I've used this app for a long time now. Stability is a main issue for me. It often crashes with no explanation, the crash reporter also crashes. If you want a stable app this isn't really for you.
Second, the developers don't seem to have much interest in fixing things. Once in a while there's an update but this happens rarely. There are major DCC issues which I first posted on their forum about a long time ago. These still haven't been fixed.
On the plus side, the developers seem friendly enough and do offer the off work around.
I'm also not a fan of the copy protection system they employ. It's a bit cumbersome and a simple code would be good enough.
I've just started using Snak and on the whole it's a var better app.

In summary, about version 0,2. Try Snak or Colloquy instead.
