Freeware? I think not.....

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: tydalforce Saturday, April 15 2006 @ 01:39 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

Developers, please do not list something as Freeware when its not.

Freeware = free to use, no expiration, not a trial, no money expected. This is ShareWare at best.

OK Seriously, I've been looking for a replacement for AIM. I wanted to try this out. Anytime I tried to connect, I got a message about an invalid license. I thought this was freeware? It wants me to register...

Maybe I'd consider paying for it, but I couldn't even *try* it. This product is not as advertised!

As an alternative, try the Opensource and excellent Adium - connects to all services...

yes its false advertising (this aint your "buddy").

If i were to pay for something, its will be Proteus.

for freeware, Adium is good enough.
otherwise use the client of your IM provider ,i.e. MSN Msgr. Yahoo or iChat of which are all free even if they don't have all the features of what this jBuddy is offering

as of August 31, 2006, a free license is included. There are still some nudges to upgrade to the Pro edition and a small ad in the buddy list, but you can certainly get a flavor of JBuddy Messenger without fuss.
