QQ

Was QQ developed by the Chinese government? Or on their behalf?

Connect to the Chinese social network ? This is the biggest mistake anyone could make !

Don't worry the CCP app is Intel only for only for current Mac Pro!

Great for backing up your whole computer and chats. Not sure how to restore though.

Expect to be surveilled. That's always the case in China.

The International version can't log me in in English - reverts to a Chinese screen.. Useless.

Great surveillance technology out of the chinese government. Anybody using this should consider switching to xmpp apps like Monal or Beagle. Or use Signal or other encrypted chat solutions.

Not good shan_zhai_huo

Most often used social software in China. But remains security issue for many years.

A bloatware with so many useless fucktions. It starts several threads and keeps them running.

I have been a frequent QQ user for several years. I taught at a university in central China for a while, and have made many extended trips to China. I have QQ on my home and office computers, and my iPhone and iPad. The problem from a non-Chinese speaker point of view is that since version 2.2 they have not done the English language localization, so it is essentially impossible to use if you cannot read Chinese. It irritates me that the iOS version keeps pestering me to upgrade. I give it some stars for being feature-rich, and improving, but the language issue is a deal breaker for the rest of the world.

as a Chinese guy from mainland China,It's really funny to see u guys taiking about that IM software.

I like QQ

Though as same as MSN, Skype. But QQ got more functions and more emoticons to express what you want to say, or what you are thinking about.right? So QQ is more attractive for me. Especially its logo penguin is very cute.

QQ is very popular in china, and it works well in Windows. We can use MSN, Skype …rather than QQ for Mac.

why you guys want to use qq so badly? qq is a product from a chinese company, the entire conversation on qq is being RECORDED, that means, every word you say on qq is under surveillance by crappy chinese government. DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING FROM CHINA!

Some might be interested in the QQ plugin for Adium: http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=x ... ra_id=8226. It requires Adium 1.5 (http://beta.adium.im).

I have been trying to use the English version of QQ for ages. Even with this update, I still cannot log into my THIRD new QQ account. Why so many QQ accounts? Because every time I try to log in with the latest id number and password, it says 'Incorrect Password.' I am certain of the password, but it does that every time with even old archived versions of QQ on my Mac. It also makes you enter a captcha image as an insult to injury too. The only recourse is to try to retrieve the password which has not been lost. Next, trying to retrieve the password proves futile, as the site now poses questions such as 'Name of Spouse' when I have never had a spouse, nor entered any security questions before. Clicking 'try another question', gives a combination of the same questions with 'Name of Spouse' in the mix. As such, I have to re-register. Anyone else have the same issues? N.B. Stars rating needless to say should be less than 0.

I am quite pleased with this version. It is stable, and functional. I don't think I should mark it down because the Win version is better. I feel fortunate that there is a Mac version at all. This version has an English interface, which, as far as I can tell, is not possible on the current iOS version.

QQ 1.4 is out, with cross platform video. Beware, a Windows version on the other side must be also recent, otherwise video chats don't work.
