This is the mobile messaging application we’ve all been waiting for. AgileMessenger is a multi service chat application that includes ICQ, MSN, AOL, Yahoo!, Jabber and GoogleTalk. This application is smooth, works over edge or wifi, has tons of features, runs in the background more. Yes, running in the background is going to effect your battery but this can be changed in the Preferences. The interface is great and the tab feature works great.
My only complaint is the sound effects. The current sound is a little annoying and once a sound is made my audio becomes all muffled. It would be sweet if each service had their own original sound effect. I made a quick video to show you how great this really is. You can get AgileMessenger through the ModMyiFone source.
Watch “AgileMessenger” on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

looks awsome
but the sound effects is indeed annoying. You should be able to turn them off. Hopefully in a future update!

Well this is the one I have been LONG awaiting.
I used this with on my i930, Axim 40h, m220, and let me share you that in my opinion its the BEST by far.
I was SO, SO, happy to see this appear in my Installer yesterday, I actually wondered it could be the same app,
I feel like I got a ole friend back, after trying what chat apps that found for the iPhone this by far is the best for me.
Its user friendly app with a lot of options.
Very Happy now!
The Best by far… In My Opinion
[Reply]
this is awesome…. But there is a lot to improve like sending photos that you have in the camera roll (now you can only take a bew one), and a lot of settings like name, and others…
the greatest thing would be a setting for appear like if you were in a computer…would be great!
Conclusion: uninstalled the mobile chat and took this for my applications
GREAT JOB!!!!
[Reply]
Downloading now but looks like exaclty what my wife and I have been looking for.
[Reply]
Has to be the best looking chat app so far and runs great. Shame i cant use it as i keep getting bad username/password even though they are correctly filled in
, mind you that was over edge havent tried over wifi so fingers crossed it will work then but im not putting much faith in it working tho as fring seems to be the only chat app that works for me with MSN
[Reply]
Very good app! I installed it on my ipod touch but sometimes it crashes. When i write to others i can’t see what i’m writing because the backround of the text is black… Can i solve this?

angel on July 1st, 2008 11:20 pm:
I have this problem too
NormanDanner on July 2nd, 2008 9:43 am:
other Chat problems had the same issue, this is because they don’t use a color as background, but components of the iPhone SMS interface. Since the ipod touch doesn’t have it, you get the problem. If you install SMS (i think it was SMS) on your system this should work.
Lucas on July 11th, 2008 10:15 am:
Mine fixed itself
Now it works perfectly
How are you billed for this app! it it considered a TXT message or by Data usage?
[Reply]
Douglas on July 1st, 2008 10:52 am:
Not TXT messaging, this is Data.
Jason on July 1st, 2008 12:06 pm:
Thanks!!! That what i wanted to hear
Good question Jason, I would like to know that as well. If its data usage I will be all over it and I mite still get it if its not, but i will be more reluctant to use it if its free.
[Reply]
isn’t this the app that will cost 45 Dollars?
[Reply]
Douglas on July 1st, 2008 10:53 am:
So far, this is Free.
I have a way to fix the muffled sound you will need to replace the NewMessage.wav file in /applications/am/resources folder with one that is higher quality i used a .caf file i downloaded from the customize app and used quicktime to export it as a .wav and it works great no more muffled sound let me know if this works for everyone else

Care to share sa step by step guide? Thank you.
Installed and tested on my 1.1.4, used via WiFi, sent picture… Overall great app! Best one I’ve used so far!
[Reply]
No txt charges!

[Reply]
pretty good app, pretty good review
AIS rocks !
[Reply]
great application, however I can’t use it to send SMS to icq users, it tells me that it is not posible to send a message to an offline user (all the contacts I have in icq are only ‘phone contacts’ so they are always offline)..
[Reply]
You can use two fingers scrolling left to right to move between tabs, as well as double click on names to start a chat.
‘rigid menus’ in the menu also takes away the annoying bouncy feel of the menus.
Brandon- can you use http://drop.io/ to post the new sound file so everyone else can use it?
[Reply]
The one thing it doesn’t do is sending offline messages…some of my friends were on invisible mode and sending me messages and i couldn’t respond to them back unless they go back onto visible..
[Reply]
@Douglas Where did you get that sound when you type on the iphone keyboard? It sounds different than the stock one.
[Reply]
whenever I open it the program crashes as I type in my username for aol… Anyone else
[Reply]
here is the sound i used but you can use any even the ones built into the iphone http://customizeapp.com/uploads/filesets/MetalGearSolid/SMSReceivedSound.caf

