Thank you to all our fans! *************************************
Want to message your friends for FREE like Blackberry Messenger? This is not another IM or SMS app. It's straight forward iPhone-to-iPhone messaging with push notifications. Stop dealing with IM systems that log you in and out. Forget about paying your carrier for text messaging.
Ping! is the simplest way to message your friends with an iPhone/iPod Touch. It uses a unique Ping! ID and sends messages for FREE! Have friends who have an iPhone but live in another country? No problem, Ping! messages will reach ALL iPhones and iPod Touches AROUND THE WORLD (ANY country!), for FREE!
************************************** WHY PING! BEATS SMS: ************************************** • NO MONTHLY COST. Why pay for data AND SMS bundles from your carrier?
• NO ROAMING CHARGES. Some apps offer free SMS, but are exclusive to the U.S, or support few other carriers. Ping! is always free, even when messaging overseas and works in ANY COUNTRY in the world.
• FASTER DELIVERY. Messages are not limited by your carrier's traffic. Notifications are delivered in an instant.
• WORKS WITH IPOD TOUCH. SMS only works with phones. Ping! works with iPhones, the iPod Touch, and other devices that Apple may offer in the future.
************************************* WHY PING! BEATS IM: ************************************* • NO NEED TO LOG IN/OUT. Why deal with the confusion of getting bumped off when you log in on another device? Your messages arrive in one place. Ping! keeps you connected at all times.
• NO NEED TO ADD FRIENDS and deal with the tedious process of accepting invitations. All you need is your friend's Ping! ID to start messaging IMMEDIATELY.
• OFFLINE MESSAGES GUARANTEED. Some IM apps do not support offline messages or only support it with specific software (e.g. MSN). All Ping! messages are stored offline until received.
************************************* Using Ping! ************************************* 1) INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO GET PING! - you can both save money and the hassle of messaging each other with IM or SMS.
2) Create a Ping! ID. This is your unique identifier and is required for sending messages. Make sure you choose an ID that you are willing to keep using and identifies you - it cannot be changed once created. SHARE THIS ID WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE AN IPHONE/IPOD TOUCH.
3) Ping! your friends - it's that simple!
THIS WILL BECOME YOUR MOST USED MESSAGING APP.
Tell your friends to Ping! you on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Good start   It's a good start but it needs a fair amount of development before it's useful. First and foremost there's no buddy list, which is kind of crazy. To message someone you have to create a new message and type their Ping! ID manually, or dig up an old conversation and pick up where you left off. Also, without contact status, read status or any functionality beyond text-only messaging, it really shouldn't be compared to BBM. Looking forward to seeing the functionality flushed out.

Only needs to Ping! Blackberries   Excellent app to communicate between iPhones and Touches, and only needs to Ping! Blackberries too.A bit of work needs to be done on things like increasing font size, buble colors, backgrounds and different Ping! sounds for each Friend.Apple should buy you out and implement Ping! like RIM has their BB Messenger !

Better than BBM!   This app is so cool. I'm starting to get all my friends into it. Many of whom come from blackberrys and are now on the iPhone and the one thing they all said was the hardest was that they lose bbm. Now they have ping and they love it. This is gunna spread. pole needs to make a commercial: switched from a blackberry to an iPhone and u miss bbm? Well there's an app for that! RIM would be so mad! Haha but some improvements are needed:
1) ability to save and sort friends
2) being able to send pictures/video
3)ability to search for friends by first/last name
4)adding a picture to ur profile
Other than that this is a really cool app and hopefully we will concert the blackberry users over to the iPhone and start Ping!ing away

Very good app gets improvements in 1.1   I've never had a need for texting, but now I do like communicating with a few people w/iPhones using Ping! - A nice interface that works well, faster than SMS with push notifications. The 1.1 updates include unregistering ID, fixed landscape, fixed duplicates, fixed notification settings icon, In-app inviation email, local languages added. The author is demonstrating a high energy in maintaining and improving the quality of the app. I can say except for the initial landscape issue, I've never had a problem using the app from the start. Sorry to see so many one stars from people that appear to have other connectivity issues, or rating low having expectations other than what is offered by the app. You'll like this.

Saves me $10 per month   Pretty much all my friends and colleagues have a iPhone (yay, Silicon Valley), and we use SMS a lot. Or better: used. We've all switched to Ping for day to day messaging. Instead of $15 for the 1500 msg per month plan, I can now switch back to $5 for the 200 plan. Not a bad deal!
Some small bugs initially but they seem to be gone in the updated version. Will be 5 stars if it can do everything of the real SMS app (contact management, forwarding, multiple receivers).

Functional enough.. For now   UPDATE 10/13/09: GREAT UPDATE! Still got some more expectations to fulfill to mirror/exceed BBM functionality but with updates like these, PING! is heading in the right direction! Keep it up!
Does what it says. MAKE SURE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS ARE ON!!!
I agree with mentioned reccomendations to truly mimic/exceed BBM functionality:
1. Buddy list
2. Message status update
3. Bug-free landscape mode
4. MMS
5. Etc...
Update soon!!! Good 1.0!!!

Great app, but...   This is a great app but it needs to have a native address book so you don't have to remember your friends usernames or keep the conversations open
