I got in on the beta they had and to be honest, it was release quality then even before two RC versions. Nice and stable (tried the main alternative on the Marketplace before and it crashed a lot). Pretty smooth and "metro" interface too. Not sure what they offer in the try vs buy on the final, I grabbed it today when I saw an update on Twitter about it going final.

This is the main reason that I want to switch to WP. on Android, I can't live without "Talk", and now jiTalk really pulls through with an amazing app from what I've seen on their site. @-@ Just waiting for a decent handset to come out on Verizon.

Anyone else having problems with this app this morning? I'm getting a crash the moment I start it up. Uninstalled and reinstalled, entered credentials, same deal. I assume a server side problem, but obviously don't know for sure, and have emailed the devs. Just wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing today?

update:
Just heard back from the dev. This is what he said:
This issue has already been reported and is currently being worked on. The problem has appeared this morning (around 7:00 UTC).


It seems it's a problem from Google, but we are not sure yet. In case the problem comes from us, we will release an update as soon as possible.


We are very sorry for the inconveniences. Thanks for your feedback.

Must be Google. Octrotalk is broken too. Absolutely maddening to have service providers break third party APIs, but for Google to do so is particularly galling given the pretense they like to give of being open.

Could also be related to undocumented api access by developers. Google might have tweaked it a bit and broken something. I'm using Trillian on mac desktop and google talk seems fine on it. Haven't tried it on jtalk yet.

Well, interestingly on OctroTalk, everything works fine until you try to start a new conversation (continuing to send messages in existing conversations is fine, it's only a new conversation that breaks the app). I'm guessing the JiTalk issue is to do with how the handle logging into Google.

Toast notifications are not working for me on Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows Phone 8). Any ideas?