all i see is the name but no message
[Reply]
Works great, been using it on WM for a couple of years now.
[Reply]
thanks for the news… installed and working fine on my 1.1.4… cool app yeah
[Reply]
[...] Read more from the source here [...]
It has COPY AND PASTE!!!!! Now this is exciting.
[Reply]
tonyc311 on July 1st, 2008 8:43 pm:
Yeah that makes me laugh pretty hard that this great app has Copy/Paste. But the iPhone ITSELF does not?!?! Apple should be embarrassed….
crashed on me the first time tryin it out…huh, hope it doent do it again
[Reply]
same problem like Lucas
when i type i only see a black background
and when the chat name is too long i can’t close it because the name is in the “menu” button
and i came up with something, lets rename the contact
but no, i can’t rename them when i try it, it says “failed”
does anyone knows how to fix this?
thx in advance
(i’m using a ipod touch 1.1.4)
[Reply]
this is the best but sometimes I can’t get the personal messages to work. Also I love the copy and pastes
[Reply]
ohh my god….AWSOME! GRAT JOB DUDE!!!!! WOOW
[Reply]
can you add multiple msn accounts?
[Reply]
tonyc311 on July 1st, 2008 8:49 pm:
That would be very helpful if we could. But no because I’ve tried. One account at a time. Hopefully we will be able to in a future update.
yea … its like getting an old friend back….i used this with my Treo…
Will it work with Tmobile’s Web plan ($5.99)???
[Reply]
dave on July 2nd, 2008 4:41 pm:
can’t get it to work over tmobile edge can you?
Shoo on July 2nd, 2008 9:40 pm:
can’t get it to work of tmobile web. Works with wifi.
Just tried it over wifi and MSN still doesnt work for me. Is it becasue my MSN ends with .co.uk instead of .com as googletalk logs in fine. Shame cos i love the look and feel of this app
[Reply]
The Copy and Paste is GREAT!!…what a great app.
I can’t seem to DELETE a contact….anyone else having this problem? I seem to have a huge list of contacts that are NOT online…that I hvae no clue who they are…but I can’t delete them.
[Reply]
Ken on July 1st, 2008 12:51 pm:
Also…can’t seem to rename a contact
tonyc311 on July 1st, 2008 8:52 pm:
I can delete and rename contacts. Interestingly when a buddy IMed me this morning I could not IM him back because it said he was offline. I simply re-added his email address and magically he was online. So I think there are some bug issues that have to be worked out. This was on an MSN account where that happened to me.
Wow the best Chat application for the Iphone so far. I also can’t seem to rename a contact and whenever i press the home button it disconnects me.
[Reply]
Am I the only one that doesn’t see it under installer??? And yes I have the modmyifone repo as its a community one

I guess the auto refresh doesn’t really work great. Once I did a manual refresh it shows
Greaaaaat apps but , it consumes battery quickly isnt it ?
[Reply]
first off way awsome! Can we get any info on how bad it drains the battery if kept from sleeping?
[Reply]
Version 1.0.18 fixes the black box when typing for ipod touch users.
[Reply]
this app is beyond glorious. i hope it remains free because it costs $45 for their other versions.
[Reply]
This app was awesome until I updated to 1.0.18. It now crashes whenever I try to open a new chat window on MSN. Also my AIM wont sign on anymore. I get “System. Rate limit exceeded (reservation). Please try to reconnect in a few minutes.” Everything was working great on 1.0.16. Anybody else having these problems? This is one of those “Oh man, I should have waited for a review about the update from AppleiPhoneSchool!” lol.
~Unlocked iPhone 1.1.4~
[Reply]
This app is a lot better than the mobile chat app. Just like some of you guys said, when the received message sound came on it muffled my sounds and the stock sound was pretty annoying. I simply ssh’d into my iphone and replaced the default received message sound in agile mobile with the received message sound from mobile sms(The mobile sms sound was an .aiif file, so i just changed it to .wav to work with agile mobile). I also didnt like the icon that agile mobile has so I found one online that I liked and ssh’d that as well. No more ugly icon and no more annoying/muffled sound!
[Reply]
whenever i try to install this app, it downloads, then when it starts to install the installer quits back to my home screen… any ideas? it does this whenever i try to install an ap!
[Reply]
how can I change my user name?
[Reply]
+1 for a amazing app. but yea doesnt seem to keep me online, most times when i lock or hit the home i get disconnected.
PEOPLE who have changed their IM sounds let us know which ones you prefer!!!! im having trouble finding a cool one!
cant wait for this app to grow even though its already amazing!!
[Reply]
this is awesome. As long as they don’t charge for this in the future. It will stay rank 1 on my list.
Developers please dont let this beauty cost $45 or something…
[Reply]
i can`t seem to make it connect to my icq , i put the ID and the password i click connect then i see the Icq on my computer gets message i had been signed off cos i was signed up on other computer but the iphone continues trying to connect and after alot of waiting it goes to offline status . Is it possible this to be because im trying to use it from my wireless at home ? may be i need to set some settings on the router to fix it ? browsing , apple weather and all other aplications seem to be ok with the wireless …
[Reply]
Hi all,
installed the application yesterday but have an issue with contacts showing up as “offline”. I can receive the messages from people but can’t send them. Does anyone know how to solve the “offline” problem?
Cheers,
AG

