But on cyanogenmod13 android 6, the notification icon is a blank white square....

Needs a way to copy chat text

N70%
by N####:

After using the free version for many years (exact same program, no limitations) I finally decided to donate to the coder. It's a very good IRC app, better than quite a few desktop ones and definitely among the best mobil IRC clients. Supports all important thimgs in IRC, like joining using SSL with a server pw or even SASL. Can even run auto-commands after join. Definitely my favourite mobile IRC client.

U70%
by U####:

Works great but if you close your keyboard before turning your screen off the channel will scroll to the top rather than staying at the bottom.

M70%
by M####:

I have one suggestion to this wonderful app, could the notification icon be changed from something other than a white square? Other than that, no complaints whatsoever, keep up the great work!

Worthy of a donation!

I would like to give 5stars since this app looks like real IRC client. But still this great app need a theme.

Nice app

Great

C70%
by C####:

App is easy to use even for those who aren't very familiar with irc. Thanks for making communication easier!

S70%
by S####:

Runs rock solid every day for years now on several phones. Love that reduced interface, and the possibility to define additional highlight words, found no other to replace. Battery load very low, also (but never deactivate the "channel tabs" on Lollipop). Dear developer: what can we do to make you continue development? Donate again?

C70%
by C####:

Well worth the donate :-)

N70%
by N####:

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Can't praise it enough over other android IRC clients I tried out.

N70%
by N####:

Irc is a simple protocol, and AndChat is a simple program. I spend a lot of time on irc because of a play by email rpg I'm involved in, and this app lets me stay involved on the go.

D70%
by D####:

Such a great app I thought I would donate. My only complaint is that I can't set up channel message notifications, but other than that I have no complaints. Simply the best IRC app for Android.

J70%
by J####:

I've been using it for years on every android device I've owned and it always works great.

N70%
by N####:

This client is very nice and totally usable on my TF201. The one thing that I think I would like to see is a nice homescreen widget that keeps an open IRC window open and updating.

N70%
by N####:

It's fast and light weight. Feature packed without looking like some try-hard IRC app with fancy graphics everywhere. Been using the free version for a year and have been happy with it the entire time. Worth the donation.

N70%
by N####:

Well worth the donation price to keep Al interested in developing this app! Like the best non-mobile clients, this app provides a great IRC experience without "overdoing"it.

U70%
by U####:

otherwise id give it 5 stars.

N70%
by N####:

The tablet ui doesn't seem to trigger under ICS/job. Will this be fixed in the future?

N70%
by N####:

There's a few things that could be improved in the app, but still light years ahead of all the others, so still 5 stars.

R70%
by R####:

Thanks for making this, it works great :)

Works perfectly on my 10.1 Galaxy. Free version there and happy to donate for phone use (SGS II). Keep up the good work!

N70%

I have used free-version for over two years and now I use donate-version. Thanks for your long-term development. This is the best.

N70%
by N####:

SASL support, works well.

K70%
by K####:

Only criticism is that nick search button/tab doesn't work. Once that is fixed, definitely a 5-star irc app.

Abandonware

S70%

Does what it says on the tin, no fuss.

K70%
by K####:

Loving the app so far! The only thing I'd like to see added is the ability to create user defined color themes. A stock Holo light theme would be a welcome addition as well.

U70%
by U####:

I tried the free version of this, and it was stunningly easy to use and set up. No ads or anything even though it was free. I saw the author had a donate version of it, so I figured as a thank you for making such a fine, functional app available for free, I had to purchase the "donate" version. The author didn't withhold features or put in ads or other spammy nonsense to try to bother us for our money, and so by NOT doing that, he earned mine and I'd very much encourage anyone else who enjoys the free version to get this one as well. The good, "non-confrontational" app authors are the rare ones out there and they're the ones we need to be supporting. My three bucks is now yours!

U70%
by U####:

Could do with better nick completion (requires a drag to action bar and multiple taps), but otherwise stable and great to use.

U70%
by U####:

What else can be said... Works super well, and i chose to purchase the donate version, even though the free version is exactly the same, just to support such a great app. That should speak volumes about the quality!

U70%
by U####:

Definitely worth the donation, I've enjoyed using AndChat more than the other (free or paid) clients I've tried on Android (nothing on iOS or WinPhone comes even close).

Could you add nickserve identify settings please? It would be convenient.

Excellent application. Do support!
