Trillian

Trillian is an instant messaging app that works on phones, tablets, and desktops while keeping your chats neatly synchronized between all of them! We think conversation should be easily shared between all of your devices, not trapped as text messages on your phone. Here's how we do it:

Category	Price	Seller	Device
Business	Free	Cerulean Studios, LLC	iPhone, iPad, iPod

• INSTANT MESSAGING: Your unique Trillian username can be used to send unlimited messages free of charge. Trillian uses your existing data plan and/or WiFi.

• ANYWHERE: Trillian's continuous client feature delivers your chats instantly between all of your connected devices. In addition, Trillian automatically silences push notifications on mobile devices if you're active on a desktop - no more dealing with a phone buzzing on your desk all day!

• SIMPLE: Trillian places a strong emphasis on fast and reliable message delivery and a beautiful, easy-to-use interface.

• SECURE: All communication with Trillian servers uses TLS to ensure third-parties can't read your chats.

• INTEROPERABLE: Of course, Trillian wouldn't be Trillian without support for Facebook Chat, MSN, Google Talk, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo!, and Jabber.

Still room for improvement....

It would be super nice to revive a push notification when a certain contact or group of contacts come online. There’s some issues when in portrait mode trying to mute the chat, and sometimes the app gets confused when it switches between landscape and portrait.

Some more features needed...

I use Trillian at work. It is a great app for communication around our hospital and even within our clinic. It could almost replace my pager except for a few key things surrounding the notifications. They are just not annoying enough. The trillian noise is so soft and soothing that it is really easy to ignore. I wish there were options to use a different noise (something more annoying) and set it so that it continues to repeat a notification until it is read or actively deferred. As it exists right now I still have to carry a pager becuase I often miss the mobile notifications becuase of the above reasons. I think this is a simple fix and it would really make this a 5 star business messaging solution for hospitals and clinics. Thanks.

Dont use this app1

I downloaded the app to apply for a job just to find out it was being used to scam people.

But still clunky.

Annoying new bugs

All chats get flushed Sunday mornings. Frequent long reconnect pauses during use. Used to be a reliable app. May have to search for a replacement.

Handy App

I use this app to keep in touch with friends all over the country. I like that I can send and receive pictures. I use it everyday and have never had any problems. Good Job.

Great FREE app for more than a decade- Thank you!

I’ve been using this app for probably 15 years or more. I paid for premium for one year and wish I’d have just done the lifetime membership because I love this app and use it over every other one for chat. I loathe other chat apps (FB messenger can go diddle in the corner). Thank you Trillian for making a TRUELY FREE TO USE app that does as promised. Thank you for not removing features every year in an effort to force us to pay. Thank you for offering incentives to go premium. Next time that lifetime member deal pops up, I’m taking it. Because I thank you for making it simple, convenient and consistent enough that I can keep using the same app without having to start over. Thanks!!

Notifications not working
Razputen

The app used to work great. Notifications would push through as messages arrived. However ever since the latest update they have for the most part stopped. They come in batches now and I miss a majority of messages that are sent to me. It's a wonderful service however at this point in time not reliable unless I check every 5 minutes for messages.
