Users Can't Stand the Fresh Yahoo Messenger Desktop App
User feedback on Yahoo's fresh Messenger desktop app is not the response Yahoo hoped for when it determined to bring back its Messenger service on the desktop.
Back at the commence of June, Yahoo announced it determined to pull the buttplug on its classic Yahoo Messenger app, which it hadn't updated for a few years anyway.
The company determined to concentrate on a Messenger client that only worked on the Web and via its iOS and Android applications.
Users reacted with sadness to the news, pleading with Yahoo to proceed to support the app.
Yahoo Messenger brought back from the dead at the end of July
At the end of July, Yahoo announced that it had a switch of heart and launched a fresh desktop client for Windows, albeit a different one from the old desktop app we knew and loved. That desktop client ceased to work on August Five, when the servers that powered it were shut down for good.
Users who didn't know of the emerging shutdown went to the Yahoo Messenger website and downloaded the fresh desktop client, thinking they'd get an updated version.
What they found was a stripped-down version of the old app, which lacked many of the features that made it excellent. As you'd expect, users didn't react very well.
Users aren't reacting well to the fresh Yahoo Messenger desktop client
Presently, the Yahoo Messenger Desktop feedback forum is packed with vitriol slung at Yahoo's fresh app. The top three and the sixth most voted topics are from people asking Yahoo to bring back the old Messenger.
The others are just people complaining, sometimes in all caps, about the lack of features that were included in the former app. Some of them were what made Yahoo Messenger different, or are basic IM features that, unbelievably, the fresh version lacks.
Here's a list of some of the main topic names presently trending on the feedback forum:
I want the old messanger back!
I want the old messenger back on PCs
I can not have Movie talk on this messenger
I can not see the status of my contacts. Are they online, are they offline?
BRING BACK THE OLD ONE!! This fresh version is horrible. I cannot invite contacts plus many other items that are terrible.
this messenger is not user friendly, i can't see the talk persion pic, cant movie talk, can't see if the user is online or not ?
I predict this is the end of YM
No wonder Yahoo is going out of business.
Fresh messenger is totally broke
You get the point!
