en Pretty good bare bones IRC client. Only one Ive found so far that actually works decent under ChromeOS. but could use more features like logging in DM and Channels. Downloads would be nice. auto startup of MULTIPLE servers would be nice. It was helpful to at least be able to save them so that is nice. Overall clean and functional.

en I started out not liking this app because it's so simple and bare-bones. But I've grown to like it pretty much. It's no Hexchat, but I can't run Hexchat on Chrome OS. I only gave it 4 stars because it drops a couple of servers when my Pixelbook/Chromebook times out and goes "to sleep". [EDIT: I was wrong about it dropping servers when my Pixelbook goes "to sleep". I fixed that in settings. I now recommend this app, especially since I found out that you can save servers and server info, nicks, etc.]

en Even though no one has commented on this in almost a year, I have to say that this is the BEST IRC client I've found. It runs smooth on Chromebooks and I love the customizability. Thank you!
