SHAPE GmbH is out with a new version of its cool IM+ Pro app, which puts all the popular instant messaging platforms on your iDevice for $4.99 / €4.49.

IM+Pro version 7.9.1 uses a new authentication mechanism for VK.com (VK.com API instead of VK.com XMPP) which requires the account to be re-added. It’s a bummer, but it also ensures you don’t leak any private information (or worse).

Next in line for this update is the app’s new ability to restore OTR sessions automatically. Finally, users who update will get new contact list sorting options, including by name and by status.

IM+ Pro is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad and requires iOS 5.0 or later. The app is fully optimized for iPhone 5 and tablet devices.
