Ratings and reviews

I absolutely dig this app. It's totally worth the price, but there are a few general features I would really like to see, or are too difficult to find it they're already available. The main one is an "Add Friend" feature, similar to HexChat. keeping a friends list on a separate notepad can be tedious and doesn't have the benefit of notifying me upon connection if those users are online. Would love love love to see this added in the future! That would honestly land a 5 star rating for me.

After unsubscribing from IRCCloud I went through quite a few various IRC clients for Android, and none of them had neither the features I needed nor the stability that's necessary when one's on the go. IRC for Android has all the features I was looking for. It has no problem connecting to passworded servers and successfully manages to stay connected to my ZNC whenever I'm out. The only downside of this client is the user interface -- it needs work. Other than that, it's top notch.

*Edit* I put this app on theblist never to sleep, deep sleep or anything involving battery saving options and it still disconnects every few minutes. I've been looking for a good IRC client, and this one has a lot of good functions. I had a good free one, but I paid for this one on hopes it won't disconnect with the new Android update. Any suggestions to keep it from disconnecting in the background?
