  "Poorly designed and quite annoying overall"

  August 26, 2009  |   By kopftrommel

  Version: Pandion 2.5

  Pros

  Fast file transfer

  Cons

  Poorly managed emoticons
  Poorly managed avatars
  VERY poorly managed message notification

  Summary

  I have been using this product for a couple of years as mandated by my company. There are several annoyances with this messenger. Avatars are limited 8k (and Pandion does a poor job of resizing them) and emoticons can be VERY slow to load when you are trying to choose one. Also, this app has a tendency to crash without warning almost on a weekly basis. If your conversations are tabbed, it's possible to have too many separate conversations, and you can't select the excess conversations without expanding the size of your conversation window or closing other conversations. But the biggest annoyance is how arbitrary the new message alerts are. Even if you have "Popup New Messages" enabled, Pandion will only blink in the taskbar sometimes. Other times, the conversation window will interrupt you and appear on top of whatever else you happen to be working on, and sometimes it won't alert you AT ALL that you have received a new message. I've missed several critical messages as a result of this last problem.
