Finally: a hangouts client and all around Apply chat application - UPDATED

I got this app because it supports Google Hangouts chats. Now I’m using it with three different Google accounts and my Facebook account. It’s a rock solid all around chat application, with a much cleaner UI and better workflows than iMessage or any other chat application I’ve tried thus far. If you’re tired of leaving Chrome open just so you can miss Google Hangout messages, this app is for you; if you have multiple Google accounts you use chat with, this app is for you. Highly recommended. Is it flawless? No, but it’s pretty dang close and does a really nice job of doing what it does do.

UPDATE: I had to update my review and drop a star because this developer has decided to jump on the annoying workflow boat and automatically prefixes a message’s “: “ information anytime you copy/paste text from a message. I fricken’ hate that pattern!!!! Maybe, maybe it wouldn’t be bad if I selected the message by triple-clicking it or something, but when I explicitly highlight some text and copy it, I expect what I paste to match it EXACTLY. Chrome is starting to do this by prefixing “http://“ in front of copied URLs. Don’t do that, it’s fricking annoying. Otherwise the update seems good.

NOTE: I have absolutely no problem using Flammingo with multiple hangouts accounts, including Google Apps based ones. That’s precisely what I use it for.
