About Weechat Android

This is a Relay Client for the Weechat IRC client. It allows you to connect your phone/tablet to your Weechat client and read/reply to your messages while away from your computer.

This is *NOT* a fully featured IRC client. It requires weechat running on a server to connect to. If you are looking for a standalone IRC client you will need to look elsewhere.

Broke with Nougat, can't connect at all. No configuration changes in app nor on my server. Reach out of you need more information!

L70%

I've gone through all, and I mean all of them, and this definitely the best. I know this is basically not a real IRC client, but it is still the best.

Still doesn't work on nougat when you use ssh tunnel. It's been almost a year now.

I used this app every day, and I've been doing that for quite some time and it served me well. But the latest update just made it so much better!

fantastic app when it does work, but clearly doesn't like nougat - has not been successfully connecting since then. dev, hit me up for details - no bug report option in the app as far as I can tell. forced to use glowing bear at the moment and this app is definitely superior to it.

I've gone through all, and I mean all of them, and this definitely the best. I know this is basically not a real IRC client, but it is still the best. I would give a solid 5 starts but there's a small bug: the app crashes on open if there are no new messages on any of the channels. Or at least it seems like that's the reason. Happenes on both, Marshmallow and Nougat. Otherwise the app work amazingly.

R70%
by R####:

Installed Weechat into an ArchLinuxARM chroot, rsync'd my config files from my desktop, ran it in a term and connected to localhost in the app. 1010 My only gripe is that it doesn't like my physical tab key.

V70%
by V####:

I re installed the app, after having my phone reset to factory settings, I loaded the current version, but a problem won't let me get past the settings page.

U70%
by U####:

Weechat android connects like usual, but then no more data is transmitted. No buffers or anything. Weechat reports 0 data transmitted. Using the dev version of weechat android doesn't work either. No matter how I use ssh-keyscan it always says "Error: Auth fail".

Works fantastic! Opens native apps for websites more reliably than other softwares. Would donate if I could.

N70%
by N####:

I have Weechat running on a server + this app on the phone. It's the perfect combination. I used a ssh Client + screen before which was ok but this works much better. Thx!

V70%
by V####:

Previously I was using LemonSSH to connect to my server with weechat in a GNU screen. Many of the extra windows and splits had conditions to be displayed that checked for terminal width to make it somewhat usable. This a huge upgrade. :)

Will drain battery from nfull to 15 in an hour or 2

U70%
by U####:

Requires Weechat relay to be available externally. Regardless, best IRC client for Android hands down.

Does everything you would expect and more...if you already know what to expect from a WeeChat relay client. Don't forget to dig in the options for settings like Connect on launch and Tab button for nick competition.

W70%
by W####:

Had some crashing issues at first but now it works like a charm. The only thing missing is loading earlier messages, like in Glowing Bear. Also, it loses the scroll position when focus is lost.

Y70%
by Y####:

Can't change buffers without minimising the keyboard.

Y70%
by Y####:

Nothing changed in the serverside config, and I reentered everything in the client. It fails with "wrong password" even though there's no password on the server.

I wish more IRC clients had this kind of interface and user experience!

Y70%
by Y####:

Very nice to use on both tablets and phones. Nice amount of customization and the SSH tunnel feature is a cool extra. And it's completely free and open source, with no in-app purchases or ads, which is hard to come by these days.

Great app, very handy for IRC on-the-go.
