ICQ New: Messenger & Chat App Reviews

Hi ICQ team and everybody. I have my account 74420407 since I was teenager. I really like ICQ and I hope it never stops! I installed it in my mac, but for a reason unknown it doesn’t accept characters like “ç, é, ã, etc.”. These characters are commonly used in the portuguese language, so it’s necessary support to these characters. Everything else is great! I recommend this application!

Don’t know why, but the app is not all in English. Some parts are ok, but when connecting to Facebook or searching for other users by region is not in English. It is in some language that I don’t know, maybe russian. I really love ICQ n’ really hope the resolution! Good luck, ICQ Team!

Hi ! I download the ICQ on my mobile and iPad and it is perfectly working. However, I try to type my mobile number to login on my desktop and the ICQ does not have (+55) as an option before the number. Then I can’t login with my mobile number from Brazil. You have only USA, Russia, and other nationalities. I hope you correct it soon. I would like to use my mobile number as the login option in all my devices. Thank you.

you describe how to change photo on your website. But there is no edit option. !?!?

Polish.

Ive waited for this client for long-long years. Now my wait is over.

It’s OK, but sometimes it gave me error messenger, don’t know why.

Its great to see possibility of adjusting font size in chat - my wife is happy now!

I installed it on my Mac but it doesnt work! SO bad!

The latest update renders ICQ not-functional. I already opened a support ticket with ICQ, but they did absolutely nothing passed already 2 weeks since report. Dont update! And if you havent installed yet, dont bother to do so. This was the review I wrote for version 1.1.0: The venerable Israeli-born ICQ is the messenger that got most of the internet old timers to learn what is IM (Instant Messaging) about. But other rivals came through offering more and interesting features (MSN, Skype, Yahoo!) or integrated with big internet portals/services (AIM, Google Talk) and the ICQ started to lose track. With it’s purchase by Mail.ru, a new future was set and finally Mac users have a version updated to the new days. But unfortunately it’s feature set is limited. It lacks so basic stuff that it’s hard to believe it. What’s bad about it: — Quite limited set of ASCII characters supported (so no accents, diacritics and not even a so necessary and simple apostrophe) — No file transfer — Very limited amount of emoticons/emotions supported and the ones that exist have very ugly design — Extremely complicated keyboard comands or unnecessarily out of standard for simple emoticons (Examples are flower (@}>—), Music ([:-}), Kiss (:-{} ) — No way to share your screen on video calls — No individual chat windows (following the bad example set by Skype since it’s version 5) — Impossible to edit your own profile — Sound adjustments are limited to either on or off, and that’s it (although they have a plus to have kept a mastered version of it’s iconic “uh-oh”) What’s good about it: — Audio and video codecs provide better quality than Skype, and is more reliable too — Support to other messaging systems, specially Vkontakte which is almost necessary if you want to contact to Russians — Simple interface It has much to improve to become a program on par with it’s similars, but it’s audio/video quality and support to VK makes it interesting to some people already.

After the update, it’s not working!

I love this app, it’s so light and stable, i haven’t used it enough to tell if it has any bug, but for now i can say I love it!!

I have the latest version and I do not get any profile images. I have gone to the site and updated mine but the client does not show the update.

Thanks for the update!

This is ICQ going back to their roots before AOL! Light and elegant IM client. Just add back the custom status icons/ messages and give us the option to separate the messages window from the contacts list window. I wish Windows version would use a similar design.
