Team review

" Keep in touch with people. "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 7 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 2.2 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is light enough, less than ten MB (4 MB exactly) are needed to save to their device and use it.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Negative review Waste of space by anonym
I use to use aim back in the hay day of AOL but now it won't even let me sign in. I know my account info so that's not the issue. Sorry but not worth my time 1/5
Positive review Favorite messenger. by anonym
I've written reviews before, but I really love how much time and effort the guys put into taking our feedback and putting it into the messenger. You guys are doing an awesome job! Keep it up! 5/5

Negative review Uhm by anonym
it won't send messages 1/5
Negative review What's going on? by anonym
For over a week keep getting booted. 3 or 4 attempts to log back in. The app closes when you are not in it. Error on log in, several times. Messages won't send. Usually love the app.... for the last 7 days have had nonstop issues. I've moved all my contacts to other messenger services... to ensure communication 1/5
Neutral review Needs work. by anonym
You've really impressed me with this update. I've noticed one problem though. You can't close the application. I've even tried force closing it. 3/5
Negative review Messages won't send! by anonym
Within the last week or so my messages only send ten percent of the time without error no matter what network I'm on so I know it isn't my connection. 1/5
Negative review Crash by anonym
Everytime I go to login it crashes says aim has stopped working but only on my tablet pls halp 2/5
Neutral review by anonym
hitting backspace on a bluetooth keyboard deletes the previous 2 characters - this is a huge issue that leaves me looking for a third party alternative until it's fixed 3/5
Neutral review by anonym
App periodically works okay but since the 24th, incoming IMs aren't delivered until I physically close the app and reopen it. This is a pretty big issue since I use it for about eighty percent of the day and I'm missing huge chunks of conversation. 3/5
Negative review by anonym
Aim is refusing to send my messages to half my contacts. My messaged keep failing and I've reinstalled it twice but it refuses to work. Aim is one of my favorite apps and this is disappointing. 2/5
Negative review Don't get this as app by anonym
Wow this app has so many good glitches it's so frustrating. I would recommend finding a better messaging app 1/5
Neutral review permanent notification is good but.. by anonym
do I have to log out to stop aim from running on my phone? its great we know it's running now but how do we stop it from running so I can get rid of the permanent notification? doesn't give us that option so I'm unsatisfied for now. 3/5
Neutral review Really frustrating, by anonym
OK I don't know if there was an update for both the computer and phone, but I can't send messages to others for crud. My Internet connections perfect and I've uninstalled and installed the thing multiple times and still no luck. But I mean other than that I've had no issues. 3/5
Negative review Sucks by anonym
Lately when I'm on it on my HTC one m8 it doesn't Send my messages and I have to log out before resending...now it won't even log me in just keeps loading before saying server is down....try later....please fix this. 2/5
Negative review Another revised review by anonym
Recent update to have the persistent icon is kinda funny. Icon is persistent, yet aim is even worse at staying logged in. Good job. I mean, it had trouble before but this is bad. Still better than Skype. Fix for star retrieval. 2/5
Negative review Does NOT work at all. by anonym
Used to work fine until an update. Now messages never send. I never get messages to my phone for some reason. Went downhill. Deleting this app. Such a shame, it was nice when it worked :( 1/5
Positive review Greatly improved (again) by anonym
Edit - Thanks for the improvements and the addition of the optional constant icon in the notification bar. Original - This app is greatly improved from the last time I used it. Thank you for the work. Suggestions for improvements: 1. It would be nice if a "Dark Theme" were available 2. Allow use of more than just the default notification sounds 3. Option to keep a constant icon in the notification bar Thanks again. 4/5
Negative review Major issuss by anonym
Ever since the lollipop update I have constant connection issues with AIM. It barely functions at this point. Either messages don't send our I can't login at all. Please fix ASAP! 2/5
Negative review Won't let me log in by anonym
No matter how many times I reader the app and my phone I just get stuck at the log in screen with the rising circle 1/5
Negative review What happened? by anonym
It's been a month now and I tried downloading AIM again. It still won't let me sign in and stool continues to say that AIM has unfortunately stopped. I emailed AIM a month ago and only got back that my messages was passed on. A WHOLE month and the problem still isn't fixed? AIM is seriously slacking, one star no stars if possible. I'll tell all my friends to just delete the app since the problem isn't being worked on. 1/5
Neutral review No notifications by anonym
Worked fine till today now every time I set the sound and led notification it resets back to silent and no led 3/5
