Pure messenger widget

Sharing many of the killer features and design approaches of Pure Calendar, Pure Messenger is a definitely polished product. Howerer I wish it supported more networks (Twitter and Facebook only right now, no Google Buzz, Yahoo Pulse, LinkedIn, MySpace... and apparently author not willing to expand any further), the overlay for single messages cannot be skinned, etc. It is still better than HTC's own FriendStream.

Does not work on 2.2. Was great before.

Ok I've used the app quite a bit, and coming from HTC, sadly it fall short in several areas. It's a great attempt, and the best non-htc app out there so if you don't have an HTC Sense phone.. i highly recommend it. The issues are this: 1) The internal viewer needs work. It's great for people that use facebook for pure text, but if you're like me and use it to keep up with photos of your nephews and nieces it has issues. It only shows 1 photo period, with no way to go directly to others that your friends might have posted from the internal viewer. If you tell it to use facebook official viewer instead, you get your own page and not the user you clicked on. 2) Some facebook entries seem to not come through, again if they are simply a 'mobile upload' notification from facebook. HTC's app shows them just fine. 3) Lastly, while you can choose alternative viewers to use, there is no support for HTC's built in facebook nor twitter (aka peep) app. Overall it's a nice app, if you don't already have HTC sense enabled phones.. otherwise wait for an updated version to correct these issues.

While the UI isn't as nice as the stock HTC widgets, I still use it to combine Twitter and Facebook feeds. Very nice widget.

Similar to this dev's calendar widget, he has a nicely designed front-end UI for the widget itself, but the options screen is a disorganized mess of way too much scrolling. And options don't carry over to different widget size configs? Possibly that's an Android OS limitation, but it's still something the dev should try to work around more elegantly. Really, slim it down to 2-3 widget sizes, find the layouts that work most optimally, and cleanup the options - use some tabs if possible. Less is more sometimes.

Refresh doesnt work on Milestone 2.1 since last update. Refresh every 30 Minutes.

Life changing widget

Would get 5 stars if it auto-refreshed sms messages when new ones are received.

I wish it would work with more email apps (touchdown!) I don't understand why Pure Cal works with tons of 3rd party apps but Pure Mess doesn't.
