BETTER MOBILE IRC EXPERIENCE:
Hermes is a IRC app created to be feature rich, yet be very easy to use. Everything is just a tap or two away and the design makes your experience pleasant.

SIMPLE, YET VERSATILE:
You will find that Hermes can do everything most IRC clients and even more.
Some of the key features are:
- Join as much servers and rooms as you wish.
- Easily join rooms to which you've connected and set rooms to auto-join.
- Mention and servers connectivity badges
- Emojis
- System and user messages separation
- User list
- SSL encryption
- And much more

ANDROID INTEGRATION:
Hermes is fully material designed, follows Google's design guidelines and integrates perfectly with Android Lollipop services and notifications. If you are running pre Lollipop Android you will still get material designed app.

NO PAYMENT REQUIRED:
You can use Hermes complete functionality for free. If you wish to remove the ads, use the "Remove ads" function.

OPEN SOURCE:
Hermes is GPL licensed and its source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/numixproject/org.numixproject.hermes

Based on YAAIC:
For its backend Hermes uses the backend of "Yet Another Android IRC Client": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.yaaic

Great! This is a great app. It's material design interface is beautiful and it is super functional. They added all the things IRC clients need, even some that most don't have, like executing certain commands on joining, as well as automatic login to NickServ and more. I can't reccomend this app enough.
Daniel Paul
Looks good, needs some tweaking Definitely one of the better looking IRC clients, but it could benefit from a few interface improvements. For instance, launching from the persistent notification should bring you back to the channel. Also, it would be nice to see an unread count there. It does have issues claiming you are online when in fact you have been disconnected.
Ivan Navi
The Best I found I've noticed under some scenarios it doesn't reconnect even that you press connect button, only workaround is to restart an app. ThIs happens when on mobile data and at some point you get no reception so it disconnects and then doesn't reconnects. Update: my bad it's just takes some time, longer than usual hence confusion
Mirazul Islam
Excellent but there are some problems Like when I double tap on a username it should be mentioned or do reply. Another annoying thing is that I have to tap three times to get to the page. It should be on the hamburger menu or be somewhere for quick access. Other than that fantastic. #Edit : crashes when I try the "/list" command. Please fix ##edit : why is it so memory hungry? Please make it lightweight or at least optimize for lower end device
Thomas B
Crashing constantly I'm on a nexus 6, freshly set up after a factory data reset, configured two IRC channels and had them working until the app began crashing. Now it won't load at all, just crashes. I'd send feedback through the official channel but I have no access to it.
Konomi
This client has a slick theme but it can be very clunky at times, it's hard to get to a query for example. Does use fullscreen ads but they seem to only show up when you change the settings. A pretty solid irc client choice.

Prettier than what it forked, but less versatile Some negatives: Lack of a dark theme, ads, persistent is notification always visible, uses quite a bit of RAM. I'm sticking with Atomic IRC for now.

Armando Gonzalez December 26, 2015
Doesn't work well with bouncers. Or, at least not ZNC. It connects fine but any channels you are in will not show up nor can you join them manually. If fixed, this would probably be my favorite client.
Full Review
Avash Mulmi March 29, 2016
Really good, but few problems It is much better than most of the clients out there, not to mention the excellent interface. But few problems are: (1) would be nice if I can open a channel from the main page where it shows the currently connected channels. (2) same with opening the window of private message. (3) Consumes high amount of memory :( - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Apart from these few, it is a great one! Hope stuffs get fixed soon!

Where did 585MB of my data go? What? Tried to connect to my own ZNC bouncer. Failed silently but used up 585MB of data over LTE?! Great. Half my new data pack. Gone within a minute.

andrew Martens October 14, 2015
No full landscape mode support? :( The menu (where it asked me to add a server) doesn't support landscape mode... This is a pain for tablet users.. :( Also, any chance you can add an option to specify channel specific notification behavior (sound or vibrate when a new msgs in that channel occurs)? :)

Nihad August 25, 2016
Needs the ability to register SASL/NiclServ through app Other clients have this feature (especially PC ones) would be convenient for first time irc users (some channels will not work unless your verified which is frustrating for first timers) and it needs a dark theme

Really pretty, but extremely bad performance. Locks up constantly. And, when connecting to a ZNC server, spams me with playback of already-seen messages.

Alyssa Bruce July 28, 2016
Looks and works fantastic. Some suggestions though. Would like the option to change the text size. Option to add extra words to notify/highlight. And I really wish for an option to have a chat bubbles-type layout, similar to Whatsapp and Hangouts. EDIT: No updates in ages.

Razvan Draghici January 15, 2016
Cannot connect to channels. This looks like a nice looking irc app, only problem is I can't get it to show me the channels I'm connected to nor can I get it to connect to my bouncer. Is this app exclusive to lollipop and above?
Full Review
Andrew Wesson November 4, 2015
Just a wrapper for yaaic I switched to this because I was fed up with yaaic and I like material design but it has all the same flaws as yaaic and then some. Bad at reconnecting, overly difficult to actually stop the app, overly high resource use, can't handle multi-line pastes. And some quirks of its own. I dunno if it always disables keyboard prediction but it seems to with the HTC sense keyboard at least. And the interface is a pain and requires you to go up two levels of menu to switch servers. It's frustrating to use.

I can't get rid of the ads. I told the developer months ago and they said they'd fix it. It has been months, and still not fixed. Everytime I go to buy the 'remove ads' it says transaction declined, yet I can buy other stuff. Poor support.
