Pathetic company
esjiNovember 7, 2013
Pros
Absolutely none
Cons
The company and it's products are nothing short of pathetic.
Summary
Don't bother with any Bandoo, or ilivid software, for any reason.
I enjoyed this application very much it's a lot of fun.

Pros
I must tell you the truth this is one of the more enjoyable application. And it's free software. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing around with it. With my friends and in chat especially with the ladies. They use it and enjoy it. Works well you know like everything else it has settings and you have to access the settings to take care of the problems that you're having. Which means that you have to read a little bit ("not")Just look. It's a mater of removing a couple of checks out the box. The End!
Cons
As far as I see there are no cons to this either you enjoy emotions and you're enjoying using them in chat or email. I never have them come up in my email. Most people find them to be Cute. in using these things like everything else there is away to turn it off just like on the old annoying TV. But if you just really can't handle it (JUST TURN IT OFF) OR Uninstall it and quit complaining it's free remember have a good day.

Most annoying f***'ing app ever and how the heck did this install on my machine. All I know is that I can't even type a "thanks" in a hotmail email without having some annoying f***ing emotion appearing instead.

Pros
There are NONE.
Cons
Malwarebytes blocks the Bandoo site - does that not give a clue as to what is really is ? I have already had to clean the mess that Bandoo created from many computers. It gets into everything and eventually bogs down your system.
Summary
hilarious in comparison to other smileys.

Pros
Bandoo is everything I've been looking for! It has such a variety of emoticons I'm finding it hard to choose one!
Cons
Actually, I've been using it for quite some time, and can't really find any.

Easy to use, free and most importantly - It's just so pretty!
The Best package of emotes and smileys EVER
JordanW12February 19, 2009
Pros
Bandoo has a great selection of different smileys, emotecons and the such. Really an amazing program for anyone that likes to enhance their messaging experience.
Cons
really so far, I've yet to experience any sort of issues with the program's usage, functionability and service from the company.
Summary
Bandoo's enhancement package for messenger has really improved the messaging experience when using various smileys, emotecons and other various animations. I've yet to ever experience any issues with the program compatibility with both windows live messenger and yahoo messenger, and the customer service received when I did have some questions was prompt and accurate. This is truely one of the few online products I've given a 5 star rating to, and I recommend it for anyone interested in enhancing their messenger services.
