Lovely app, but a few suggestions for improvement Works well with a bouncer, mIRC colors are perfect. Love the custom notification list, especially that its per server. Few suggestions though: 1) Fix the rotation in the settings even though I have it disabled on my phone. 2) Colored nicks 3) Make max history size per server, as highlight list is. 4) Add a confirgurable reconnect attempt feature, like AndChat's. Overall though, very nice and well thought out app!

5 star app but I wouldn't pay (yet) The best designed and function-wise irc client on android I think. Only downside its a bit too pricey for a leisure/chat app. The technology is old, all APIs are well known etc etc so the price should hit bottom, I wouldn't hesitate to pay if it is, and I think many would agree.

Terrific! I use this so I can chat with everyone on osu! Whilst I don't have my PC and it's very easy to use, set up, add servers, chat. etc.) I can keep up with everything well and the highlights are great! A couple of suggestions just to improve this almost perfect app, maybe add swearing filters, and allow people to assign colours to users in order to spot them out quickly! Thanks again! ^-^

This is a nice irc app. It is one of the best apps for irc. It has one MAJOR flaw, It continuously runs in the background. When I kill it it restarts 1/2 a sec later. So uninstalling. These days it should not happen. If you reply to this query when it's fixed I will happily reinstall it.

Alex Patrenko

Fantastic App! Great client if you like to IRC alot and just cant stand to be away from your favorite IRC server even for a moment. 5 Stars. However, its probably just my Droid, but I have trouble getting it to notify me on highlights and such. This is of no consequence though. Great app!

Edward Domka

One flaw Many irc clients have the option to assign random colors to users. This way each nick has a unique color making each user stand out. With everyone's nick the same color it's not only Hard on they eyes but also makes the experiance very unpleasant.

I cannot see someone's idle/online time, also i can't set an away msg longer than 1 single word (is not taking more) and the interface..must be changed a bit.. Maybe nice colours, dark theme.. Similar to irccloud

James Ryan Villamora May 15, 2015

Finally! My prayers have been heard. Thank you for making dcc available. You don't know how happy I am with this. Its just that everytime a download finishes, the app seems to restart. But still, I like it. /ctcp doesn't work though, if you can add that I will donate :)

Brandon Horn March 8, 2016

Good IRC app, But one thing... Why is it so difficult to completely exit out the app. Sometimes I find myself still connected when I thought I disconnected. Nope it's stuck running in the background eating up my data when I'm not on my Wi-Fi.

June 18, 2015

A good IRC app with some flaws I enjoy using this IRC app but it has some glaring flaws and things don't work the way they should. For instance, when disconnected, the app should automatically switch to the next Nick you specified in the setup when it sees the old Nick is still on the server. The automatic reconnect function also doesn't function correctly. Also, when you disconnect and reconnect, any query windows open don't function anymore. Otherwise, its a fine app, but these issues need to be resolved.

Malachai Oder-Kies April 6, 2016

I'm having problems with Wi-Fi and connection with this app. I can connect to the server when I'm using mobile data, but I can't connect to any server via Wi-Fi. I have tried this on many different Wi-Fi connections, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I have also tried restarting the device, all to no avail.

Konomi June 22, 2016

This is a great IRC client, the design is nice diverse settings and I might end up throwing the money down for this client. The one thing it lacks is robust auto reconnect with settings for it. If the author added this I'd say this is the best IRC client on Android.

Gabriel Hardesty June 9, 2015

Great Client, but missing auto-reconnect I have a spotty connection at my house. Most clients have an auto-reconnect feature, but this one unfortunately doesn't. Hopefully it'll come in a new update because I really like the ui/ux

Chris Vydas November 4, 2017

This app and developer has some serious abandonment issues, meanwhile still collect money from ad revenue! App hasn't seen an update in 2 years, NOT cool. I used to stick up for this client but this has gone on long enough. What gives!?

suraj punjabi August 17, 2017

Great interface. Unfortunately it does not allow us to receive and files. Its always download error. Fix it and u will get ur 5 stars. This app is pretty much useless for me if I cannot download.

Le Cash October 18, 2017

Been a premium user for a long while now, Fantastic app that works solid on both my LGG4 and my quirky Asus Z580CA. 1 thing that would make it 5 stars for me, is the ability to save to an SD card directly in the app. So when setting an IRC server, have the ability to pick the SD card as the default location plus a folder of our choosing, As its a right pain and time waster to download to internal storage first, more so if its a really big file, as if you not much internal storage space but lots of external storage, need the ability to use it directly.. Add that feature and you got 5* definitely.

Sems August 30, 2015

There is no support for this app. The irc channel is abandoned, the twitter is dead, the facebook is dead, the "AndroIRC Support Centre" website is gone. So if you have any problems, well. Maybe you'll get lucky and find help in the community. I liked the app, but no support is a serious problem.

James Preston March 8, 2016

Looks great, has plenty options, doesn't drain battery like crazy, and has no issues with bouncers. Only problem is with nick completion, it doesn't add a comma or colon and space after doing so, which is a minor nuisance when trying to address someone.

Lindsay Thibeault October 1, 2017

It was working great before my tablet updated to nougat. Now the dcc function give me a transfer error when I try to receive a file. Only started after the nougat upgrade and still works well on my phone which isn't much help.

