I use AndroIRC because it seems to provide the most stable connection. I do however find it very frustrating that, while I'm busy typing a message to one user, another user's message will pop up and the message I was typing to the previous user is then displayed in the new user's type box. This takes me away from the conversation I was busy with, but it also means you either send the message to the wrong user, or have to copy/paste or retype the message to the intended user.
It's decent for a Android Irc Client but if you multitask and open browser or another app sometimes you go back to chat and have lost connection so have to log back in. Unfortunately, Android will never be as good as a PC with windows for these devices.
A good app, but has some issues. Sometimes drops the connection and doesn't warn you, especially when switching between WiFi and mobile data. However, it generally serves its purpose, but could do with some maintenance.
uninstalled, reinstalled. Works fine now. Please for the love of all that is sane, add a black (as in #000000) background parent theme mode and allow using a monospaced font. Also please do not force full screen edit when in landscape orientation -- turn off the header and channel select bar in that orientation when the keyboard is visible to get more space.
Works ok except when you press on a word or letters to copy then paste something, it will not let you choose what to copy. It does it automatically. And it copies like a whole sentence. Instead of just copying the numbers or words between the spaces. Change it to when you press or something it only copies what is in between the spaces. Or have the blue dots so you can choose what you want to copy
It has issues with channel names using symbols like % in their titles, and some wonky behavior while closing queries that force closing the app, but other than that it's a very reliable IRC client. It might just need some refreshing it's all.
OK, so as a fellow developer, I really hate writing negative reviews for apps, but it is totally unacceptable that an ordinary ipv4 address can't be given as a server address and gets rejected with "syntax error". It certainly doesn't fill me with confidence. I tried going to the support link on the website to inform someone without writing a review on the store, but that link doesn't work either.
Whenever I'm writing in one PM and someone else PM's me everything I'm typing automatically transfers to a window I wasn't intending on writing in. If the person's channel nick is earlier in the alphabet, what I just described happens. If the person's nick comes after in the alphabet it freezes my keyboard and i have to tap the space where the post is displayed.
download file not working. I send download request and when the file is sending (from bot I think), nothing happened. A while later I got notification download pending and try resend the file again until timeout. I have no clue
I can't login to freenode because it asks to change my nick as it's already taken however; in the back ground I see it logs in for me but my options are to change or disconnect. If the popup just would wait authentication does seem to eventually happen. Kind of strange.
this is a 3 star app.. it only lets you join 3 channels. is dont have all the servers on it.. cmon??? i mean the old mirc scripts came with auto lol, lmao,omg, not this.. this app is more bland than an old mirc program .. worse cause you cant see the users auto. but it did work i was able to function the app.. but im well aware of irc i dunno if a newb would find this as amusing.. add to this and you may have something..
I like the app that's why I'll give it 3 ☆'s but I wish you guys would make an update so it works on Android 11 system I keep getting booted from the system and it's not the people in the chat rooms that boot me out . The whole application cuts out and resets.
I don't know what's wrong with this app it worked perfectly fine on my previous 2 mobile devices Huawei mate 10 lite and P10 but now that I own the Huawei P30 the app opens and closes instantly on each own. What is wrong with it? Please fix.
Sloppily written, client disconnects from servers with a read error every few minutes if your phone idles. This client is a plague to servers. Please do not use it.
ping timeout.. where is option to auto reconnect. stupid thing sits there disconnected while there is connectivity available... annoying manually reconnecting.
Very easy to use. I do not know why this app has such bad reviews, it's my backup IRC app just in case my main one doesnt connect. Keep up the great work
it works, and its free, it has a good UI too, but several times a day it fails giving a 'software caused an abort' or 'disconnect'
Donno what the hell is wrong with this app. Works well for a while, then won't let you sign into a specific channel. Very sucky
Brilliant IRC client. Only thing I would like to see added is a way to create a macro in the app. A way to quickly type useful messages in the server I am on that are commonly used
it was an ok, basic irc client. But then it started spouting random text all over the channel. I wont use it again.
I have restarted my phone but the app is still not working. What happened? The only one working is on pc. But on mobile isn't. It's useless. Come on, fix it guys.
what kind of irc client doesn't have a setting to turn off autojoin and auto reconnect? Timing out and rejoining over and over is what gets you banned from channels!
Works great!!! Never crashed. Also, all the settings work. Its a all around great IRC client
Works, but it insists on running in the background after quitting, requiring aggressive measures to kill it :( No reason for that.
I believe the low rating has to do with a handful of bugs that haven't been addressed as the app has not been updated in more than five years. That being said, it works great for my purposes, which is primarily downloading. I really wish I could set my download folder to SD card, but that's my only issue after a year of using. Other user's experience may vary. If you're looking for a free irc client that has popular features try it out. If you don't mind paying $5 get irc for android.
