Much cooler than aim app

This app is burning with potential.. And it's only getting started.. It's cooler than the aim app, meaning by visiuals.. It isn't as fast or as moveable as the aim app.. But again it isn't as boring and dull as the aim app.. Way more inviting. I Dont like that the screen turns off, this signing me out... Both aim and yim apps have to work on ways to save battery power but maintain people online >:O.. Either way good app

I  this app

Work really well even when my ipod music is on. I like the landscape keyboard option, which AIM doesn't have. No ads at the bottom of the screen either. I don't see why ppl r complaining about Push notification, I found it for this app underSETTINGS My only suggestion is to have a group chat option, but I understand that could affect the app's performance. Maybe limit the chat to 4 ppl. OVERALL: GET IT!

PLS LISTEN

YM dudes! For Pete's sake look at ur reviews! My conncetion works most of the tym though. Anyway, this needs: 1. More features 2. Faster Connection 3. Ability to see whether someone is typinga msg lyk in the pc. 4. Be more Active with updating. The 1 n only update just removed a few bugs. The update itself said so. 5. Listen to ur reviewers! For features, I'd suggest making the app onlyn n always up unless I go invi or sign out. Wut i mean is, once I go on, I dont want to have to push in more data. Takes forever. I want to recieve messages while im not on d app. Dats the point of being online. I cant look at an interface too long to wait for someone or wait for an answer from my friend. It would b awesome if there wuz an option to see a popup wen someone is onlyn or wen i recieve a new msg. This is so that (once again), I dont hav to wait 'in' the app or hav to keep checking back (and connecting). Well.. Hope you UPDATE!

Great app, needs improvement.

This is a great messenger app. But it does have its flaws. I have compiled a list between a friend and I of everything we think is wrong with the app. If all of this stuff gets fixed it will be amazing!
-No support for landscape mode.
-App signs you out after ten minutes.
-Should be able to set for different times:
-As soon as it closes
-Ten Minutes
-Thirty Minutes
-One Hour
-Three Hours
-Six Hours
-Twelve Hours
-Twewnty-Four Hours
-Or something like that?
-Status turns to idle as soon as you close the app.
-Should be able to set for different times:
-As soon as it closes
-Five Minutes
-Ten Minutes
-Fifteen Minutes
-Thirty Minutes
-Never
-If you wanna sign in as invisible you have to check te box to do it every time. There should be an option to automatically have it checked every time you open the app.
-When you send a picture to someone who is on the Mac or PC messenger it needs to send a link to them to open the picture in an internet browser.
-Needs the option to display Names, Nicknames, or Screen Names.
-If you are in an SMS chat with someone and exit the chat screen when you go back to it you have to switch to SMS again.
If these problems get fixed this will be an amzing messenger application and I really wanna see it get all of these thigs fixed.
Thanks Yahoo, you did good.

It's all right!

Amazingly, Google fell flat on their faces with Google Talk, and for that matter their entire ipone app. It stinks. I decided recently to ditch my other Yahoo! app with all the options and go for the messenger. Hands down, this messenger is the best for one very important reason - to me at least. If someone IM's me and I'm offline, as with the PC version, you get your IM when you log back in. With Google, if your screensaver comes on, you're logged out and it's a pain to keep logging in and having to ask people to re-send their IMs.

WHERE'S THE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS? You answered with 1.2.1  
By: bhj6268 - Jul 23, 2009
Version: 1.2.1
THIS APP CLAIMED TO HAVE ENABLED THE PUSH NOTIFICATION FEATURE IN 1.2. THERE ISNT AN OPTION IN THE APP OR THE IPHONE SETTINGS TO ENABLE THIS FEATURE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THAT TO ME WOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE. PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As you can see by all the words in caps the first update for YIM that claimed push was enabled didn't have any way to activate it. This morning the App Store told me there was an update after only 2 days ago i had installed the previous update that was supposed to have push. I installed the app and just like AIM when I signed in it asked me if I would like to enable push notifications. Then I went to the settings and YIM was in the Notifications Menu with AIM. Thanks the push system is working flawessly I'm so happy. Now I don't need AIM, most of my friends and family have YIM. Yahoo your prompt attention to this problem will have me with YIM for years to come. Thank You!!!!

