Imo Messenger for Mojave Review:

With the internet, everyone can connect to friends, family, and co-workers instantly, and talk with them no matter where you are or what device you are using, but an increasing number of popular chat protocols can lead you to the situation that your contacts are dispersed over several chat programs and web services, making maintaining connection to them a cumbersome and demanding job.

To alleviate that problem and make your chat messaging as easy as possible, you need to consider using the app, a very good multi-protocol chat messenger that is currently accessible via its very useful web interface and as a standalone iPhone, iPad, and Android app.

Established in 2007, this website from Palo Alto, California, managed to increase its popularity with each passing year, always offering the latest advances in technology and user interface that enable users to easily access not only text chat tools but also audio and video chat. To enable all of its user base to more easily meet people by broadcasting themselves, the app continues to attract more people.

Overview

The basic function of Imo is not that different from many other multi-protocol chat services, although here you will most definitely feel that its user interface and ease of use are one notch better than you can find elsewhere. After creating a free account, you will instantly be able to access all of its features.

All that you need is a modern internet browser (any will do) and a microphone/web camera if you want to communicate using sound and video. Currently supported chat services are Google Talk, Facebook Chat, Skype, ICQ, Jabber, AIM, MySpace, Yahoo Messenger, VKontakte, Hyves, and more.

The functionality of the web version is also present in iOS and Android apps, with the ability to have multiple chats at the same time, access to all chat networks, and more.

As with all other popular chat programs, Imo for Mojave fully supports real-time syncing between devices, enabling you to effortlessly switch from web interface to mobile device, never losing anything. For maximum interaction with friends, you can also install a Chrome extension that will send you instant notifications of new messages, no matter if you are logged on the Imo website or not.

Sadly, Imo does not feature plugins that can enable it to directly access your email inbox of famous online mail providers, and you cannot use it to get Facebook and Twitter real-time updates, making it a little less desirable if you want to truly make it a center of your daily communication with the world.



Interface

The interface of the tool is very modern, fast, and clutter-free, enabling everyone to instantly start connecting their newly created account to the wide variety of available chat networks and managing their contact list that can easily grow to the 200+ range.

All the tools for managing your contacts and current chats are always close, with great focus on functionality that will be appreciated by both novices and professionals. The interface of Imo also scales down to displays, enabling easy control of iOS and Android apps, and making your transition between devices effortless and fast.
