Reviews
Love it! Absolutely fulfilled my needs for an always on irc connection. Looking forward to more updates and features! Particularly the stuff that's easily configurable on the server side like auto-join, logging, etc. Overall very pleased, nice clean UI and gets all the basics right.
Can not log in The password can't be empty. Well, IRCNet servers in the homeland of IRC do not use passwords. Useless :(
It's amazing The most amazing IRC service for convergence :-) ran into some very nasty problems after the last update but got great support on #tapchat Freenode. Thanks for this awesome piece of work!
The app seems to be unmaintained and is slowly developing bit-rot. Basic things like buttons (e.g join channel) should work, but don't. I also have a hard time giving 4 star without the ability to send commands to server, but 3 star wouldn't be fair either because it has improved my battery life a ton. I would gladly pay $10 for a deluxe version if it were properly maintained.
Notifications This app needs to allow you greater control over notifications in the same way that almost EVERY OTHER app does. I should be able to toggle vibration, choose a specific sound, etc. The fact that there is a single toggle for notifications is frankly unacceptable for a paid app. Furthermore, the fact there is still no ability to send irc commands is somewhat disappointing for an IRC app. 3 stars as stands. Could be 5 if my comments were addressed.
Does the basics right, but lacks in other areas. But lacks features, development seems to have slowed down considerably and documentation on features is sparse (only through issues on github I found out there is a basic web interface to give an example).

Trillian
Trillian is an instant messaging app that works on phones, tablets, and desktops while keeping your chats neatly synchronized between all of them! We think conversation should be easily shared between all of your devices, not trapped as text messages on your phone. Here's how we do it:
• INSTANT MESSAGING: Your unique Trillian username can be used to send unlimited messages free of charge. Trillian uses your existing data plan and/or WiFi.
• ANYWHERE: Trillian's continuous client feature delivers your chats instantly between all of your connected devices. In addition, Trillian automatically silences push notifications on mobile devices if you're active on a desktop - no more dealing with a phone buzzing on your desk all day!
• SIMPLE: Trillian places a strong emphasis on fast and reliable message delivery and a beautiful, easy-to-use interface.
• SECURE: All communication with Trillian servers uses TLS to ensure third-parties can't read your chats.
• INTEROPERABLE: Of course, Trillian wouldn't be Trillian without support for Facebook Chat, Google Talk, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo!, and XMPP.
