Chat comfortably. Everywhere.
REQUIRES A QUASSEL CORE – DOES NOT WORK AS STANDALONE IRC CLIENT
• Use IRC on the go – thanks to the Quassel core, you’ll never miss anything
• Always have your entire chat history available – just scroll up to load older messages, the core keeps them for you
• Be notified when someone messages you – even if you had no connection in the meantime
Soon to come:
• Direct Push Notifications
• Full backlog search – search through every message you ever sent or received
Requirements:
You need to have an account on a Quassel core to use this app. If you have none,
you can either set a core up yourself, or check if you can get an account on
someone else’s core.
This app only works with cores that run at least Quassel v0.6
To learn about how to set up a quassel core, see the wiki

You can find us in #quasseldroid on Freenode, or contact us under support@kuschku.de

Would be 5 stars if it stayed connected, or reconnected with connectivity change (see andchat) but other than that can't fault it!

Best persistent IRC I have ever came across. Easy setup. Easy on eyes UI

Could really use the promised push notifications - that should solve all battery and connection issues (so that one can stay pretty much disconnected until a highlight or something). Otherwise a stellar app, supports pretty much everything the other native clients do.

Crippling power consumption The devs really need to work on the power consumption. This app destroys my battery. Other than that it's really hard to give up quassel when you live and breath IRC.

Constantly crashes on initial backlog fetching App constantly crashes(and says Reporting crashes) constantly on start up. Whenever i do manage to get through it works perfectly

Battery possibly an issue, but wow! This is the first time I've ever felt like it was viable to have a constantly-connected messaging app on my phone. We'll see how the battery side of things goes...

Unusable in large rooms No way to filter out joins or parts.
Janne Koschinski November 27, 2016
Actually, there is. Click on the […] button in the top right, then "hide events". You can then choose to filter out joins, parts, quits, and other types of messages.
I hope I could solve your problem, if not, don’t hesitate to contact me at support@kuschku.de. It works way better than anything on the Apple side. Closest thing to the quassel-client on Android.
Bring back black theme! This "dark" theme which is now gray instead of black is hard to see with certain font colors, plus harder to see in general in brighter light. -2 stars until the old black theme from a couple versions ago is added back in. Moto E (2nd gen with Android 5.1)
Needs push support for notifications to help save battery. For some reason I can't disable the notification icon. Other than that is a great client for Quassel Core.
Useful and effective, though I think the input widget could use a bit of work.
Great update! Really nice UI, and now is possible to see even hidden channels. I've missed that before. Thanks!
Great, but key mobile features missing The interface is cleanly organised, and the experience has been seamless so far. Except for one thing: sending URLs and other text still requires a copy-paste. It would be great if the app can be registered with Android Intents so that text can be sent to active channels and users through the Share feature.
Most Beloved Android app. Absolutely essential for IRC users on the move. I could never go back to using a standard IRC client on my phone, getting disconnected a dozen times a day as I move in and out of signal range. I can leave it detatched in low-signal areas and reconnect later without missing out on conversations happening in my absence, saving battery. The interface is much nicer than the desktop Quassel Client. And thanks for fixing support for multiple cores - last year I had to reinstall quasseldroid when I switched to a different core, but now I can switch back and forth effortlessly. Would pay money for this app even if it didn't come with any additional features.
Great, but pretty buggy. Often after the app has been running for a while, channels seem to not be reliable. Especially if I use a client on the computer in between sessions. I was very confused when I opened one channel to find a completely different one. Sometimes, the list of people who are online are off too. I've once found someone logged in under the same nick 4 times (that's a bug). Its because it doesn't seem to always register when someone quits or parts.
This version (0.9.8) is terribly outdated. I did not notice until it stopped working after the Android 7 update. The version on F-Droid (0.11.7) works, has an updated interface and also features automatic reconnection.
Core<->IRC disconnects can crash app. Overall much better than Windows app! I've also installed the beta APK from F-Droid and can confirm the auto-reconnect works great. Side bonus: material design!
Could handle disconnects better This is a well made application in general, and works great when you have a solid connection. But iffy connections can be very frustrating when the screen goes back to login mid-sentence. Also, highlighting should never use the same color as a username.
Great app Excellent mobile companion to the quassel suite. My only beef/request is I wish the dark theme was black and not dark grey as a background. The grey makes it nearly impossible to read some of the colored text.
Really great app Really nice app ,although lacking support for automatically reconnecting after disconnect, that would really improve the app a lot. Other than that I cannot find any fault, would be nice to see that included.
Doesn't handle SSL certificate changes well. Just get stuck in a loop. Clearing data/cache didn't help... Or is it just broken on Android N?
Janne Koschinski September 19, 2016
Android N changed some things, so the old version didn’t work anymore. We published an update today, could you try if that fixes the issue for you? Outdated Why isn't quasseldroid updated on the play store. F-droid has been shipping the newer versions with the material design for a long time now.
Janne Koschinski September 19, 2016
We’ve published the update today – maybe you might want to check it out? Only IRC client you need for Android. This is a great IRC client for Andriod. The only thing I think it's lacking is an auto-reconnect option; that would make this a 5 star review.
Works well! My IRC needs are pretty basic - the fact I use a Quassel core in the first place is probably excessive... but for what it does, Quasseldroid is perfect for me.
Good but needs auto reconnect Having an auto reconnect would be helpful. Switching between network and wifi means manually reconnecting. It's a pain.
Great client. One request: Make back key open the channel list on first click. Would be more useful than just popping up a message telling me to click again to quit. Could still quit on second click.
Updates? Hasn't been updated in a long time (2014) and appears to break in Android N. Unfortunately it appears this is the only quassel client for Android.
Janne Koschinski September 19, 2016
We’ve updated it today (and fixed that issue) and added a lot more features – could you try if that works for you? Does what it does This let's me connect to the core and chat, ez pz. Could custom colors be a possibility for this?
Great quassel client, on tablet + phone I use this client on a daily basis both on my tablet and my phone, and it does a great job. It would be even better if it had an auto-reconnect option.
Does not work. Does not work on android 7.0, I get a "failed to load certificate" error.
Janne Koschinski September 19, 2016
That issue should have been fixed in today’s update – could you try if it works for you? Doesn't even connect. Just returns invalid username/password
Great Almost perfect App. Sadly uses too much battery, but I think that's because of the Quassel Protocol.
Best Android Quassel Client And I know, I tried them all.
Excellent! I try ZNC and others bouncers, i stop searching with quassel!
