2024-06-28 | Alex Marz | en | I want to love it but without SSL support its largely unusable for me. | |
2022-08-12 | Douglas Twyman | 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. | |
2020-12-05 | Ailsie N. | en | Overall it's a smooth experience, but I hope it can support downloads someday. | |
2020-02-29 | PlainDave | 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.] | |
2020-01-08 | Derrick Potter | en | Hottest IRC client around for chromebooks it seems. Appreciate the dark mode and all the options. | |
2019-06-22 | GoodBoyFx | en | love it because other irc cleint (CIRC)vwas totally barebone small font, My main reason to get this is u can adjust FONT size, this app has 19size font still could be bigger. RQUEST: owner of app make it to 28 like it is on mIRC... the king of irc clients.. | |
2018-09-07 | Pam G. | en | I love it. But wish there was a byrd chat for ipads. That is how much I love the chat. | |
2018-04-21 | Andy Bowden | en | no dcc, useless | |
2017-10-01 | Half Jack (Halfjack) | 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! | |
2017-08-31 | Matt Cirillo | en | Works, but there is no file download support. |
