Katoo for Gtalk Hangouts App Reviews

Keep the updates coming please dont let it get stale!

Very few bells and whistles. I like that the devs focused on function over fashion unlike some of the other chat apps. Other gmail chat apps Ive tried lag or drop messages. This one works. My only problem with this is it seems to frequently log me out and I cant find an option to keep my account logged in.

Will give it 5 stars if they add Gtalk calls. Also, add a feature to "appear offline" not just "away."

So much better than the default apps by google. Have "VIP" notification albeit manual not automatic for every time though. But doesnt seem to shut down like google apps does. No invisible status yet but hopefully they will be able to enable it soon. A thumb up.

Ive tried many gtalk apps in the past and this is by far the best one!

I used to use Vtok, but their lack of update made me look for something else. So I found this one and have a really nice visual and works just nice. Wish it would have voice and video call as Vtok

Ive only been using this app for one day but I already love it. I used to use a gtalk app that I couldnt find again so I tried this one and am much happier. The one I used before would freeze all the time and log me out if it wasnt up on my screen. Ive had no issues being logged out (except for when I leave my phone for a while) and its very user friendly. Love the option for personalizing chat backgrounds. Also really enjoying being able to send a picture directly from my library, which I could not do before. I was always just sending pictures via text prior to today.

Now if only there were the options to be invisible and to remove the "im on the katoo iOS app" message from the statuses, it would be perfect!

Only chats I start show up. Sometimes Im alerted when someone replies — maybe 60%. Deleting.

gorgeous Interface, works just as advertised. & ad-free to boot!

Katoo has done a very good job taking over where IMO left off (before they went corporate and stupid). Sometimes issues pushing but mostly good. For iOS8 there are some keyboard and graphics issues which I would like fixed.

Does what its intended. Not all fancy with a bunch of useless things. Love how simple it is.

The app crashes on 7.1.2

Whenever I am on wifi I get notifications of messages, but when I open the app, it just says connecting and never does. The second I turn off wifi, works fine. Dumb.

Love this.

Most of these apps work good for a short time. This one has worked the best yet. Usually the push notifications stop working on the other apps for some reason. This one has been working great. A few more days of testing then I will buy the full app.

Facebook and Google in one place. Awesome. A little ugly though. How about a few themesz?

I use this app almost daily. Its great for connecting to friends on gtalk on their computer. However, it has begun to crash constantly. Every time I open the app to chat, it freezes and closes at least twice. Sometimes the app will crash even when its not doing anything. Im hoping for an update or I will have to find a new app.

this app crashes pretty consistently. its the best iphone to gtalk app that Ive found so far, and I even bought the full version, but it crashes about once a day and at least once a week the push notifications stop working. this usually fixes itself with an iPhone restart, but every couple of months I have to delete the app and redownload. SO frustrating.

Did you folks have a new upgrade recently to support iOS 8? The app is worse after that. It doesnt show friends online when they are indeed online and it crashes a LOT! This is a great app and love using it, but if these issues continue I might have to look elsewhere. Appreciate your support
