IM+ updates to v5.0 and celebrates with a sale!
IM+, my recent multi-client instant messenging app of choice, has updated itself to a higher number with some improvements.
Mostly you’ll notice the cosmetic changes, as the app worked quite well before. Check out the screenshots I’m putting up from my tablet and my phone. Note how the tablet has that ‘gmail’ look to it with the panels.

You’ll also notice that there’s now a widget which is really cool. I resized it at first because on the tablet it was only 2×1, but on the phone it’s 4×1. Only problem was that it cut off the yellow portion which directly brings you to the app.
So, to celebrate the big update SHAPE is offering the Pro version for half price! Only $5. If you bought the pro already, go and update; if you haven’t, consider spending the cash as I’ve said previously having a multi IM client is much preferable to having several individual clients all running.
[I did run into some issues with the app updating, but that could be attributed to the market being a real pain lately — if so, your app should provide you with a notification to update and possibly a link to download the apk externally]
