IM2 Instant Messenger for Windows

User Reviews

• Horrible piece of thing

  siriuscanidSeptember 2, 2010

  Pros

  I could not find even one pro.

  Cons

  It could not even connect to msn. I uninstalled it with Revo, and that was a catastrophe. I had to restore the system because it erased great deal of my reg.

  Summary

  I rarelly write reviews, but this time I felt like it was necessary to do it.

• Doesn't work with Windows 7 (64-bit)

  spartainApril 24, 2010

  Pros

  None that I can tell because it didn't work in my operating system.

  Cons

  Not compatible with Windows 7 (64-bit).

  Summary

  Installation went okay. I then chose to add a Yahoo account via the wizard. That went okay. Then after the wizard cended I launched the program, and that's where it faltered. The interface came into view with my account name visible, and then an alert box: 'Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Buffer overrun detected! ' the alert went on to advise that the buffer overrun has "corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated." Update urgently required.

• Horrid interface

  Alec_CAugust 19, 2009

  Pros

  Connects to a decent number of messaging protocols

  Cons

  Looks horrid IMO Couldn't figure out how to sign in to my accounts (maybe I'm being dumb, but this should be REALLY REALLY intuitive)

  Summary

  There are plenty of other better messaging clients out there. I prefer Digsby and Pidgin for multi-protocol clients and Windows Live Messenger for MSN. Skip this piece of junk.

• NICE interface. BAD connections

  TigrrrTamerMay 12, 2008

  Pros

  The interface looks nice. Somewhat familiar to Pidgin users... makes me wonder. Nice minimalistic approach. Everything is well organized.

  Cons

  It doesn't work. Will connect and then you are thrown out again, from MSN and Yahoo and ICQ. ICQ reports obsolete chat client version, while the other networks just disconnect you. Isn't good!

  Summary

  null<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 3, 2009<p/>downloaded new copy today, I forgot I had tried this before. ERROR MESSAGE: PROTOCOL VERSION NOT SUPPORTED BY OUR SERVERS. WHY DON'T THEY UPDATE THEIR PROTOCOLS TO WORK WITH MSN AND YAHOO? Like all the other chat clients? If development is dead, then remove it from downloads!

  Nice interface, no spyware.Free. Works ok but very buggy from time to time. Still I prefer this over Trillian

• Average program. Unprofessional company

  stefan0325February 18, 2006

  Pros

  Combines all messengers. Free

  Cons

  Have not been able to download the application from IM2s website for the last 4 days. The link to their forum also does not work. Have e-mailed several times, no response, still not fixed. This gives a very unprofessional image. <p>To use videochat other party must also have IM@, cannot videochat with MSN, Yahoo members.

• Almost good

  DannyPCFebruary 2, 2006

  Pros

  Well, it is very customizable, the interface has a pleseant feel to it, and i like the way it handles multiple accounts.

  Cons

  they just need to clean the code of it up. it keeps crashing for bogus reasons, or for no reason at all, and this is on a brand new system with a fresh install of xp pro. even the spyware that killed my old system didn't crash as much as this thing does. if they could just get those huge bugs out of it, this would be a great app. until then, i would avoid it like salmonela from a platypus who can't spell.

• Highly unrecommendable!

  vig04_117January 30, 2006

  Pros

  Has no adwares/spywares...Thats all!

  Cons

  This works the first time when u install this and then it slows down on the very second time..Highly unstable...And u can not put smileys in ur messages as the moment u click on the icon, it freezes ur whole comp. <p>Needs quite a lot of improvment!!

• Good attempt, but buggy as hell.

  CableguyTKJanuary 21, 2006

  Pros

  Its free. <p>Another alternative to GAIM and Trillian in the department of multinetwork chat clients. <p>Skinnable. <p>Very customizable. <p>Not a resource hog.

  Cons

  Buggy as hell. <p>Lacks a lot of features you can find not only in the official clients, but GAIM and Trillian. <p>Requires a LOT of time and patience to setup the program to your liking.

• It's not Trillian, but gets the job done.

  JyakotuJanuary 7, 2006

  Pros

  IM2 is very easy to use and configure. It saved me from downloading AIM, YIM, and MSN to my computer making me save space. It has nice look and you can download new skins for it. It also gives you the power of tabbed IMing.

  Cons

  I wish that each protocol had it's own seperate window, instead of them having them all in one window. You can't download skins for the current version yet. I want to get a new skin, but it's taking way too long!
