When is the app coming out and is it going to be called iPM?
 
This would actually be the best thing in the app store if it comes out! Is there an actual team building the app right now? do they have a website? How far along is the app? I love everything everyone said they want in it, and in addition, you would have to create a contact list system, and possibly a way of seeing if your contacts phones are on (much like bbm does with available and not available) I look forward to helping with this apps production. I would love a SMOOTH RUNNING IPM type application! SO Excited!!!!!!!! If you need bata testers or advise just ask!
Thanks
 
So you are telling me iPM is a whole nother app? I thought it was WhatsApp but with a name change. WTF.

So we have..

iPM
WhatsApp
!Ping

Any others yet? Ugh.

My thoughts exactly.

But honestly if this app doesn't come out soon it won't get much user base, specially if it's paid. Ping came out as free, lots of people started using it and now that it's paid people still get it because it's what all their friends are using. It's no the #1 paid social networking app even though it definitely needs some updates.
 
TIP: Your app will be the winner IF the UI mirrors the UI of the native Messages app. Then I'd be willing to pay even $10 for it.

P.S. No need for emoticons; there are Emojis.

it will not drain your battery any more than another app. If the app is closed then it doesn't drain battery. Only time the app itself uses battery is when it's running. And Push notifications are the same regardless of app. your logic is flawed i think.

Sure. Except that as soon as deleted Ping, battery function went back to normal. I didn't delete anything else or change any settings. So I get what your saying and I would probably concur except the real world situation is that Ping was draining my battery.
 
Which Icon looks better? lol just asking!

Honestly, I like all three. Though, refine your icon by making the background color a tad lighter for it to stand out from the iPhone background more. Right now, it's a bit too dark.

P.S. Can I follow your project on Twitter?

If the app is not running, how can it drain your battery?

Customizable font? Or at one that won't annoy. No comic sans or that darn felt marker font. Ariel, Helvetica, Veranda, or Apple stock please if there's only going to be one. 😛
 
Does this app have any features that SMS doesn't have!? Group chat, delivered/read status, file sending, location sending, status messages etc? If not, it's no better than Ping! or WhatsApp...both of which could be greatly improved as well.
 
Please not the serial number as the PIN!!!

It will be your serial number.

Honestly, I hope it's not the serial number of the iPhone. The one thing I hated about BBM was whenever I changed to a new BB, I had to announce to all my contacts on BBM of my new PIN. Very annoying and some users are too busy to immediately add.

To make it future proof or less hassle for the end user (ie upgrading iPhones every year or two), the PIN should be the ICCID which identifies the GSM SIM card as the SIM card goes with you...unless you switch carriers. You can get the ICCID in Settings > General > About.

Would be added bonus if you have a feature in your app to pull/copy the ICCID to share it out to other iPM users to add to their list.

SIM card's not a good idea either as there's always a new SIM card when one upgrades to a new iPhone.
 
Like everybody else, I hate the chat bubbles as well as the font. Why it is such a problem to mirror the native Messages.app bubbles, font type and size is beyond me. 😕
