I really enjoy the client. I would only ask to be able to set colors for individual users at will

Excellent App. I'm using it with the ZNC bouncer and had no issues connecting to it. It took a little time to realize that the Ignore settings are persistent without the need for a Save operation. No issues in use whatsoever.

Good but nick completion does not work. Developer please show how to use this feature... oops... follow-up review... I bump up my rating... thanks dev... app is good once I fixed that one issue. I totally missed the help option...

The only decent IRC client in Android. It appears that it is becoming abandonware, though, which is quite unfortunate.

The backup feature still hasn't been fixed after how many years? Time to pull the app!

Really wanted to use/like this app. A reliable irc android client should exist. Unfortunately all I get is "write errors". No idea what this means (with the apps' context) or how to debug...? I would absolutely troubleshoot/debug if I could. Too bad. Really wanted this to work.

Why does it disconnect from my EFNet Server every time I close it to run in the background, or any idle time..? Does it just give up on connection if you don't look at it for 5 mins? Do I have to keep it open front and center to retain a connection, that's ridiculous?

I would recommend googling to yank this app from the store for a known issue, that is now a few years old. You cannot back up the information stored in this program, even though there is a setting to do so.

Limits chats. For a paid client I'd expect it not to limit the target change too fast. However, that is usually what happens. When trying to start new chats it often tells me target changed too fast wait blank seconds
