User Reviews

Multiple users praise AiCiA for its reliable connection management, customization, and better performance compared to other Android IRC clients. However, the app suffers major usability issues, especially related to sending messages, as the ENTER key adds new lines instead of sending messages, and no send button or clear instructions exist. The user interface is seen as complicated and obscure, making it difficult for users to send commands or messages effectively.
Pros
  • Works better than other Android IRC clients tried by users.
  • Supports multiple server connections smoothly.
  • Allows connecting to a bouncer and managing channels effectively.
  • Offers decent customization options.
  • Runs flawlessly on some devices despite issues with others.
Cons
  • No clear method to send messages; pressing ENTER inserts a newline instead of sending.
  • Lack of a visible or intuitive send button or menu to initiate IRC commands.
  • User interface is complicated and not user-friendly, especially for sending messages or commands.
  • Commands and input methods (e.g., /raw) do not work as expected or are confusing.
  • Overall obscurity and difficulty in understanding how to operate the app.

How to send message?
by Yo*****, 2023-05-27

Cannot send messages, as ENTER Just linefeeds within the input prompt instead of sending. There is no alternative button, not a settings option to change this behaviour.
