LilyPad Floating Chat for Android
"LilyPad HD finally makes it possible to rid yourself of the full-screen chat client on your tablet for something far more practical." – AndroidPolice.com
Originally coining the idea of 'chat heads' back in 2012, LilyPad HD is the first floating instant messaging/chatting app for your Android tablet and phone! Or how about those Samsung popup apps? Yup, LilyPad HD was there before that too. But unlike Facebook's Chat Head (chatheads) messenger, which limits you to only Facebook Messenger, LilyPad HD brings the floating chat/popup app idea to ALL of your favorite instant messaging services. That means you can now watch a YouTube video, surf the internet, or use any of your other apps while simultaneously chatting with your AIM, Yahoo, Jabber, Google Talk/Hangouts, MSN and yes, of course, Facebook friends!
With LilyPad HD, you can now have powerful multitasking capabilities just like on your desktop computer. LilyPad HD was designed to 'float' over all of your running applications!.

Doesn't support 2 factor and it should work with the Google account login on the phone, hasn't been updated in many years. It's a pity, this could have been good.
Has not been updated in two years, If your looking for a messenger app that supports the newer android versions, I'd pass on LilyPad.
It cannot log into anything. Love the concept but it does nothing.
Thus app seems to have been abandoned by the developers. Therefore, I'm forced to uninstall
Tried adding my Hangouts account, it keeps saying "Login failed" when I did enter the correct details.
not working on wifi tabs i pay for this on 2012 now with updates it will not work on wifi only tablets was good not bad needs update or payback
Not working, just a black tile.
Can't rate good because can't try out with the service I use
Opens a black box on my AT&T Note 4 and nothing else.
Can't really test this as hangouts is the only free thing to test, and login fails. Yes, I have tried 2 step auth and normal password. I can log in on a web browser just fine.
I paid for the full version but it won't let me log in to Facebook. Glitchy. Want my money back. No response from help desk.

Easy to use. Even if theres an ad below the chat box its not moving so it was great. No complains. I can now chat (hangout) without opening the whole program. Im so happy because it can be minimized on my notification dropdown thingy. So far no crashing.
If you add this feature, I will be so happy and I will actually use it.
What a terrible looking app! Not very handy either. I'll never be able to get the 3 minutes back that it took to try this piece of junk! Grrrr!
Opens a small black image only >.<
Got the app to work, but there are some features I wanted in the paid version that I can't access (says it uses an outdated IAP service), so no paid features for me. Also, when the black box shows up, just tap on it and it should go away and open the app up.
It WONT let me buy full version so I can add other accounts so I‘ve not tested it out, I hope they update it eventually so it has the new payment system support and new features.
Free version doesn't work with sms
Doesnt work. Just opens a black square and nothing else. On galaxy note 3
I absolutely love this client, it's just a shame it seems to have been abandoned.
The features advertised on this app do not work, so far only FB will connect. I thought the issue was 5.0...but it doesn't work with Jelly Bean either. I asked for a refund after purchase but so far I'm being ignored. Buyer beware, no update in over a year and ignored requests = abandoned app.
Not working, just a black tile.
With this app I can't use my device.
It doesn't open. When ever I try to open it, it crashes and hangs my tab for sometime. Please fix it.
UI is not pretty. Cannot send a message unless receiving one first. Chat window to send does not show who the message is going to. But promising.
Duplicate online buddies, blank online buddies, offline buddies mixed with online buddies... this app needs some work to be truly useful.
Keep getting nothing after setting up Google Hangouts. Need support for two steps authentication as well
Nice for having access to all your messages highly recommend.
I can't add any account. I just press on the account I want to add and it doesn't happen anything
Great way to take advantage of Android's multitasking! Can't wait til text are incorporated.
Easy to use. Even if theres an ad below the chat box its not moving so it was great. No complains. I can now chat (hangout) without opening the whole program. Im so happy because it can be minimized on my notification dropdown thingy. So far no crashing. I will observe for a week then I will buy the paid version.
Doesn't work Opens up a small black box that's it ! samsung Note pro android 4.4
but the design is rather complicated. I suggest looking at the messenger app for facebook messages. The chat heads are convienent, and its rather well designed. The only thing it lacks is the ability to have multiple accounts from various sources, like this one does. If the design and function is improved, this app will surpass it.
Might be abandoned.no longer works.buggy and promises of updates from Dev seem wishful thinking.
At first I loved the app but I didn't like the ads, so I bought the upgrade and I had to restart my nexus 7 and REINSTALL THE APP to get it to work but after I reinstalled it it worked like day 1 but better. I dislike this app because: 1. The upgrade is overpriced. 2. I had to REINSTALL it! I like this app because: my friend messages me on Google plus hangouts a lot and it keeps me from having to change apps consistently. 2. It's easy to use. 3. I just like it.
I noticed some graphical glitches and having the options window pop up when I sign in is a little annoying, but otherwise I think the app is fabulous.
Opens up a small black box in the middle of the screen, does nothing else. Plus, $3 for the "full' version is way too much.
This used to work great for me, now it crashes whenever I try to open it. I've reinstalled several times but it only crashes. I paid for it too. :(
