Quasseldroid
REQUIRES A QUASSEL CORE – DOES NOT WORK AS STANDALONE IRC CLIENT
• Use IRC on the go – thanks to the Quassel core, you’ll never miss anything
• Always have your entire chat history available – just scroll up to load older messages, the core keeps them for you
• Be notified when someone messages you – even if you had no connection in the meantime
Soon to come:
• Direct Push Notifications
• Full backlog search – search through every message you ever sent or received
Requirements:
You need to have an account on a Quassel core to use this app. If you have none,you can either set a core up yourself, or check if you can get an account onsomeone else’s core.
This app only works with cores that run at least Quassel v0.6
To learn about how to set up a quassel core, see the wiki

Quassel is great on the desktop, both the server (core) and the client have been my favorites for years now. So happy to see the Android version and I like it very much. It works smoothly, nice UI, and overall a great experience; possibly one of the best IRC clients for Android.
Wonderfully implemented Android client for IRC. Very kind on your battery usage compared to other IRC clients. Requires you to install QuasselCore on a "server" (could be your desktop at home), which replaces the need for an IRC "bouncer", as it serves the same purpose (keeping you always connected to your IRC servers as well as persisting 'scrollback' so that you can 'catch up' to what you've missed in your favorite channels. Highly recommended! And a great development team.
Like many IRC users, I enjoy chatting with folks across the world, I don't like giving up my privacy to a handful of companies, and I want to take my conversations with me wherever I go. This free, ad-free app lets me do just that, complete with notifications, synchronized chat history from desktop and web, settings galore, and surprising speed. (Full disclaimer - I've helped contribute a bit to the development, and if you have the time, I encourage you to do so, as well - it's open source!)
Lifesaver of an app if you use Quassel (core) and want/need to IRC on the go. I've used the old versions and this one as alpha/beta, this new version is great. The majority of the new features will only work with an upgraded core (0.13+) and it is well worth it!
I hate the new app. The chat list avatars don't go away even with the avatar option disabled. Also can't turn off the topics and names. These two combined make the list to spread out and really hard to scroll.
When will the old black theme be available again? Gray background is rough to read in certain lighting conditions and with some font colors.
Horrible. Buttons that appear when long pressing a network do not work, so I need to delete a network and add it again to make this thing reconnect.
Quasseldroid with a Quasselcore has been the most comfortable way to use IRC from Android for years. Very happy with it, haven't encountered major issues.
really disappointed that the new version doesn't highlight channels any more, which severity hinders effective use.
Doesnt show me any log info why i can't connect to freenode. webchat client works fine. should have stock config for popular sites.
Somehow the UI got even worse. I'll have to sideload from an old version now...
Great upgrade if you're quassel-core is updated to 0.13. If not, upgrade your core first.
Does not store identities or networks. Good design, bad functionality.
Well-designed app to connect to your already configured quassel core. The developer and community in #quasseldroid on LiberaChat are friendly and eager to help!
super well made, interfaces perfectly with my core machine.
Rarely works at all... usually just gets stuck on handshaking
unable to make it work ... unable to set up a server so could not set up a chat
One of the best ways to use IRC with features like log saving
Absolutely phenomenal, allows me to lazily talk to people anywhere from my phone to my quassel core server The future is here stay laz- er, efficient, my people
Quassel already is the best irc client, but even more so now I can use it on Android
If you are already using Quassel, this app is awesome. If you aren't, this app is probably overkill.
honestly the best way to use irc.
Crashes on the "setup identity" screen
The best Android IRC client I've ever used
Exactly the kind of IRC app I was looking for
This is how you irc !!!
Complicated beyond belief
Why isn't quasseldroid updated on the play store. F-droid has been shipping the newer versions with the material design for a long time now.
The recent major update has improved this app in numerous ways!
Says "disconnected". Just can't connect to the core. Works perfectly on the desktop client but don't know what's the problem with android client. Can't find any help whatsoever either. Please fix this! UPDATE: Was a mistake on my side, wrong hostname :) Although some kind of alert from the app could have been useful to quickly identify this. Anyway, works perfectly now!
