IM+ Talk 1.2 - iPhone - iPod Touch - 301184235 Category: Social Networking Author: SHAPE Services Vote(s): 1206 Price: $4.99 Released: February 02, 2009 Version: 1.2 Download IM+ Talk Get IM+ Talk for $4.99
IM+ Talk - SHAPE Services
With IM+ Talk you can:
- Exchange instant text messages with your Skype contacts;
- Call any landline or mobile phone cost-efficiently using Skype credits;
- Call Skype contacts;
- Receive calls from Skype contacts and calls to your SkypeIn number;
- Get full presence status support.
HOW IT WORKS
When you make a call both the contact person and you will get the call. This is because when you use IM+ for Skype you are actually making two calls: one – to your Skype contact on PC or to a phone number and another – to your callback number.
IM+ for Skype uses callback technology and requires Skype Credits or Skype subscriptions.
This product uses Skype™ but is not endorsed or certified by Skype 2009 SHAPE Services

Please FIX this!!! I bought this ap and so far it has lived up to the reviews that MOST of the users have posted. It is slow, works half the time, and there is no voice at the other end. I would very much like to see this fixed so that I can use skype on my itouch, or I would like my money back.

Wouldn't even rate it 1 star. Neg 5 Wasted my money an time. I had a subscription service with skype years ago with no problem. Got another one an cant make 1 call!! They have to phone number to contact for tech support either. Biggest scam I've ever seen. I'm denying the charges to my credit card bill.

Wow! I can't believe it's not SKYPE! Sorry! I lied. It's the first time I want to have my $0.99 returned from Apple store right away. The program runs so slow even IM. I want to pay $10.00 to buy a SKYPE software proformed like the one on my PC.

at least it works fwell or me I was waiting for Skype app for a while, and pretty much scared by all Previews here, but I believe App Store would NOT allow real crap in their Store (they previewed and tested all apps sold here in advance).Today, this app is on sale ($0.99), I bought one, guess what? Surprisingly it works, and very well! I could not figure out how people failed here, there is one thing really different between Skype-PC (at your home) and Skype-iPhone (thru IM+), IM+ just uses your Skype account and hooks your phone (either cell or any line phone, you can pick when you dial) with destination thru Sarafi, and did NOTHING with Skype connection / call quality issues.I am NOT IM+ people, just want guys here to know, It REALLY works for me, almost perfect.

The real truth about this APP. I purchased IM for Skype many months ago. At the time it was not an APP for the iphone per se but an interactive web site that could be used with Safari and was therefore formatted for the iphone. I have talked to my friends in other countries for many hours--phone to phone-- using this service. The rates are very very good. As far as I can find, there is currently nothing to compare this technology to. I have noticed over the last few weeks that the ability to connect to Skype and to get a call-back has gone from near 100% to perhaps 20% of the time. This decrease in efficiency is coincident with the selling of this application at the Apple store. I purchased the application in hopes of improvement but the efficiency is still poor. When I connect, things work fine but getting connected is troublesome. I hope that these problems represent growing pains for the company and nothing long term. I rated this APP 4 stars because of my previous experience with the product and because these guys are pioneering this concept. I feel very happy giving my money to Skype and not the gouging SOBs at the local telecom company. That said, Shape Services better get their act together soon because as of now their service is in bad shape.

Worthless software Read the description carefully. This software does absolutely nothing the other FREE versions from other developers can't do. It's the biggest waste of $10 I've spent in the App store.Even if you have an unlimited Skype plan making calls from your phone will use your minutes. So what's the point? You get a crappier call quality and still pay for cell minutes.I contacted the company to ask for a refund and was sent a form letter response basically telling me how to use the software (instructions which just verified that even if used as they recommend the software provides no real value).STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE! Even at their new "reduced" price!

Works! I don't know why all the people complain about this application. I have been using this application for months now and it always worked!!!
I tried the other Voip applications and this one was the best!
I have to make international calls very often so I really know what I'm talking about.

