WhatsApp and PingChat

[JohnnyBravo1000]

Are these two apps worth having? I've just downloaded and installed WhatsApp on my Desire and it seems ok in principle. I've just fired off a few messages, so it will be interesting to see if any of them deliver and if I get any replies.

Which is better? How do they affect battery life?

I use both, as some of my friends use Ping, and some use Whatsapp. I prefer the layout of Whatsapp to Ping's.

Maybe I haven't figured it out yet, but Whatsapp was able to tell me on installation which of my contacts use it, and automatically set them up as Whatsapp contacts. For Ping, I have to add people manually, by searching for their phone numbers or user names.

I'm not sure about battery life, someone else might be able to chime in on that.

Whatsapp is not free. So screw it.