Amazing IM App. Very Useful for sending FREE TEXT MESSAGES TO YOUR FRIENDS, SIMPLE  
By: Spur Of the Moment Entertainment - Sep 21, 2009
Version: 1.2.3
This is exactly what you would expect from the other reviews. you can send free texts, and get their replies for free. For ATT subscribers, that alone can save you anywhere between $120 - $1000 over the life of your contract depending on the amount of texts you add on to your require iPhone plan.
Add that on to the Great Push Notifications, and the Landscape Keyboard, and you have a wonderful chatting/texting experience.
Simply put: Get it

Instant???

I think not. My biggest scorn with this app is how messages take extreme amounts of time to load upon trying to read them. Plus, time needs to be adjusted. Whenever someone sends a message, make sure the time they sent it matches up with the time I receive it. Example: I have been out some times, and when I come home I get messages from people who obviously didn't write 1 Minute Ago. In simple terms, include accurate timestamps.

Push Notifications is working..Why are you still reading this go download this NOWWW

Just installed update and tested push notifications with the wife and it works flawlessly!. Also noticed that now when u send an SMS there is a 140 word counter. They must have a limit for the SMS now. Stange but who cares. Now you don't have to waist $$$ on BS AT&T texing plans. just DL yahoo IM. Plus most people have yahoo IM on ther computer and a yahoo email account which both let you chat with your mobile phone! Very cool Yahoo.

Almost there!!!!

I found this to be my favorite messaging app however I'm running a iPhone 3G and I'm not sure if others are experiencing this issue where when I attempt to login sometimes the app starts however it crashes and close. One day it did it so much that I had to delete and reinstall the app. Now the issue with that is. Contacts who I may have added their name or numbers are now cleared and it seems as if this messenger doesn't sync with your yahoo addressbook if you modify a contact via Yahoo app. One other thing i found is the avators dont update or change as your contacts change them. The only way i can see the last avator is when i delete and reinstall the apps which then clears all the additional information i've added within Yahoo app. Other then that i love this app. So yahoo can you please investigate the constant crashing. Also I did restart my iPhone and that didn't resolve the crashing.My wish list is very short:• enable where you can view others avator at full screen• allow us to create and move IDs to other groups.• search for others in your area to chat.• view profiles with an yahoo internal web browser.• ability to change our avator.• enable or disable avator from list.• enable avator updatesThanks for the excellent app

Needs a lot of work!!

I'm a yahoo messenger user for 3 years and i was surprised when i saw this app on iphone!!wowww!BUTI'm very disappointed coz i couldn't find my friends that're using hotmail(windows live messenger).geesszz....and it's so very slow to connect specially ifyou have more than 50 contacts...i have 1000 contacts...how long it'll take to connect??forever??please fix this...Canada is always behind the lineee...geeeszzzzz

There is PUSH AND BUZZ here!!  
By: Xian09 - Dec 6, 2009
Version: 1.3
1st things first, this is a great app!! Everything you need while you're on the go. Plus it's FREE!!!2nd, i'm tired of reading complaints from other users saying there's no push or there's no buzz on this app. THERE IS!! There has always been even before the recent update. Then they give a poor rating coz they didn't do their homework on how this app works, instead just complain on how this app lacks push or buzz. For push, just go to your iphone settings > notifications > Y!Messenger > turn on sound and alert. If you have no notification tab, you need an iphone update..For buzz, go to the YM Settings on the app, and turn on SHAKE TO BUZZ...Just one comment/suggestion on the app, and it's about the timestamp. It should tell us when the message was sent not when the message was read ( like when i woke up and find 5 unread YM messages, i click it and it just says "just a minute" on the time ). Don't really care when i first read it, and i know almost everyone here agrees with me, just want to know when it was sent so that we'll know how long has it been since the person on the other end sent it or was waiting for our response.Other than that, great app! And you deserve five stars!!

