Whoa dude, two updates in one week! This is an important one because when I reviewed IM+ a couple months ago I was grumbling that it didn’t support Skype. Well, now it does. And it supports Twitter. And it can provide your location, although in my brief experiment the accuracy was off by a few miles.

This is still a pretty big update, though, and here’s the official word from SHAPE Services:

The most important additions in IM+ 3.0 paid version are Twitter and Skype Chat. The minor changes include an ability to create own status messages including geo-status with current location.

IM+ 3.0 lite version’s functionality (lite version is coming soon) is also significantly expanded. Besides Twitter, we’ve added the following functions which previously were available in paid version only: Send photo, Send location and Send voice.

* Note: Due to technical reasons the version number in App tore is displayed as 2.2, though it is a major update 3.0.

Kind regards,
SHAPE Services

IM+ may be pricey but that’s because it does that fancy thing where you can still receive chat messages even when the app isn’t running which dramatically raises its value for the super-wired. However, if you’re too broke to drop $10 on this app you can haul ass to the comment box and try to grab one of the free codes that SHAPE has very kindly provided!

    SHAPE Services has been nice enough to provide some promo codes to hand out!

    First come, first served.

    1. 7H6XENX4PFJF
    2. 3A9L39YAWXTA
    3. KRFKW4Y3J6KF

    If you use one, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT so that everyone knows which code you took! Trying to use spent promo codes sucks, so your comment will be greatly appreciated by all.

    Your thoughts on the app (after you try it) are also welcome. Enjoy!

    Instructions on how to redeem promo codes can be found here:

    (You must have a U.S. iTunes account to use promo codes)

    Thanks for the useful info. It’s so interesting

  • Caleb

    That’s incredible that they gave away promo codes for a $10 app! Thank you so much. I used the fourth one, and it looks like the fifth is gone as well.

  • Ian

    I took the first code, all the rest are taken. Thanks for leaving your taken notices.

  • Michael (Admin)

    Never underestimate the power of the promo code! You don’t know how bad you want it until you could have had it but didn’t get it ;)

  • Martin

    How can they all be gone and no notes???? Come on guys!

  • Michael (Admin)

    Many have suggested choosing random “winners” to get promo codes, but that can get messy when the random winners don’t claim their prize or don’t have U.S. iTunes accounts (which leads to wasted codes).

    One thing I might be able to implement is a very simple system that hands codes out one-by-one to whoever shows up… still first-come-first-serve… and that should end the days of trying to get codes that are taken. It’s gonna take some time to make this happen but when it does it’ll save latecomers a lot of headaches!

  • Martin

    It’s just too bad that folks can’t be gracious enough to take a few seconds and let you know. After all, they are getting something for nothing… Anyway, thanks for all you are doing!!!

    It is like a game and it is hard to win.

  • Milan

  • Milan

    Whoops didn’t see the admin comment! Don’t mind me!

  • nom

  • Ryan
