- Simple, lightweight, and compact size.
- It has various editions on multiple platform including: Win32, Win16, MacOS, MacOSX, X11, GTK, GNOME

To run the app, please download and run the Winows edition: http://ipmsg.org/archive/ipmsg208.zip or the MacOSX edition: http://ishwt.net/downloads/IPMessenger092.dmg.

Because IP Messenger uses UDP and TCP, you should ensure the WIFI of iPhone is opened and connected to the same network as the Winows or MacOSX edition of IP Messenger.

Because IP Messenger does not surrport multilingual, you should ensure the encoding setting of iMessenger should be the same as the local language setted at the machine runnng IP Messenger.

Pros and cons of IP Messenger app for iPhone and iPad

IP Messenger app good for

这么好的软件能移植到iphone，并且功能一样强大，很不错。支持。

Transfering files to/from other computers has been very convenient in intranet.

prefect in every way.this is my favorite app.worth every penny

Has a lot of potential and worth 0.99 but this app could be so much better. Hopefully with the future updates it will get better.

I have two kids in home school and wanted a way to text with them on their desktop screens from my iphone. And without buying expensive office licenses and pro software. They each have an ios device with imessage but that doesnt really work as well for their school needs. Anyway, handy software to have. Does what it says. My wish list?.... Keep it running in background on iPhone somehow? Also, change "uh oh" sound to something else. Thumbs up and thank you for making this app!

Some bad moments

I love the concept but the app wont run in the background. Plus it crashes when you open it up and refresh the list. Please update.
