Hard to use, many flaws. Where to begin..: users list is so narrow I can't even see one third of the users'nicks - this list should be expandable from the right and wide enough. Highlighting should be more prominent to stand out. Critical -> auto-scrolls to bottom of chatlog on every new message so I can't read offscreen messages on busy channels (and not so busy)! Holding the finger when sliding is not an option - as soon as you release the finger to scroll further, new messages kick in and reset the position. Last updates don't load ZNC buffer fully. Other apps load it normally. Edit: I'm not using the app, I used another one and this was as a backup. Unfortunately with the new phone the other one is not supported. There is a severe shortage of IRC apps. Either way, I'll seek another one this time too. Amazing is how many years passed and major flaws that are easy to fix are not fixed.

As mentioned, If you hold your finger on the screen after a scroll move, it will not scroll down. If you're not happy with the app, send me an email and I'll refund you. Simply start scrolling again before lifting if you wish to stay scrolled. There is a delay where it will not scroll after a touch event added for specifically this issue.

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.

i think developer need to workout on user interface. you can take irccloud as example (no offence). i didn't get notifications when there is a message in the channel. so, how can i fix this ..? also, the disconnected issue when in background. i already lower the ping as you suggest. but, still it disconnect from the server when in background.

Hi, You should set the ping back to default and ensure the app is exempt from any battery saving features. If you want a notification any time someone sends a message to a channel, open the channel settings menu and change notifications from 'on' to 'any'
