CHADCN Don't listen to comments like this. He obviously has a hated for all things AOL and has prejudged this product without using it. I have used it for quite some time and it is a great piece of software. Yes there are alternatives which allow you to use multiple services at once (Adium). However if you are looking to only use the AIM messaging service, this app is MUCH better than anything else out there, Adium included.

BOUSOZOKU It's interesting that Check for Updates doesn't seem to find anything. For the last update, I waited about a week and it still told me what I had was the latest. It seems to be the same functionality that's in RapidWeaver and Cyberduck so it works when used properly. It's just interesting that AOL can't get things right. The IM functionality is good, if a bit late after, what, 8 years?

TIM.DEHRING If you have the final version, it won't update to the beta version (which this is, according to the AOL website). Also, if you have the beta version installed, it won't update to the final version. That's what was posted on their blog when version 2 was released.

I wasn't trying to find a beta, I was trying to find the next stable release, which had been out for days. It's the same way with the latest two stable releases. It's as though they're not entering the information on the other end so when it checks it will find something.

ROBERT Despite all the vitriol here, I'm seeing huge improvements in the official Mac client. Can this one format spaces in your screen name? Or do we still need to keep 4.7 around for that? I'm not going to lie; like many, I don't actually use the official client, but it's great to have a decent one, anyhow--even if you personally only use it to set up various small features of your account before switching to Adium.

OVIPAS lifestream addition is a big enhancement, however it seems that it doesn't allow for ICQ contacts to add a twitter or facebook account. no possibility to use iTunes song like a status message, which is a standard now for any IM application on macs. still no A/V capabilities :(

KAWAII There are lots of things that don't make sense about AOL - with the top being, "why the hell do they still exist". They should die just like Prodigy, Voyager, CompuServe and other organisations that have no relevance any more.

JUSTANTHRGUYHERE AOL! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP THE INSANITY! This product is an insult to the Mac and the Mac community! I have both a Mac and Windows so I know what this is missing and it's nothing more than a prettier version on AIM 6 years ago!!!!! Whoa! Sorry you added SMS! WOW! Just stop!

ST00P!D M0NK3Y This is way better now than it used to be compared to the old joke of an application. Having said that... this program is a steaming pile of cow dung. Since there is no audio/video chat support... still... after years and years and years... this application is virtually useless. With alternatives such as Adium... and even Apple's default iChat... which needs a lot of work too, but at least there's audio/video chat... there's no point in disgracing your hard drive with this garbage.
