats happening, but took mine a while to finally work. I also made a skype call and it worked!

Yes it's both.
It's a Chat/IM client as well as a VOIP client app.

Works great here, with the few test calls I made.
Skype does take a few tries and a bit of time but once it gets it, it's good.

Awesome, how is it as an im client?

**gabesir** · 04-15-2008, 01:32 PM

this app is freaking SWEEETTTTTT

i dont use my ringer too much because im at work all day so it would be cool it the notification supported the vibe option.

other than that!! Perfect!

**peteo** · 04-15-2008, 01:42 PM

so far its a good im client, keeps you logged in while doing other things on the Iphone. Looks like you can even get messages if you disconnect (loose wifi/edge signal) and then reconnect, this happened to me, and an IM popped up and said off line im sent 40mins ago. So it looks like they might be using a back end server (but I'm not 100% positive)

As I dont use IM or any other type of chat software (more of a IRC guy myself...might be the age), I'm unsure how well it works as a chat client, however for calls, it's as good as calling from my PC.

I'd expect to see a successor of this app in the App Store, once that is up and running.

**luiz** · 04-15-2008, 02:24 PM

its very good in all aspects

except it takes logn to connect ( i have fast intenret) :P

**TatesMan** · 04-15-2008, 03:29 PM
