IMO Messenger is an all-in-one messaging solution that takes the hassle out of communicating across different platforms.

IMO Messenger gives you a single app through which you can communicate with all of your contacts regardless of what platforms they use. There’s support for Facebook, Google Talk, AIM, ICQ and so forth, and the app even supports platforms that cater to niches, such as Steam. If you have a business associate contacting you via Google, Mom via Facebook and your buddy via Steam, those messages all come to one place where you can handle them accordingly. You can even configure how and when you’re notified.

You don’t have to worry about platforms. Your response to Mom will automatically go to Facebook and so forth. IMO also lets you take advantage of platform features. If a platform supports images and videos in addition to text chat, you can send and receive those as well. It also allows for voice calls and video calls. Conference calls, including across platforms, are possible too, and while it does support a large number of connections, performance can get a little iffy with large groups.

IMO Messenger is a work in progress. The good news is that the developers are quite active, and it’s not unusual to get several updates a week. There are some bugs and some high-demand features that aren’t there yet, and because this is a small dev team, those are slow to come. If you can deal with these minor annoyances for the time being, however, this is a fantastic messaging app that’s only getting better.
