I just installed this on my site and had an issue with a site setting. Tech support responded quickly and everything is running great.
I used to use CometChat, but it didn't work with my iOS devices. The chat bar was also fixed and scrolled with the text, often blocking content. Now, the chat bar stays right where it is supposed to be and everything works very well.

Smooth install, smooth configuration.
Worked Out of the Box.
Integrates nicely with Jomsocial
1 suggestion would be tho to give back end more control over color of actual component as visible on front end, instead of requiring modification of the source to do so.

This is a great chat system. The installation is quick and easy. The backend options are very clear to understand. It auto recognizes the most popular community plugins. It would be great to have that option auto enable it but that is nothing major.
The price is very fair. However, it would be better if they include how to modify the chat software visually with the download and not a la carte. Luckily, I did not need to buy it but there are some Joomla users that are not familiar with how to edit those options.
I would recommend this extension to other users. I did look at their competitors and this one is (in my opinion) one of the best ones for the features and seamlessness it offers.

I will give this product a 5 star rating. I have tried other chat programs before I come across this one. After installation I had problem with the sound due to other libraries on my joomla site, I contacted the support and within 30 mins the issue was resolved. I will highly recommend this chat software to anyone who want to include chat functionality to their website.