hi all
i can’t install AgileMessenger , i get always error , and package download failed , i don’t know how come ?
[Reply]
errorboy on July 2nd, 2008 10:30 am:
Keeps saying package failed for me as well. I’m on 1.1.3 firmware jailbroken…
avicenna on July 6th, 2008 4:40 am:
Hi errorboy
how are you…did you install the agilemessenger?????
finaly i installed agilemobile after 3 days and now is working , it’s nice but sometimes crash.
if yours always , keeps saying package failed , you must try again and again at least 20 times per day , so i did it like that and i install it .
good luck
hmm… The app doesnt work on edge for me. Is anyone having the same problem?
[Reply]
it was working great for me intially. I hit exit while in an IM, and now I can’t get it to connect to any networks anymore.
“All connections failed” is the error I get now. Which is odd, as it worked perfectly yesterday.
Shame too, as its a great program when it works.
[Reply]
i installed the version 1.0.18 and it´s not working, i can´t connect with msn or yahoo accounts
[Reply]
Mine initially worked as well, on 1.1.3, until I hit exit (not home button)… Now it’s not connecting to any services. I get “All connections failed, switch to contact list?”. If I press yes, it takes me to an empty contact list, and if I press no, it takes me to my services list. No connection made.
I’ve tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, then rebooting again with no luck. I’ve also tried re-entering my login information for all used services and it will not connect to any. Any help?

Hey!! Im having exactly the same issue …Did you find any way to fix it? Id appreciate your help!!
I still can’t get it to work… Whenever I begin to enter my username for aol it crashes…. Help me Brooke
[Reply]
When i downloaded it yesterday it was working fine but crashed a couple of times. Today it doesn’t connect at all. Sucks since it was a pretty cool application.
[Reply]
Maybe its the Tmobile Web service. I have the 5.99 plan and can’t get it to work. Works fine over WIFI
[Reply]
Never worked on my 1.1.4 iPhone. It always say either my username/pwd are incorrect, or saying “All connections failed”… Tried on Google Talk, MSN and Yahoo messenger. non-worked.
So happy to see this coming out but I guess I had a false surprise without ever having it working.
[Reply]
I can’t seem to view IMs that are over 3 lines. Anyone know how to? I get the first 3lines but all the others are cut off
[Reply]
It seems to be working fine for me. I just tested Yahoo, GTalk n MSN. All 3 connected well… : )
[Reply]
use it with ICQ and MSN accounts, works fine. but sometimes it lost the connection when it´s minimized or when iam on lockscreen.
but i´ll hope in the future version i can change the sounds, they are quite horrible.
[Reply]
hi all
mine is 1.1.4 and always keeps saying package failed , so i can’t install it but ,if it’s working good , it will be fantastic program .
i will wait.
[Reply]
MSN didnt work for me indicating bad username/password. Tried over wi-fi and boom no problem signing in. Btw I’m on t-mobile with the full data plan. Also it crashed twice yesterday. Hopefully it was become more stable since it is the best one I’ve come across on the iPhone.
[Reply]
Seems to be working ok so far for me. Really a great app. I hope it remains free.
[Reply]
After a while, when i am in Chat the words that i send or receive dissapear and i can only see what they write to me only if i do a copy and paste on my keyboard. Does anybody else have the same issue?
[Reply]
Does anyone knows if agile comes for the iphone 3g @ app store or it’s only possible with installer ????
[Reply]
Its going to be $45 plus…bah.
