Ratings and reviews

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.

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 CoreIRC 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.

Hi, I wish each nick had their own color, there was a choice for the default color other than green, and away messages were grouped together like the part/join ones are. Oh and when a colored message is sent, the color goes beyond what the end of color is intended to be to the end of the message. In this case there is a "]" character where the end of the color is, so it might be interference? Thank you.
