User Reviews

Reviews show iQuassel is the only iOS Quassel client and generally usable, with backlog access. However, persistent issues overshadow it: read-state sync problems, missing/background notifications, unstable connections, a rough UI, and apparent lack of active maintenance. Some praise for backlog access and occasional fixes, but most point to reliability and feature gaps as major drawbacks.

Pros

Quassel support on iOS (the only iOS Quassel client).
Generally functional and usable as a lightweight Quassel client.
Backlog access/readability (you can read backlog)

Cons

Read state/last-read position not syncing correctly across the Quassel ecosystem.
Notifications do not function or are not delivered in the background.
Unreliable connectivity with frequent reconnections.
Rough UI/UX and navigation; not well polished.
App appears unmaintained with sparse updates.

Recent reviews

Edit: this app drove me to stand up a matrix client and I now use IRC via matrix bridges instead. Matrix is a bloaty mess, yet this was a better trade-off. The app functions somewhat. If you’ve used quassel clients on macOS, Windows, Android then you’ve experienced that they stay in sync with regard to “read state”, de-duplicate notifications, have functioning notifications. This app: does not sync read state correctly like the rest of the quassel ecosystem. Presents the channel list in a novel and frankly useless way. Notifications are not functioning. Overall it’s a really janky and broken experience. It has minimal functionality- you can at least read (some of) the backlog and send messages. You’ll find navigation hard and be disappointed with the lack of notifications and synchronizing.

It functions enough to use for quassel but there doesn’t seem to be any active development for this app anymore. Last update was over a year ago. It has a few bugs like broken reconnections and the ui can go for some improvement. It’s the only quassel app for iOS though so it is what it is. I’ll just use blink and irc from a terminal.
