Hey. This app is pretty good. The notifications are on point. Things work. And best of all. I just type in the server name to join. Thanks. Definitely a worth of my $5

There are a large number of available IRC apps for Android, some good, some not. Of all of them, this is the best one I've ever used. It's stable, fast, and has the features I need in an IRC app for phone and tablet.

C70%
by C####:

Stable, easy to move between channels. My only real complaint is a lack of built in and configurable themes. 8/10 w/rice ;)

K70%
by K####:

Great app, works a treat. Best IRC app for Android. The developer is great. If you find any bugs just let him know and he responds and fixes them very quickly.

C70%
by C####:

Excellent interface for a mobile IRC client which can be customized to your liking. Highly functional and extremely stable. Lots of features. This client is well worth supporting.

H70%
by H####:

Works well, looks good, and no stupid, bloated interface. Uses least data out of all apps I tried.

C70%
by C####:

Great app.. Very snappy and responsive. It definitely feels better than any of the other clients on the market.

C70%
by C####:

This is quite an amazing piece of software!

C70%

Imho, this is the Android IRC client available.

S70%
by S####:

Since development ceased on my primary Android IRC app some time ago, this has been my new go-to app. I couldn't say enough positive things about it before, but now with the latest update it even works well on ChromeOS! Finally, a great IRC experience on my Pixel! Great work you guys. // UPDATE: Sent you an email; apologies for the delay...but the app is still working great. FINALLY a fantastic IRC app on ChromeOS!

C70%
by C####:

There can be more customisable options given on this. The most important feature I would like is, facility to E-Mail the conversations. Interface is not very impressing though.

S70%
by S####:

Whenever Im connected to wifi (unifi) . It cant seems to connect to any server of mirc. I have to use my mobile data to use it.

U70%
by U####:

Invalid host can't connect

C70%
by C####:

This is a stable client but the UI needs work in order to become modern and clean. It also needs font and colour customisation options.

G70%
by G####:

Lightweight unlike other clients. Has an elegant GUI. So good I paid for it again. (Developer offered to give it back free with proof of previous purchase. It was removed from playstore the first time due to having the word "Android" without a TM in it, according to the developer) Developer is nice guy and replies quick. The only suggestion I can come up with is more GUI sent commands for the very new people to IRC and more frequent updates.

B70%
by B####:

This client is excellent! Please my friend, consider : 1. Being able to configure how much scroll back 2.Being able to search the entire sentence for the nick match notification instead of looking only the first word 3.Maybe an hololight theme for day use :) :) Please :)... Thanks you for your excellent irc client. PS : Please allow us to have a white background :) ! White on black can become tiring for the eyes...

C70%
by C####:

Seems worth $5. Missing a couple features that I feel are super necessary for me, though. Being able to whois, ignore someone by the menu on long press on their message tab! Also, having an option to space between messages for better formatting / readability.

C70%

Works great and quickly on my BlackBerry Classic. Easy interface, easy set up, and rock solid stable. Would be perfect if it could 'greyout' away users, and if it had a light theme.

C70%
by C####:

After few months of using it on my new phone, I didn't like it, but unfortunately have no viable alternative. The most annoying issues: nick auto-complete should put colon+space when at the start of line (even andchat has this); users list is so narrow I can't even see one third of the users'nicks - this list should be expandable from the right and wide enough; when the own_nick/phrase is being matched in the chat, a more prominent highlight should be applied to the line where this occured - now I can barely discern the tiny highlight of the angular brackets in the sea of text; slow/stuttering scrolling and glitches when scrolling. Overall, not worth the hefty price tag!

C70%
by C####:

This is the best irc app, I really wish I could find out why the app disconnects after an hour of two of inactivity when others do not, but for any channel OP or anything more than a basic user, this app has it all! Easy on the eyes and great on battery life. Really wish that one issue was addressed.

C70%
by C####:

Best IRC app I've found so far, but it has issues with swiftkey and Bluetooth keyboards. The text input seems to get stuck open when I alt-tab to another app which locks the back button. Have to switch back to irc, click the text field, and then hit back in order to fix the issue.

C70%
by C####:

Just the best. Powerful and flexible. The only thing I'd ask for is capability to use SASL EXTERNAL so that it can be used to connect to the Freenode Tor Hidden Service. How is nick autocomplete accomplished?

C70%
by C####:

External SD card function is weird When it's checked to write to external SD card the download seems to work but when you go to access the file you downloaded it's not there and it shows space is used.. unchecked download to external SD card and it downloads to your internal SD card fine...

by C####:

This app works flawlessly with my S8+, looks great and offers tons of features and functionality. There's really no comparison, if you enjoy irc you will love this app.

C70%
by C####:

Been using for a while and it does most things right. Everything you can expect from a mobile irc client. Now only if I could figure out how to nick autocomplete...

P70%
by P####:

For 5 dollars I would expect more features such as aliases. Really the only thing missing.

N70%
by N####:

Best IRC client on Android by far. The others really suck.

Z70%
by Z####:

And this one seems the most feature rich and polished of them all. Will update as I grind it through daily use. Nice job, developer!

Q70%
by Q####:

I've been using this app for about a year now, VERY easy to set up and use, comes with pre-configured servers and has a nice pop out tray for users and channels, worth every penny!

H70%
by H####:

Works great and quickly on my BlackBerry Classic. Easy interface, easy set up, and never crashes anymore, it's rock solid stable. Only thing it's lacking now are some way of showing away status in the userlist, and having changeable themes. It would be nice to have an additional black text/white background theme for daytime usage.

G70%
by G####:

At this point I've tried most of the Android IRC apps. This one is by far my favorite. Feature rich, easy to use, and everything works as expected. Well worth the price.

J70%
by J####:

This app is updated and performs wonderfully. The developer is also amazing - responds to bugs very quickly. I'll be recommending this app to all of my friends!

Q70%
by Q####:

Good but currently not as good overall as one of its main (and abandoned) rivals. Few additions and it would be worthy purchase even with the sort of hefty price tag. ADD: The few very annoying things (after some use they get really annoying): nick auto-complete should put colon+space when at the start of line (even andchat has this); users list is so narrow I can't even see a third of the users'nicks - also the font size should be configurable, so a smaller size => more of the nicks would be seen; when the own_nick/phrase is being matched in the chat, a more prominent highlight should be applied to the line where this occured - now I can barely discern the tiny highlight of the angular brackets in the sea of text.

Y70%
by Y####:

Very user friendly and stable. Runs well on my tablet and phone. Adjusting the font size was very helpful for my phone as default was all confusing. Worth the money. Well done dev!
