Unfortunately, Nimbuzz is firmly stuck in the past. But the world of messaging has moved on and these platforms have mostly disappeared. In the past, it had its uses: allowing you to chat to friends from different instant messaging platforms in one place. Unless you have a lot of friends who use Nimbuzz there is no reason why you'd want to download the app. The app also has an air of LINE about it with its in-app games and stickers, which you can buy (for real money) through its N-World community space. These chatrooms can be private or public. Nimbuzz harks back to the early days of messaging with its chatroom feature: you can join any chatroom or create one of your own and add your friends. This compares to Skype's pay-as-you-go rate of $0.028. A call from United States to a mobile phone in Spain, for example, costs $0.02610 per minutes. The price of this service is very competitive. If you buy credit you can also make low cost calls to mobiles and landlines. If you want to spice up these messages you can add emoticons or drag and drop multimedia such as photos, audio, and videos. The features are limited to sending text-based messages to friends on Nimbuzz (if you know anyone using the service) and Facebook Chat (maybe Hangouts support will come soon, who knows).

The app has clearly not had a lot of love lately as it lags behind PC versions of other messaging services, such as Telegram, Viber, and the recently launched WhatsApp Web.
