I was looking for an app for Hangouts that I could use my Google Voice. This is a great app to chat on Hangouts, but doesn't integrate Google Voice like Hangouts does.

With Google pretty much dropping support for Google Talk on Windows, I was really glad to find this app running as a beautiful, full-featured "Modern" app in Windows 8. It allows me to stay connected to my Gmail-using friends without hassle. UPDATE: It's been good, but every now and then messages are missed (I think due to Google's API), and the application has some stability issues on resume. There are also occasions when their server stops working for extended periods, rendering chat inaccessible.

When it works, it works well. But that's only when it works. I started having intermittent connection issues, and as of a couple days ago, I can't even log in anymore. Their site is no longer active. I can't contact the developer as there is no way to get rid of the error message that takes over the whole screen for more than 2 seconds.

Has some cool features, too bad stability isn't one of them. Doesn't seem to have state managed properly or is simply crashing. In any case, it crashes almost any time it returns from a suspended state. Doesn't seem to have a cloud or push service to fall back on so if it's suspended or crashed, you'll miss messages. This is speaking from a Surface Pro 3. Maybe it runs better on a desktop. Uninstalling for now.

I love the app overall, I would give it five stars if it allowed me to log in to multiple accounts at the same time.

I tried IM+, but it had a confusing interface and had trouble running in the background. I tried "Chat", but it spammed alerts whenever I lost my internet connection commuting, and required a tedious reconnection process. Mercury is my chat app savior! It's full featured, supporting off-the-record and image embeds seamlessly. It's also been reliable, un-intrusive, easy to use, supports Win 8.1 dynamic split-screen sizing, and looks good.

Really the best gchat client. Beautiful UI; toast notifications; in-line photo and video sharing, just awesome. And as an added bonus, developers are very responsive to emails!

Much better than the other google talk messenger I tried....very clean design and seems to be stable.
