Hi, I wish each nick had their own color, there was a choice for the default color other than green, and away messages were grouped together like the part/join ones are. Oh and when a colored message is sent, the color goes beyond what the end of color is intended to be to the end of the message. In this case there is a "]" character where the end of the color is, so it might be interference? Thank you.

Seems good so far, the most stable irc app for android I've tried, & the notifications actually work. I would rate it higher if you could change the accent colour to anything but the horrid bright pink. That alone is almost enough reason to uninstall it for me if I could find any other irc app that didn't constantly disconnect & fail to send notifications. Update - Glad colour option is being worked on! Currently only changes top bar in light theme. Send button, toggles and dark mode still pink

There is a bug that bothers me a lot. When I modify a server and go back. I get out of the application. It also lacks the possibility to make a backup of the configuration. Also not possible to click to join a channel when I click on channel name(start with #), not possible to change the background colour. Not possible to copy a part of a message in the clipboard.

Use it for xdcc downloads of large files, best on the play store by far. They recently fixed a download bug after I left a review about it, so they definitely have earned this 5 stars in my eyes. Unfortunately a stopped or incomplete download makes it impossible to resume in my experience, but deleting the file and starting over works. If resume was fixed this would be 6/5 stars

First time I'm paying for an IRC client. Free phone clients are either buggy or lacking in features. CoreIRC seems good enough for my needs. Worth the money. Since I can't find a help #,I'd suggest a few tweaks/issues to be fixed. 1) Can't seem to autocomplete/tab nicks mid sentence. 2)Time stamps of znc doesn't sync with the client. It's important. Otherwise all the previous messages from the buffer appear with the present time stamp. 3) I faced issues initially while editing the port number.

Great app one you get the hang of it. Only thing i dont like about it is most of the time you have to force close it in settings because the exit option under the pull down tab grays out for some unknown reason and wont let you exit the app. Also hitting dissconnect does nothing. Ive tried on more than one device, and have the very same issue.

So far I am happy with the app hence giving a 5 star rating. I would love if I could get the file opened or a prompt were given to choose with which app I would like to open that file by tapping the notification after receiving it whenever I download any file. But currently, the notifications of some file has been downloaded are static and not bringing me to the opened files directly rather it has no effect when I tap those and I can only slide/swipe the notifications to get rid of them.

overall a pretty good irc app, but i have noticed a few issues with the scrollback, specifically that sometimes, each time a new message is sent it scrolls back up to some previous message, until i force close the app and restart it. also, when the keyboard is opened it does not automatically scroll to line up the latest message with it. It's a bit annoying but doesn't make it unusable imo. ive also run into similar issues with other android irc clients though. (pixel 6, android 12)
