Download Trillian Astra 5.0 build 32

Cerulean Studios has released the final release of version 5.0 of the instant messaging program Trillian Astra. Trillian Astra allows chatting with users of many instant messaging and social networks, including Windows Live, ICQ, Skype (text only), Twitter and Facebook. Trillian Astra is available for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android and BlackBerry. In addition, there is a version that runs in a web browser and can therefore be used anywhere.

Version 5 mainly improves social media capabilities and adds support for Foursquare. In addition, some features that previously belonged to the paid pro version are now also offered in the free version, including the ability to customize the appearance and to log in from different locations. A small contribution is still required to save chats in the cloud, so that, for example, a conversation started on a desktop or laptop can be continued on the road from the point where the conversation was interrupted, while retaining the history, and chat without ads.

Trillian 5: Chat everywhere. For free.

Trillian is going free for desktop and mobile, starting today with Trillian 5!

Themes, an awesome activity history viewer, and all the rest of Trillian’s great features will now be available to everyone! This is an exciting step forward and means our users will always experience the best products we have to offer. To continue to reward our amazing paying customers, Trillian Pro will carry on as a way to contribute to our development efforts directly, hide ads across all versions, and unlock the ability to store your chat history online. We hope you’re as excited as we are and will continue to support Trillian and spread the word!

The free versions of our mobile products are not live yet but we are working on finishing them up right now. We’ve put a brief Q&A together below with additional details – happy chatting, and thanks for using Trillian!

What’s going free? All previous Trillian Pro features: the ability to sign in from multiple locations, themes, the activity history viewer, and every other minor feature previously available to Pro subscribers only! We are also hard at work on free versions of all mobile editions of Trillian, which should be making their way to an app store near you shortly.

How will the new Trillian Pro service work? Pro service can be purchased yearly. We’re setting the price at $12 per year, or basically a dollar per month. As long as your account is a valid Pro account, you won’t see advertising on any platform and can store your chats online. However, if you’ve already purchased Trillian 5, you’ve been grandfathered into Pro!