Push?!  
By: graytman - Oct 5, 2009

Well I'm sort of disappointed but not suprised thy push isn't working even after 1.2 updates says it would I have the update and now I'm confused what happens where's my push I think that thy accidentally resubmitted 1.1 with 1.2 in it or something other than that an okay app all I ask is to fix this and to allow video sharing and music sharing if possible since they both are files and that might be a problem with the SDK so i don't know overall a fourstar app but I knock it down to three for this error in the update

Excellent!!!  
By: Go_Dawgs - Jul 22, 2009

Totally rocks!!!! Absolutely love the push notification!!! Five stars and would give more if I could! Thank you Yahoo! Thank you! I may never have to pay AT$T for another text messege ever again! Oh, and yahoo messenger can send photos. Amazing how yahoo can do it but AT$T drags their feet on mms. Yeah Yahoo!!!! Excellent app!!! Thanks again!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It works, and I'm glad to have it, but there is a lot of things that need to be improved upon...too many to actually go through and list, but the bottom line is I can instant messege with friends. I am hopeful that when apple releases 3.0 and push technology Yahoo IM will improve. All in all Yahoo instant messenger is a useful app that can be vastly improved upon. Totally worth the "free" download.

Great Free App!  
By: DejaSmiles - Oct 2, 2009

This app is perfect for me because I only talk to three people on y! messenger. I love it when I'm listening to music and talking to my boyfriend, because sometimes he takes awhile to write back, so I'll go do something else on my iPod and get a Push Notification immediately when he writes back, it shows what he said, and I can quickly hit the reply button. I wouldn't recommend this app for someone who uses this messenger 24/7 because it may be a hassle talking to more than one person at once.

idk wat happened

this app was great until 1 day i went to go on it, when it was loading everything on there as u no it does that in the begining but it usally take like a few seonds. but when i did it it took forever and till this day it still is taken for ever to load everything. and it wouldnt let me go on so then i re bought it and it still does the same thing so it was good but idk cuz it dont work for me n e more :((

Perfect Push  
By: Zc456 - Jul 22, 2009
Version: 1.2.1
Unlike my past review of Yahoo Messenger, I gave it a 4 stars cause of its lack of Push. Its a great messenger, no doubt, and is slightly designed better then AIM. Now with the new 1.2.1 (was supposed to be 1.2) update that includes Push and slew of other features we've been waiting for to make it as close to the desktop then other device. Now I can say this is the best mobile messenger experience ever.
Best part is, you can stay online with up to 2 weeks. :)

The BEST IM app. Version 1.2.1 is working FLAWLESS w/PUSH!!  
By: JailbreaK! - Jul 22, 2009
Version: 1.2.1
Push is working flawless on this new version. Buzz works geat - open up a new chat and shake your iPhone. Delete the app and reinstall to get the new updated version. This is a great full featured Yahoo! Messenger app with SMS and you stay logged in for 2 WEEKS. Its fast too on my 1st gen iPhone I get logged right in. Just wish that landscape was available in the whole app instead of just the chat window. Thanks Yahoo! for fixing the push problem quickly. This is def a 5 star app now!

Great App! Best download yet, by far!  
By: Hazzard County - Sep 8, 2009

Please add push notification. That'd make it a 5 star for sure. :-) 7-24-09: push is awesome! Never had any probs with app before & none now. All functions including sending/receiving pictures works really well! So happy to have the push...AWESOME!!!!!! 7-25-09: only downfall I've encountered is when my phone is on vibrate it doesn't vibrate to notify me of an incoming message. Other than that...woohoo, greatness!! 9-7-09: everything is great! Push notification is AWESOME! However, the last couple of days I've been getting a message that "due to inactivity I've been signed out". How do I get it to stop signing me out. Once that happens push does NOT work. I want o stay signed in no matter how ling I'm inactive. Help???
