AndroIRC

This is a great IRC client, the design is nice diverse settings and I might end up throwing the money down for this client. The one thing it lacks is robust auto reconnect with settings for it. If the author added this I'd say this is the best IRC client on Android.

Hello, There is an bug in AndroidIRC. It disconnect by ** You are now disconnected (Ping timeout) please resolve this issue thanks.

Unfortunately I think the devs have abandoned it at this point, no news since May 2015, and I have frequent timeouts from my bouncer. Frustrating considering this was the best IRC app available while they supported it.

PROS: Now that I've used this more it's starting to grow on me. Resume on DCC transfers is supported and that is a big deal! Seeing how androirc is the only client that supports it. CON: no bandwidth options of any kind, AndroIRC steals all the available bandwidth for DCC downloads...not cool when you don't have those options available/accessable in the router you're connecting through not to mention data plans. CON: opening irc links from the web browser not handled well.

Have been using ANDchat. Love it with exceptions: (1) I cant copy from the backscroll. (2) It disconnects, web pages, switch from wifi to/from mobile data. n. I fear in-app purchases. What are they? AndChat has no ads. AndChat has SASL, autojoin, logging, colors, font size control, inpur history, nick completion. It is a great program; 2 desires.

Its a good app for irc on android, but if you dont use the servers they have you have to enter your own and it doesnt have an option to save it. It is very tedious to enter an alternate server when you use the app alot.

Locks up my note 5 running stock 6.0.1 and will not work at all since last update. Would be 5 stars but it no longer functions for me.

Can we get an import and export function on configuration? I have some long server passwords I can't paste so this would be really helpful

**Update** As promised, increasing the rating as i can download books again!! This app was working like a charm till the last upgrade which broke it. I can no longer download books through the app and that was the only reason I installed it in the first place. I'll increase my rating if this can be fixed

I always lose connection at some point and the channels get strike-out and it won't reconnect. I have to start a new server connection. I wish it would reconnect properly.

It would be nice to have the ability to run on boot and automatically reconnect on disconnect or perhaps a scripting system (written in javascript or a custom syntax) where users can customize how the app works, sort of like mIRC.

Works well, but long-term usability suffers from lack of small but essential features: autoreconnect, colored nicks, monospace font. These are not hard to implement and would improve the experience a lot.

Apart from a Notify facility (if it's there I can't find it) this excelent app does everything you could need.

My nick is ram. I ignored ddy|ram. Somehow that put me on ignore, and I can't figure out how to unignore. But hey, otherwise it's a great app

Would be nice to have the option to switch to hamburger menu channel switcher. Scrolling through can be a chore and have accidentally closed channels a few times

I changed the settings and still won't automatically identity me, so i have to put in my password every time. Uninstalling

Update: @blinkseb on Twitter recently said an app update is incoming! I give this app four stars because of one issue and three missing features. The issue I have is that occasionally, after some time in the background, AndroIRC will disconnect from the servers and then will reconnect fresh when switched back to. For features, it would be nice (especially in regards to the above issue) if the last 20 or so lines from the last session were shown when rejoining the same channel on the same server. Logging is already built-in so this seems easy to add. Second, on servers that use NickServ authentication it would be nice if the NickServ query tab is suppressed during the initial connection. Having to close these queries gets tedious after a while. Last, I'd like an option to dismiss the user list drawer on tablets, being able to summon it with a swipe from the right just like on phones.

Works well with a bouncer, mIRC colors are perfect. Love the custom notification list, especially that its per server. Few suggestions though: 1) Fix the rotation in the settings even though I have it disabled on my phone. 2) Colored nicks 3) Make max history size per server, as highlight list is. 4) Add a confirgurable reconnect attempt feature, like AndChat's. Overall though, very nice and well thought out app!

Why is it so difficult to completely exit out the app. Sometimes I find myself still connected when I thought I disconnected. Nope it's stuck running in the background eating up my data when I'm not on my Wi-Fi.

I'm having problems with Wi-Fi and connection with this app. I can connect to the server when I'm using mobile data, but I can't connect to any server via Wi-Fi. I have tried this on many different Wi-Fi connections, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I have also tried restarting the device, all to no avail.

One or two irritations, but great overall. One, i often use an unconventional internet connection (usb) and this app refuses to join new server since "there's no connection" but connects just fine if its autoconnect on launch. Two, please only rotate the screen if it is enabled on device... Three, please add a confirmation dialog to closing a channel, as it has happened accidentally a few times now

Just needs colored nicks and easy 5 star. Would even pay for it!

The best designed and function-wise irc client on android I think. Only downside its a bit too pricey for a leisure/chat app. The technology is old, all APIs are well known etc etc so the price should hit bottom, I wouldn't hesitate to pay if it is, and I think many would agree.

Looks great, has plenty options, doesn't drain battery like crazy, and has no issues with bouncers. Only problem is with nick completion, it doesn't add a comma or colon and space after doing so, which is a minor nuisance when trying to address someone.

The main problem with this app is notification. You have only from query or if someone use your nickname in a channel. It is really so difficoult to improve it? Everything else works just fine.

ignoring with the ip address isn't working and it's annoying .. fix and you'll have my 5 stars .. great work!

Two advertised features simply don't work - androirc will not authentic me to Freenode either through SASL or nickserv. Also, it will not reconnect to the network, even though the setting is turned on. I'm off to search for a new IRC client, this one ain't it.

I cannot see someone's idle/online time, also i can't set an away msg longer than 1 single word (is not taking more) and the interface..must be changed a bit.. Maybe nice colours, dark theme.. Similar to irccloud

And beyond working as one would expect. .. they also had trick or treat as the advice on Halloween! I'd give extra stars for style if I could!

It is a very good app but the latest update screwed it up. Before that, I could have stayed logged in for days and never got disconnected.

I can no longer connect to any of the servers on the app. I now have high speed internet and even that won't. Servers still work with mibbit so they're not offline.. Please fix.

Would just like the /List command to be more organised, such as sorting by users or alphabetical.

There are few issues I had when using this app. First, sometime I cannot connect to server I want while other app can connect right away. Secondly, whenever large file (300mb or above) download finished, this app error and force close. This app would perfect if these issues are solve.

Very well written application. It takes me back to when I was a mIRC script kiddy in the 90's/early 2k's when I made very clean and elegant themes.

There is no support for this app. The irc channel is abandoned, the twitter is dead, the facebook is dead, the "AndroIRC Support Centre" website is gone. So if you have any problems, well. Maybe you'll get lucky and find help in the community. I liked the app, but no support is a serious problem.

Always connects as AndroUser, which is in use on freenode. Unusable. Edit: once you connect to a channel, you are stuck with the nick you had in settings. Changing the settings then has no effect. Uninstall/reinstall required to fix, then stuck again once you connect to freenode. Fix for 5 stars.

app works perfectly fine. If there is an option to keep the screen awake, it would be very good. Not that it has to be the default, though.

I KNOW ITS NOT THE RIGHT TIME TONIGHT, BUT I WONT MOVE UNTIL IT STOPS, GO BACK TO THE TOP, OOOOOH, BACK TO THE TOP

You still has ads in today's world? No thank you I'll just pick up a IRC version that does everything this can do, and possibly better which also doesn't have ads.
