This is a great app. It's material design interface is beautiful and it is super functional. They added all the things IRC clients need, even some that most don't have, like executing certain commands on joining, as well as automatic login to NickServ and more. I can't reccomend this app enough.

Definitely one of the better looking IRC clients, but it could benefit from a few interface improvements. For instance, launching from the persistent notification should bring you back to the channel. Also, it would be nice to see an unread count there. It does have issues claiming you are online when in fact you have been disconnected.

I've noticed under some scenarios it doesn't reconnect even that you press connect button, only workaround is to restart an app. ThIs happens when on mobile data and at some point you get no reception so it disconnects and then doesn't reconnects. Update: my bad it's just takes some time, longer than usual hence confusion

Like when I double tap on a username it should be mentioned or do reply. Another annoying thing is that I have to tap three times to get to the page. It should be on the hamburger menu or be somewhere for quick access. Other than that fantastic. #Edit : crashes when I try the "/list" command. Please fix ##edit : why is it so memory hungry? Please make it lightweight or at least optimize for lower end device

I'm on a nexus 6, freshly set up after a factory data reset, configured two IRC channels and had them working until the app began crashing. Now it won't load at all, just crashes. I'd send feedback through the official channel but I have no access to it.

This client has a slick theme but it can be very clunky at times, it's hard to get to a query for example. Does use fullscreen ads but they seem to only show up when you change the settings. A pretty solid irc client choice.
