GG (Gadu-Gadu)

GG (Gadu-Gadu) is one of the most popular instant messenger in Poland. During years after it appeared on the market, this chat application was upgraded significantly, offering users not only the ability to chat without limits with their online friends but to also customize their chat experience and access many additional features such as built-in online radio, e-mail client, online storage drive and even load specific apps such as multimedia music streaming, social network apps (Twitter) and even games such as Farmville.

Since it received the latest visual upgrade, this app has continued to evolve and attract more active users. Today it regularly keeps in contact with over 6 million Polish-speaking users, while at the peak of its popularity it had over 11 million active users.

Polish-speaking users and those who want to come in contact with millions of like-minded Polish people are encouraged to download and test the latest version of this app. GG (Gadu-Gadu) is free for use and can be installed on any modern version of Windows (XP and newer).

It is important to note that its interface has full support for the English language and that this app can also be enjoyed (without many of its PC-specific features) on modern mobile platforms.

Installation and Use

Even though GG is a chat client, it comes with such a wide variety of tools and features that its installation package has grown to an impressive size of over 50MB! Once installed, you will be welcomed with a splash screen that will point you to either create a new user account or enter your old credentials.

The main window of the app is its Contact List tab that will be populated with all your contacts. All contacts can be organized in the way you want, with pinned users, starred users, favorite users, and renamable groups (such as Work, School, etc.). There you will also get specific notifications for search results, invites, group creators, and more. The other primary tabs on offer are History & Notifications, Email client (with fully featured controls for managing your specific GG email account, you cannot import your Gmail, Hotmail, or other popular email credentials),  GG Disk (3GB of online space for hosting of your files that can be easily shared in chat or email correspondence), Radio (access to a wide array of public internet radio stations).

Chats can be made in groups or in one-on-one settings. Chat users can also matchmake together as a party into supported games, share files, links, or videos during the chat.
