Only thing i wish it had was typing notification. I believe Palringo has this, and it's pretty handy. Otherwise, it's a great app.

Edit: Searched through their forums, looks like they don't want to implement typing notification due to battery issues (lots of data transmission for this feature). I'd still rather have it, but maybe with an option to disable it and disabled by default.

You need MobileMe for this app to work? What's up with that??

You don't need MobileMe. You can have it even text you when you haven't opened the chat.
Example for US at&t users, add <yourcellnumber>@txt.att.net and it will text you when new chats come in.

I do have a question. If an unsolicited chat comes in and you want to block the user, when I go in and click on "Block User", it doesn't change. It doesn't really give you a confirmation that they have been blocked. The people I have blocked never chatted me since, so I guess it's working. A little feedback on that would be nice.

I originally balked at paying the money for it, but it's well worth it. It's worked close to perfect for me since I installed it.
