Social Pro for Facebook, Twitter, Gmail & Google+ App Reviews

Facebook notifications dont always function properly, and Gchat types double letters, lliikkee tthhiiss ALL THE TIME. Was OK, now pretty cruddy. Not worth the money yet.

It freezes a lot but other than that it is pretty good when it isnt frozen.

I wasnt expecting much after reading the reviews, but it turned out to be awesome (although, this is the only experence Ive had with an App like this). The program itself is relatively light weight (average memory use is around 120 MB), fast, and responsive. I mainly bought it for the gchat features (in-browser chat is a pain), but Ive been using both facebook chat and gmail quite a bit. Ive only had the program for a couple hours, but I havent had any problems with the chat features that other people have mentioned. Gmail works well too. Im hoping itll replace Mail for everything except writing emails. One VERY minor complaint is that the menu icon is ugly. Its too small to really tell what it is, and ends up looking like a Rorschach test. Also, I should mention, if you plan on using twitter, youre going to want to change its notification preferences. The default has it refresh every 30 seconds, which means every 30 seconds youll get a ding telling you about new tweets. As far as features Id love to see in the future - the ability to facebook video chat and Skype support. I understand that this program mainly relies on the mobile versions of these networks, but maybe theyll figure something out. (note: I tested the program with a MacBook Pro running OSX Lion 10.7.1)

Ive tried almost every facebook, gmail, google+, and twitter menubar apps and this one is levels above the rest. the only change this needs is better notifications. the ones implemented now are still better than the rest BUT it would be PERFECT if the popup notification showed more detail (rather than just "1 Facebook notification" it would be nice to see "Facebook: so and so liked your status"). Just a suggestion really. Still a 5 star must have app! Keep up the awesome work.

Needs support for multiple Twitter accounts and it would be better.

Okay, Im already in love. I barely took 30 seconds to set up my accounts and with one sweeping glance, I knew it had every feature I wanted. The networks are basically the mobile versions, which means I get the live feed on my Facebook, Google+, and Twitter, plus notifications when someone messages/posts to me directly. But my favorite is the email - I am a heavy emailer, and now having ONE app open for all my social networks AND email is just amazing. The only issue right now is that when I change a setting in the preferences, I click "OK" and then the entire window disappears and the application quits. Im contacting the developer now, but otherwise this app is the real deal.

A nice app, but seems to be unstable in Lion. Has crashed a couple of times, but when it is working it works very well. Hoping that multiple Twitter accounts are supported soon, along with crossposting on social accounts.

…with Growl notifications. Pleeeeease?

the facebook chat feature does not work with the new mobile facebook, please update

This is just a window of the mobile versions of these sites. The facebook chat doesnt work at all, it just returns Facebooks 404 page. Not worth the money imo.

It does what its supposed to do, and is a really nice app. I hope to see support for other networks in the future.

This app is absolutely awesome. I can jump from gmail to facebook to gtalk to twitter without having to clutter up my web browser tabs or my desktop space. Its also great that it consolidated all these platforms, so I dont have to get 4 or 5 different apps. However, the app froze on me quite a few times in the 2 days that Ive been using it. So I dont know if it means there are bugs or something. Anyway, the rest of my mac works fine when Social Pro is frozen, so I tried to force quit the app. However, since it is only an icon in the menu bar (which I quite like except for this problem), theres no way for me to force quit since I cant click it at all. When I open up force quit from the apple symbol menu, Social Pro does not show up either. So if I wanted to use Social Pro, I would have to restart my computer and reload everything I have open just so I can facebook or check my mail. Its almost more convenient to open up all those pages in a web browser instead, which defeats the purpose of the app. So if this problem can be fixed somehow, I would definitely give it 5 stars. But right now, the number of times its crashing and the inconvenient way of fixing it is just far too troublesome.

This app worked great the first day. Now when I use it, all of the tabs but Facebook are completely blank and will not refresh. Only Facebook is refreshing content. The other tabs dont even show old content from G+, Twitter, or Gmail. Theyre just empty pages. I hope this bug gets fixed soon - how quickly a seemingly great app becomes completely useless. A paid one, nonetheless.

I originally gave this app 4 stars, but since then the app has had a few bugs since then. Its still the best app for compbining google facebook and twitter, so I dont have to be running 3 apps at once, but I have issues with Google+ logging out or freezing and notifications have pretty much stopped working all togther. But Id use this app over Tab for Facebook and such.

I often have to force close this app and restart it as it is really buggy and tends to not load properly. Also, for google chat, I have noticed that the most common people I talk to, now show up as unavailable, literally marking them as offline (And i do not have them blocked or anything since I see everyone online when I load into gmail or when they message me). Rather annoying that the most talked to people are blackballed.

Having a "sale" for this version which is essentially crippleware and then charging again to get what I thought I was buying in the first place [ version 2 ] is simply wrong. Developer has to identify this issue on the app purchase site so people know they are not buying a current version. [ Note : A current version 2 will cost one an "upgrade" fee ] DO NOT BUY Review of version 2 : 1. Trying to sign into an email account associated with google apps creates a condition where I am told there is a conflicting accounts issue. Signing in as I do normally in a browser does not give me a similar warning so I have to conclude the problem results from social pro. 2. Interface seems to randomly flip between one made for desktop and one made for mobile for no discernible reason.

I bought this in Oct 2011 for the purpose of having my social media accounts easily accessible in one spot. For about 2 weeks, it worked great and I didnt have to go on the web to log into anything. Closer to the end of October, none of the tabs would refresh except for Facebook. I thought that since this is a PAID app, there would be an update to fix this because everything was once working properly. Nearly 3 months later and no update to fix any of the issues and the developers put out a 2.0 version thats suppose to iron out the issues that the app has and the only way to get it is to PAY again through their website! Thats HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!!!!! I already paid $4 for this app to do what its advertised to do and now Ill have to pay again in order to get it to work 100% when its suppose to work in the first place?!! You guys are running a SCAM!!!!! Dont buy anything from these THIEVES!!!!!!

so I took the bait, I upgraded on THEIR SITE, to version 2.0. They were kind enough to give me a coupon code(thank you), but it seems they might not have tested this on 10.6.8, its VERY VERY VERY crash/hang prone, speaking of v2.0 specifically. Version 1.x had a ton of issues sharing its preferences (between apps) with other social apps by them, "social for twitter, social lite, etc", but now, with v2.0, Im getting my system frozen by system processes(sometimes google specific ones). Please dont cower to the review system on the App Store, it urges/forces you to better your software, fix bugs, etc; its harsh, but aids in refining software if the developer is responsive. I appreciated the coupon code for the upgrade to v2.0(though would have preferred to upgrade on the appstore for MORE $$$), but have had to restove version 1.10 just to prevent constant crashes and the login for google plugin just hanging perpetually. Seriously, get back on the appStore, it will force you to better your software, if you heed the feedback in the reviews.

I got this app when it was on special (free), so I dont feel too bad about the shortcomings.

This really really really is a great concept. I had such high hopes for it replacing a twitter app, facebook and google+ page open, as well as having iChat open for all the things I do… but alas, it did work. Choked on twitter. Facebook alerted me, but then there was nothing there. It wouldnt even open google+ Look forward to checking this out in the future, but for now… Ill leave it on the shelf!