Negative review Horrible since the update. by anonym
App keeps crashing. Can't send messages. Keeps giving me an error when I reply to an im. It's very annoying. 1/5
Positive review much improved by anonym
Recent update adds a persistent notification icon. This is a welcome addition to a good app. Thanks. The app could use some themes as reading the grey lettering on the light blue background is not comfortable. 4/5
Positive review Awesome but one problem by anonym
Raandomly I go send a message to people and an "error" shows up saying "message nog sent and a red flag. 4/5
Neutral review by anonym
Like aim but I can't seem to like or comment on people's stauts. Once in a blue moon it works. Most of time when I click on like it just loads and when I type in a comment it load and won't post it. How do I fix this problem. I've even uninsulated and intalled this app many times and nothing. Please help 3/5
Negative review Unusable lag by anonym
Still problems with outgoing messages hanging up for several minutes or often permanently. Would be a great app if it actually supported two sided communications. I see from recent reviews that I am far from alone in this and it has persisted for MONTHS. App worked fine for a long time, now this. Unfortunately every other mobile aim client is broken in some other way. If my friends would switch I'd ditch aim entirely. 1/5
Negative review Cant reply! by anonym
For the past week i cannot reply to anyone. I have to keep hitting resend..and that doesnt really work. All my messages have the red exclamation point. Also..the app will just crash. Right now i can't even open it to anything but a grey screen. (i have the lg g3) ive uninstalled the app twice and it still doesnt work. 1/5
Negative review Messages unsent by anonym
Until sometime last week this app worked perfectly and I preferred it over all others for its reliability... And now it's not reliable. It will randomly pop up the red ! on all messages and refuse to send anything despite my Wi-Fi connection being perfectly stable. I have to completely reboot the app to get anything to send again. Happens very frequently and is incredibly annoying. 1/5
Negative review Getting frustrated by anonym
I hate leaving these every time something goes wrong... The app literally worked half hour ago but now suddenly I can't log in without it crashing. I have friends on there whose phone numbers I don't have. It's so frustrating that things keep going wrong. I also still can't leave messages to people's status updates unless I added them after a certain update (can't remember which one). A majority of my friends were added before that update and I can't even respond to updates they make. Not security settings. 2/5
Negative review So mad. by anonym
Aim used to work fine all the time but ever since I updated it and my phone to the 5.1 update of lollipop its been acting like garbage. Why Aim whyyyyy? I'd like not to give up on you but I am so close to breaking up with you! This relationship might not go on any further unless these issues get fixed. Seriously. 2/5
Negative review Messages get stuck sending & receiving by anonym
When sending a message, I get the red exclamation mark about half the time. Have to long press and resend, resend, resend. Sometimes receive messages an hour late. Doesn't matter if I'm on Wi-Fi or not. Running lollipop on Sprint, LG G3. 2/5
Negative review Horrible app by anonym
Won't sign in on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Logged in one time then logged me out after 5 minutes now won't connect. Tried wifi and regular 4G signal 1/5
Positive review Working smoothly, thx for listening! by anonym
Edit 2/17/2015 - thank you for adding the icon back to let me know it's running. Also have had none of the connectivity issues I had a year or so ago (looked connected but no IMs going in or out). Working great! Revised up to 5 stars! (prev review: use aim for work but don't want it up all the time. Need to bring the little guy back to the top to show aim is running!) 5/5
Positive review Works as a good FB msg alternative but ... by anonym
FB msg uses up a lot of my phone ram, space, and battery, so switching to AIM was for the better as it rids of these issues. However, this is the major issue that I found while using AIM: Reauthorizing my FB account for messaging every two days or so. MAJOR issue as I'm not notified right away if I've received a message or not if I don't do this every time. The FB app was at the least reliable in receiving messages and notifying the receiver ASAP, so I hope this issue can be fixed soon. 4/5
Neutral review by anonym
I don't know What's going on but I haven't had issues until a couple of days ago. Now I have to continuous resend because It'll keep saying message failed. Yet my data and Wi-Fi are just fine. Please, fix this problem. Also, I have had the issue of it logging me out occasionally. Why hasn't this gotten a response or has this bug been fixed yet? 3/5
Negative review by anonym
Its not letting me log in. I think it wants me to log in from FB...but im not. So please fix this asap. I have really important contact for school. Thanks 1/5
Negative review App keeps crashing by anonym
The app keeps closing when outside of it so i keep losing notifications. So i have to open the app everytime to see if i got any new messeges or not. Any way to fix this? 2/5