Beware – too buggy, read reviews before you buy! Recommendation: Wait until app is fixed. Use Jajah.com for VOIP cheep international phone-to-phone, much more reliable and good call quality. If you can't wait to use IM+ : try it free for 10days: in Safari go to http://shapeservices.com/s4iphone and try the web version first!!! Do not repeat my mistake :( I realized very late that the application haven't been updated since it was released in 2007. Shape Services are playing a shady game of changing prices giving the impression that there is activity and new versions ... they never actually updated!!!Amaizingly Shape Services have extremely negative reviews for all their applications ... and yet, those are unbelivably popular?! Opviously they have very good understanding of what is needed ... why they don't hire couple of capable programmers to fix the apps and make ton of money - beets me ...IM+ for Skype feedback:- Don’t hold your breath for response from Customer “Service” : you will be ignored. Hey they don't have staff to fix their bread and butter, why do you think there is anyone to follow up on ton of negative mail? Well, if you hasitate: why don't you just try to click on their so called Support button above? I get always 404 error ... no such site. Actually, I tried to contact support through their web site ... no reply for 4 weeks.- Extremely unreliable service. Can’t connect average 4 of 5 times. You will get sick of message:”Disconnected. Reason: Connection failed” … 5 minutes after it was displaying: “Connected. Loading Contact list”. Takes 5-10 minutes to connect some time … rarely can connect for ~ 45 sec. Application often crashes. Regularly stalls on calls to phones- Takes forever to download contact list. does not recognize Skype cathegories. Should have an option to keep the skypeout list locally so that it does not have to download it.- Phone calls (when you are lucky to connect) lack quality, most of the time you can’t really have a conversation and have to excuse yourself constantly that you are using this service.- SHAPE charges for the ringing time. The charges start rolling the moment you pick YOUR phone, even if the other party is not there to pick up the other phone … and there is actually no phone call. Shameless!?- Replaces your mood text with IM+ advertisement … and keeps doing it. Should give option to disable it- In Chat: spelling auto correction stays for 15 sec … very frustrating if you use different language in chat ... and pressing "x" does not go through ... so you must wait ...- “Events” button is useless. It never works, always empty even if you are in a chat… obviously no events from PC Skype even if you have many - "Clear" button is useless: there is nothing in events list to clear- “Log out" Button is useless. Even when you log out … it still overwrites you mood - “Status” button does not show your status, but gives you option to change it (this works)- “Phone Book” function is useless. It does not load your Skypeout list. If you put names and phones … it clears them every time when you get out of the application. If you put a phone number, it does not add it to your skypeout list.- Does not save your chats in the PC chat history … actually your PC skype will have no trace of any IM+ activityI will write a better review if the problems get fixed ... wait, extremely negative reviews and no update since 2007 ... I don't think I will have a chance to write a better review, I have no hope for an update :(

Missed the mark The whole point of Skype is free voice to data to voice calls. This application does not provide this at all. The name should be IM plus $$$ Plus data = works sometimes.
Worst application yet.

WOW what miserable a failure on the part of SHAPE Service! I purchased this about an hour or so ago.I have an Unlimited USA/Canada account, my own Skype Online Number, and the works from Skype.I run all of my business through the Skype system without any problems, so I fully understand how Skype works.However, this iPhone application by SHAPE Service is by-far the worst Skype attempt I've seen of anything out there for Skype.Here are the immediate failures by IM+ for Skype:(1) It takes 30+ seconds to connect...(2) Half the time it won't even connect... (9 times out of 10, it won't)(3) When it does connect it often takes 45 seconds to load our contacts list...(4) 9 times out of 10 the loading of the contact list takes so long it forces the software to logout and I have to try to re-login again.When it does happen to login, and when it does happen to load the contacts list...(5) The buttons are very very slow to respond...(6) I have tried at least two dozen times to connect to different landline numbers and it stalls out in "Calling..." every time....(7) I have tried at least one dozen times to connect to different cellphone numbers and it stalls out in "Calling..." every time...(8) I have tried to call my Skype Online Number at least a half-dozen times from both a landline and a cell phone and it fails...(9) Stalls... Stalls... Stalls... Stalls... Stalls... Stalls... Stalls... Stalls...I have made sure none of my computers are connected to Skype.I restarted my iPhone after I installed it.In essence, this application in its present state is a complete 100% total failure!!!Sure do which I could get my money back.... and I hope nobody else buys this and has to suffer through what I have. Learn from my experience... don't waste your 10 bucks on this app! - IM+ Talk review by Yokhannan
Doesnt work. There is no audio on either side. Cannot hear nor can be heard. No proper dial pad either. Good idea, but needs serioua work. Very expensive. - IM+ Talk review by Kenny2525
andresito's way i can't hear the other person on the other side what gives come on im+ get it right asap - IM+ Talk review by Donno Org.
Do not get swindled This app is worthless. It calls the cellular phone and the dialed phone simultaneously to connect. It does not integrate the iPhone contact list. It uses a web app that may be accessed through Safari. Please do the right thing and do not sponsor this unethical company. - IM+ Talk review by Application Review
