Comments on CoreIRC for Android

★★★★★ Mark K · Jul 22, 2021

Finally, a modern irc client that after many years of searching does what I want: 1) notifications work not just for private messages but for channel messages. 2) stays connected while screen is off (most, all the other clients seem to disconnect?). 3) works fine with my bouncer. I don't mind the color scheme, but options would be great. Well done team.

★★★★☆ Thorne Heathenspring · Jul 2, 2020

First time I'm paying for an IRC client. Free phone clients are either buggy or lacking in features. Core IRC seems good enough for my needs. Worth the money. Since I can't find a help #, I'd suggest a few tweaks/issues to be fixed. 1) Can't seem to autocomplete/tab nicks mid-sentence. 2)Time stamps of znc doesn't sync with the client. It's important. Otherwise, all the previous messages from the buffer appear with the present time stamp. 3) I faced issues initially while editing the port number.

★★★★★ Andrew Greenwood · Feb 13, 2020

Great beginning for an Android IRC client. The dev is attentive and friendly.

★★★★☆ Bryce Carr · Jun 28, 2020

Works for what I need it to (auto join channel, send command to bots, receive files). Wish I could tap the download notification to open the file though.

★☆☆☆☆ A Google user · Aug 10, 2025

The UI is pretty weird/unintuitive. And I still haven't figured out what the "identity" is, which seems to have nothing to do with the IRC protocol and also apparently can't be changed for the server once you set it. I couldn't get Core IRC to connect to my znc bouncer. It keeps reconnecting, except on one of the four networks. And one of the four network connections reported to still be connected forever when it wasn't. I'm able to connect fine on igloo and AndroIRC.

★★☆☆☆ Donald Martin · Mar 22, 2025

Finally, got it to connect, can see the channel list, but nothing happens after joining many channels. There is no error message. Nothing.

★★☆☆☆ Sammy Katta · Dec 27, 2025

Interface looks clean and nice, but the storage location is inaccessible without a computer. It says storage permission is required to change the folder, but app doesn't ask for storage permission and there's no way to grant it, so I can't get to any downloaded file. Also for some reason I can't refund the app despite having paid for it less than an hour ago, so I'm hoping you can fix the storage permission problem.

★☆☆☆☆ Wayne Stephens · Aug 30, 2023

When I make a profile it doesn't save the nicker password at all. Removes it when I click off I have tried everything
