Looks like a great update but it isn't showing up yet for me.....and just as I was used to MobileChat.
Yeah it does look great on the website but idk, if it really is better than chat then ill go for it but im not sure yet
It's in the installer now.
As DJMX said it is not an update, you must uninstall apollo, then install the new one.
It works great and looks great, but I had trouble editing my user name and had to delete my user name and re-enter my info. I had a typo and when I went back in to edit, it would not let me click the user name. I was able to finally get it to accept my password change click after a few tries, but not my user name.

I really like this new UI.
The only problem I see is that there is no indication of whether someone is online via regular settings or if they're on their mobile phone. I usually don't bother talking to folks when they're on mobile.

Having never used mobilechat, I decided to stick it on there. When you sign in to mobile chat apollo comes up and takes over, so I uninstalled apollo and signed back in to mobile chat.
It's much faster and easier to see and use with better options. So I guess this was not a successful update for apollo. As said before it seems meaty, heavy, and sluggish.

I would like these native apps to loose the "stay alive" feature as it drains the battery faster. What they should do is implement what flickim uses. Messages are left on the server while you are "away". You can even receive an IM or an email saying that you have messages (you only get one despite receiving multiple emails, which is good). This way you can always be "online" but you dont have to sacrifice the battery life. Stay online 24/7, only use battery life when your actively chatting.
Change log
Code:
* Added support for DotMac, ICQ, MSN in addition to AIM. Through libpurple.
* Buddylist notification of open conversation
* Multiple account sign on - I've been on 8 accounts at once, although, I wouldn't recommend more than 2-3 active accounts on edge, otherwise it gets slow real quick
* Sectioned buddy list by accounts
* Away / Unaway via the pretty green dot in the upper right. Tap it, turns red, you're away. Tap it again, turns green, you're back.
* Support for Alias'd buddy names.
* Support for Status Messages - shows up in the buddy list
* Time Stamps in conversation windows
* Removed Buddyinfo, for now
* Preparing to add a pane to "Settings" - eliminates need for "Prefs" button for us, will allow extended user options
* Completely brand new UI.
* Entire application is brand new, recoded from the bottom up. Stability should be amazingly enhanced.
* Wifi Keepalive still requires summerboard.anyone else having problems downloading Apollo? When I tried to download it, it says
" Error "
Package file size mismatch!
I already uninstall ApolloIM then install 1.0 and already have BSD Subsystem.

I mean like, i'm trying to download apollo from installer.app and that's when it says file mismatch. I'll try to restart the phone then install apollo
anyone else having problems trying to download apollo from installer.app? Mine still says file mismatch
I used EDGE, should I be using WIFI? One thing, when I tried to download, halfway through, it'll stop installing then said file mismatch. When installing, does it say 4mb? should it be less? Thanks