Satish Soni May 29, 2017

It was the best irc client. But since Nougat update (Moto Z Play), it refuses to download any files. Says "failed: transfer error". Please help.

Fahad Mehar October 10, 2016

Fix This. If you want 5 stars. Hello, There is an bug in AndroidIRC. It disconnect by ** You are now disconnected (Ping timeout) please resolve this issue thanks.

Teodor Hadjiev September 3, 2017

Basic functions seem to work well. No critically annoying behaviors. Not too many options, lacks things like seconds in timestamps, night mode hours, lacks confirmations when deleting a server, cannot close the last disconnected server without exiting the app, a bit clunky to connect to a server, no favorite servers (I should see a list of my servers right in the home screen) etc. I though it would become my main irc app but not. I just found it drops connection often and won't reconnect at all. Too bad it is abandoned as all IRC apps are. Uninstalling.

Paulpkyou February 22, 2016

Good but missing features It would be nice to have the ability to run on boot and automatically reconnect on disconnect or perhaps a scripting system (written in javascript or a custom syntax) where users can customize how the app works, sort of like mIRC.

Jayesh Thakkar October 21, 2017

The app is really good. However, in the new android versions (7.1.1 Nougat), it fails to download files completely. In old mobile with Marshmellow Android, this is not a problem. I sincerely request the developer to resolve the issue immediately. Otherwise the app is really good and deserves 5-stars.

S Pants June 7, 2016

It's still a good app, but... Unfortunately I think the devs have abandoned it at this point, no news since May 2015, and I have frequent timeouts from my bouncer. Frustrating considering this was the best IRC app available while they supported it.

Federica Scalvini March 9, 2016

The main problem with this app is notification. You have only from query or if someone use your nickname in a channel. It is really so difficoult to improve it? Everything else works just fine.

Ringolds Rutkis July 14, 2017

Connection keeps closing while in background on Android 7.0 Makes the app practically unusable. Tried tinkering with power saving settings in my phone but that still didn't fix it

Bhurin Chucharat December 11, 2015

Hard to connect There are few issues I had when using this app. First, sometime I cannot connect to server I want while other app can connect right away. Secondly, whenever large file (300mb or above) download finished, this app error and force close. This app would perfect if these issues are solve.

Nolan Wagner May 30, 2015

Colors Some of the colors are a bit hard to read on the dark theme on the MOTD page. There also doesn't seem to be an option to strip colors from messages. Should be an option for those of us who don't want colors in messages at all. Also give the option to color nicks randomly, as that helps keep track of who said what. If you can correct these issues, I'd be happy to give 5 stars.

Dahlia van Gelder March 18, 2016

Thots at install. Have been using ANDchat. Love it with exceptions: (1) I cant copy from the backscroll. (2) It disconnects, web pages, switch from wifi to/from mobile data. \n. I fear in-app purchases. What are they? AndChat has no ads. AndChat has SASL, autojoin, logging, colors, font size control, inpur history, nick completion. It is a great program; 2 desires.

nadia sanjaya October 14, 2017

I used to love this app... but after I updated OS to Android Nougat, now I cant download anything. It says "failed" and "transfer error." Why? Help me, please. Samsung Note 5 user

Kevin Rickman May 31, 2016

Good app Its a good app for irc on android, but if you dont use the servers they have you have to enter your own and it doesnt have an option to save it. It is very tedious to enter an alternate server when you use the app alot.

jesse4839 September 29, 2016

Used to love it Locks up my note 5 running stock 6.0.1 and will not work at all since last update. Would be 5 stars but it no longer functions for me.

Firecrystals Crystals May 20, 2016

Broken in the last update **Update** As promised, increasing the rating as i can download books again!! This app was working like a charm till the last upgrade which broke it. I can no longer download books through the app and that was the only reason I installed it in the first place. I'll increase my rating if this can be fixed

Jc Adduono September 16, 2016

Doesn't stay connected I always lose connection at some point and the channels get strike-out and it won't reconnect. I have to start a new server connection. I wish it would reconnect properly.

Mike Hess June 26, 2015

Great design, all the features you need. The design of AndroIRC really impressed me. Boring protocol stuff is easily automated in settings. Gets you straight to the chat. Well worth the $3 bucks.

Christopher Bonini August 26, 2016

Update: @blinkseb on Twitter recently said an app update is incoming! I give this app four stars because of one issue and three missing features. The issue I have is that occasionally, after some time in the background, AndroIRC will disconnect from the servers and then will reconnect fresh when switched back to. For features, it would be nice (especially in regards to the above issue) if the last 20 or so lines from the last session were shown when rejoining the same channel on the same server. Logging is already built-in so this seems easy to add. Second, on servers that use NickServ authentication it would be nice if the NickServ query tab is suppressed during the initial connection. Having to close these queries gets tedious after a while. Last, I'd like an option to dismiss the user list drawer on tablets, being able to summon it with a swipe from the right just like on phones.

Flegheru Albert July 9, 2015

Since the last update it disconects itself every 5-6 minutes ( Ping Timeout) It is a very good app but the latest update screwed it up. Before that, I could have stayed logged in for days and never got disconnected.

Danila Gerasimov March 4, 2016

decent client with essential features missing Works well, but long-term usability suffers from lack of small but essential features: autoreconnect, colored nicks, monospace font. These are not hard to implement and would improve the experience a lot.
