WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform smartphone messenger currently available for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Nokia phones. The application utilizes push notifications to instantly get messages from friends, colleagues and family. Switch from SMS to exchange messages, pictures, audio notes and video messages with WhatsApp users at no cost. All features are included without the need for extra in-application purchases.

*************************************
WHY USE WHATSAPP VS. OTHER SOLUTIONS:
*************************************

* NO HIDDEN COST: Once you and your friends download the application, you can use it to chat as much as you want. Send a million messages a day to your friends for free! WhatsApp uses your Internet connection: 3G/EDGE or Wi-Fi when available.

* MULTIMEDIA: Send Video, Images, and Voice notes to your friends and contacts.

* GROUP CHAT: Enjoy group conversations with your contacts.

* NO INTERNATIONAL CHARGES: Just like there is no added cost to send an international email, there is no cost to send WhatsApp messages internationally. Chat with your friends all over the world as long as they have WhatsApp Messenger installed and avoid those pesky international SMS costs.

* SAY NO TO PINS AND USERNAMES: Why even bother having to remember yet another PIN or username? WhatsApp works with your phone number, just like SMS would, and integrates flawlessly with your existing phone address book.

* NO NEED TO LOG IN/OUT: No more confusion about getting logged off from another computer or device. With push notifications WhatsApp is ALWAYS ON and ALWAYS CONNECTED.

* NO NEED TO ADD BUDDIES: Your Address Book is used to automatically connect you with your contacts. Your contacts who already have WhatsApp Messenger will be automatically displayed under Favorites, similar to a buddy list. (You can of course always edit Favorites any way you like)

* OFFLINE MESSAGES: Even if you miss your push notifications or turn off your iPhone, WhatsApp will save your messages offline until you retrieve them during the next application use.

* STATUS: Use the status feature of WhatsApp to inform your contacts if you are busy, in a meeting, at the gym, or available for a chat.

* AND MUCH MORE: Share location, Exchange contacts, Custom wallpaper, Custom notification sounds, Landscape mode, Precise message time stamps, Email chat history, Broadcast messages and MMS to many contacts at once and much much more!

instaDM
Co-Work
Genre: Social Networking
Price: $1.99
Release Date: March 29, 2012

IMPORTANT: You need to have an Instagram account *before* downloading this app.
- Do you have an instagram account? Ok, keep reading, you're gonna like this.

If you're like me, at least once you've wanted to start a private conversation with another instagramer, clicked every button on the interface and couldn't find how. Why? because it's not possible. But don't worry.

instaDM allows you to chat privately with other instagram users.

A full featured chat client that works out of the box (or App Store should I say?) with your instagr.am username and password. You can start chatting with any user on instaDM in less than 1 minute.

Some of the features include:
- Push notifications
- Favorites contact list
- Search for any instagramer
- Private conversations

Download it now, and if you like it: rate it 5 stars. If you don't, please be clear on your review so we can improve it!

[Q&A]
Q: When will it be available for android?
A: Soon, in the meantime they can use http://app.insta.dm/

Q: How can I tell which friends have instaDM?
A: When you're adding a contact the button should read 'Add'. Else you have to invite her/him.

Q: Why do I have to add each friend individually?
A: Because we're dumb, the experience will improve on the next update.

Q: Why does the message I've sent says 'pending'?
A: Because the receiver doesn't have instaDM installed. You should invite him/her first.

Q: Why do you ask for donations?
A: The money is used to pay for services needed to keep instaDM running. And food for developers.

[FREE WEB APP]
Ok, let's say you've read all this way and you're still not sure if you should buy it. Then open http://app.insta.dm/ with safari and try the free web app, it's pretty cool too.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

* A NOTE ABOUT COMPATIBILITY WITH NON-iPHONE USERS: Sharing images with Facebook, Twitter and Email works with pretty much anyone, but depending on what cell network and type of cell phone the person you're sending to has, some of the images you send via text messaging may not work. This has nothing to do with the app, but is a factor of the compatibility between: 1) the iPhone, 2) your network provider, 3) the other person's network provider, and 4) the other person's cell phone. See http://clipish.net/support for more details.

* EMOJI ICONS: To turn on, go to Help tab and Settings. Emoji icons can only be viewed by other iOS users.

* SAVING ANIMATIONS: Limitation with iPhone (NOT the app) will cause Animations saved to your device's photo library to be saved as a still image.

* FAST INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED: Due to the server communication (which lets this app have powerful features that other apps don't have), this app requires an Internet connection and works best for users with a strong signal or WiFi connection.

* A NOTE TO FAMILIES: This app accesses Internet content, but filters out adult content. For the strongest protection, set your rating filter to Strict, or get the Family Edition of CLIPish.

* A NOTE ABOUT ANIMATIONS ON FACEBOOK: You can send all the Animations found in app to Facebook, but Facebook converts all animations to still images. Facebook does not allow animations to "play" on their site.

Some images featured are public domain. If you believe your work has been included in err, please let us know so it can be removed immediately.
