	Apr 15 2009	JEFFISHERETOO 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! (Version 1.5b2)		+9

	Mar 16 2009	ROG360 Why not just go with online only and support iChat 100% in the future.If your this far behind the game, You better pick a better position... :) At least there's not advertising in it... (Version 1.5b1)		+8

	Mar 7 2009	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.

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Because they're lazy and don't care. I mean... look at this version of AIM for Mac... it's a joke as you've noticed. I agree with you though... AOL should work with Apple to make iChat better... at least in regards to the AIM portion of iChat. I can barely connect a third of the time with video chat to other friends using AIM. It's always flawless when it's iChat to iChat. Meh...

	Jan 31 2009	JEFFISHERETOO I can't say it better than it's been said already other than to point out that this is nothing more than the IM part of the equally non-sense AOL Desktop for Mac just ripped out for a twofer deal for AOL. While I am glad to see them doing anything at all for the Mac I am baffled by their continued inability to sync the feature sets for the Mac and Windows products after almost 5 years of nothing. This is why AOL is no longer a player and should just close up shop once and for all. Sad. (Version 1.1b1)		+2

	Dec 15 2008	THREEDEE912 I have to say, I'm surprised that AOL is still updating it's Mac client. It's a tad slow and still a little buggy, but the interface is clean, and you can chat to people fine. It's not on par with Adium yet, but it's a lot better than that ancient v4.7 back from 2003 or whatever. (Version 1.0)		+2

	Nov 25 2008	TOMIS Dear AOL. Start by being feature complete against iChat (audio/video), have a clean user interface (kill the style bar), and then improve from there. Save your bandwidth. There's no reason to choose this over iChat. (Version 1.0b5)		+2

MYSTICALOS I agree. Why release something when it's still inferior to the competition. You want people to take it seriously, bring it's feature set up to par with the others first then get it out there. This client hasn't even caught up to 2001 yet when voice was becoming standard in most IM clients.

	Oct 21 2008	PATDDFAN88 This is the only piece of software you'll never need to install on your Mac! Apple has included AIM with Mac OS X since 10.0, and it is a waste of time! Also, I suggest you get Adium instead. it's the best AIM client out there, and it also lets you chat with MSN, Google, and Yahoo users too! Sorry AOL, but you might as well tell people that your software is dead! (Version 1.0b2)		+1

PERSON1229 Some people may prefer a change in interface over iChat.

You should be a little nicer to the company that's trying to reach out to Mac users after they'd been whined at for years.
