Hello! - iPhone Messenger (Blackberry & Android coming soon!)
- Thread starter 10andrew10

1. Migrating your friends to Hello! is actually very easy. Since we detect friends based on their phone number and email address - adding you new friends is a piece of cake.
2. Base Functionality, Whatsapp has been around for over a year. And if you look at their growth it is not very significant - they have not made any improvements besides adding photos and video which is something people use, but not an every day must have.
Hello! IS going to have voice, video, location, etc but at the immediate moment we are focusing on making 'MESSAGING' for the first few releases. Voice is great but isn't the whole reason you message someone to not talk .... Don't worry all the features will be coming soon!
And not to be nitpicky, but can you make the bubble on the icon a little wider, like that of TextNow. I think it looks SIGNIFICANTLY better.
3. In the future we will support the ability to select a color scheme. We worked really hard to make Hello! fast and efficient. I am happy to see you noticed that.
I hope you Enjoy Hello! and get all of your friends to join. As I mentioned before, Hello! will be available for Blackberry and Android soon. Both versions are BEAUTIFUL!
Darn, that's unfortunate. My family and I are HUGE video message users. I hope you can integrate video messaging sooner than later. I am really looking forward to using the group chat. I promise you I will purchase the non-ad version once video messaging appears.

We will get the video transfer added in pretty quickly
Group Chat already works if you and your family have Hello! - You should try it out, it works really nice.
I will take a look at textnow and see what we can do.
Thanks for your feedback, we really value it greatly. Everyones comments will be considered for future releases. We are hoping Apple approves the update tomorrow.

Hey Andrew, great app!
I have a question for you. I originally got the free app and set up and account using a PIN. I then purchased the ad free version and tapped the already have an account button. Now when I try to sign in using my email address, it does not work. The app just stays at the "Email address provided at registration" screen after I click next.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Andy
Update:
Ok, I just tried it again and now it is working!
Love the app!

Hi Andrew,
We have hundreds of clients who are currently using BlackBerry's and are looking for an alternative to BlackBerry Messenger. I see that you have a beta for BlackBerry coming out soon. Is it possible to get added to the beta list? We would like to beta test it to give you feedback so that we can potentially use your app as a gateway for the ones that want to switch to an iPhone but still have access to "bbm" to the BlackBerry users.
I think you can send me a private message through this board, I was unable to send you a private message, this is my first post.
Very exciting!
Bradley

Hey! I hope I'm not reviving a dead thread here. I just joined in order to post about this app.
I am a Droid Incredible user and desperately need a group chat client I can use w/ my BlackBerry friends. I can't seem to find this app anywhere in my Market Place (searching for "Hello!" returns a LOT of results). Is it for sure in there?
I am VERY VERY excited to try out this app and I know a lot of people over in the Android world would too. If it gets the job done I will be spreading the word around like wild fire.

I also just signed up so I can post a comment & ask questions. I was wondering if this app is going to be on the Android Market? I read the earlier posts and it says in april it would be released. I have a T-Mobile My Touch 3G, and i searched the Android Market for Hello but NO RESULTS! I would love to see this app on the Market! Any hope for Android users? . .
