14 DAY TRIAL // If you're looking for a powerful all-in-one messenger for Windows 8.1, your options basically come down to just a single app, as the Windows Store is still lacking more alternatives as far as communications are concerned.
IM+ Pro, however, is one of the best apps of its kind and, starting today, it's also available with a big discount for all users running Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1.
The app is included this week's Red Stripe Deals campaign, so it can be yours right now with a 60 percent discount, which means that you only have to pay $1.99 (€1.50) for a full license.
The feature lineup is basically unchanged, but the most important thing is the rich support for chat networks across the world, including the following: Windows Live Messenger, Facebook, Skype chat, Google Talk, AOL/AIM/iChat, Yahoo!, ICQ, Vkontakte, Mail.Ru Agent, Odnoklassniki, Yandex chat, Mamba.Ru, Mig33, SINA Weibo, Renren, Fetion, Gadu-Gadu, MeinVZ and Jabber.
The Pro version comes with chat history, a customizable push notification timeout and no advertisements.
“IM+ Pro features text messages and photo sending, supports group chats in Skype, AIM and ICQ, allows to add multiple accounts per service, lets you show your mood with personal status messages and customize application appearance, supports typing notifications and we're not done yet, new IM+ Pro features will keep coming!” the official app description published in the store reads.
The discount is only available for the next 6 days, so it might be a good idea to hurry up a little bit if you'd like to get the full version at this special price.
