Great. Totally blows other IRC apps out of the water. The design and options are intuitive, convenient, and useful. Although the price may be high, it's worth it and is a good buy for an experienced user of IRC. New users may be a little confused, but an online IRC tutorial would clear up some of the questions a new user might have. It's a five-star app at the moment, but I would love to see colors implemented, possibly some basic scripting, and a better copy/paste system. Other than that, this app is money well spent.

Great IRC App. Worth the price. It's missing some minor features, but I'm sure they could be added in future versions. It does the job and it looks nice too.

Terrible Vision Accessibility Features. This app does not support ios dynamic type for larger font sizes and the largest font size built into the app is still much too small for most visually impaired users, making the app entirely unusable even for the visually impaired person who simply needs a larger font size and doesn't use magnification or screen readers

Needs timestamps. Good overall, supports all the core things I need for my work IRC server including SSL. BUT it needs to have an option to timestamp channel messages. If it can learn that trick it's definitely 5 stars.

A GREAT client!. It has a nice, uncluttered GUI, nice alerting systen, and very very stable and light resource usage. I'd recommend this client to anyone. J do wish it was updated a little more though! ^.^ It's very... Basic. It could use just a tad more features. =w=

Great client, missing one thing.... The ability to make it tilt and use your thumbs to type would be great. Otherwise, this is an amazing client.

Great IRC app.. East Asian encoding support. Clean interface. Alternate nickname support. Limechat has everything, really. 10 minutes background connection limit is quite sad though. I think it cannot be bypassed?

What happened to it?. I had already bought this once to replace another irc app when the first one disappeared. Now that the first one has come back this one is gone and now I can't download it unless I pay for it again? What's up with that?

Junk. App doesn’t work. What a waste of $5. I found a free app that actually works. If I could have rated Zero stars, I would have.

Best IRC App for iOS. Very sleek and efficient. I have used this for a long time and have always loved it. I wish there were more commands for the user-list, but that is not a big problem. If you want a clean, straightforward and efficient IRC app, use this. Other apps are more technical and advanced, but this one has been the most reliable and well performing.

There's room for improvement. Basically it's a good app, but some important features are missing: 1. No Tab key or other way to select another nick. 2. No way to hide annoying join/quit etc messages. 3. No easy way to perform basic commands like /me

Bare bones. No help.. I have used full featured irc clients like mIRC. This product is bare bones and unable to connect. No help or explanation for fields and entering same info as my other irc products does not work. Hours lost. I installed irc999 and used it to figure out setup with useful messages. Better interface here.

Better than colloquy. ZNC now works more or less (sometimes I get the same playback) but otherwise the best irc app available and I've tried all of them. Worth the price.

Simple and easy to use. I have used this irc client on the iPhone and it works very well. I am pleased that the client now has an iPad version utilizing the full space of the screen. Limechat is very simple yet polished to connect to an IRC server and start chatting away. I definitely look forward to any updates in the future.

Prolly the best IRC client for iOS. The app is great. I have just 2 things I'd love it to do: history of what I said during the session and ability to turn off the caps when beginning to write or starting a new senetnce. I'd rate it 5 stars if those 2 things were added.

Awesome!. It has everything you need to enjoy the IRC on your iPhone. Would be even better with the abilty to add scripts.

Ok for chat, nothing else; overpriced. If you want to chat over IRC, them this app does just fine. If you want to do anything else, then the app is insufficient. Cut and paste is not so hot; you can't select what you want to cut. File transfers or even going to an fserve (ctcp)...not an option. For a $5 app, I would have expected a LOT more.

Best there is. This app is a bit pricey, but honestly it's easily the best there is. I've tried Palaver (no landscape mode and the keyboard won't minimize properly) Collouquy (hasn't been updated in a year and a half so it doesn't support anything properly) and a bunch of free apps, and this is the best IRC client on the market. It supports landscape mode, you can connect to multiple servers and multiple channels on each server. It notifies you with a non-intrusive color change when there's activity in another channel. You can even turn on/off things like auto-correct and capitalization at the start of setences. If you like IRC, this is the app you want.

Seems to disconnect when the scene locks. On my iPhone 6 when the screen locks the connection to the server drops when other connections to other servers in other apps stay up.

Great app, few suggestions. Love LimeChat (also use it on macOS). The only thing I would love to see is support for hardware keyboards (like on the iPad Pro) - for some reason the chat pane scrolls up even though no soft keyboard is displayed or desired.

Decent but a suggestion. I love this app, I've been using it for a year or so. It's decent and easy to use. The only con about is if only it has a feature where it doesn't disconnect you. It gets annoying using limechat and then after going to safari it's been disconnected.

Perfect iPhone irc client. Can't say enough how simple and clean this app is. Well written and frequently updated. Znc and this app makes keeping up with my favorite channels a breeze.

Universal means good developer. I have to say i am extremely satisfied with developers who develop universal apps. They provide so much more for you than the eye can see, and for no additiomal price. I just switched to this developer for that reason. Now i hope to see some minor updates, but that i have no doubt about will happend.

Keep the app open while connected. This will disconnect you from all servers if you put your phone on standby, but simply keeping the app in focus will prevent this. Otherwise, it's a very lightweight and beautiful client.

A great IRC client comes to the iPhone/iPod touch. I've been waiting for an effective way for me to communicate easily over IRC. This client makes it very easy for both the IRC veteran (direct command inputs are ready and multiple servers with detailed configuration options are available) and simple for the novice (the user interface is well labeled and you only need to provide a little information to get started). While there are small things that could be polished (like providing a server list for people new to IRC and maybe some command shortcuts) things work smoothly. After talking to the developer directly (on IRC with this client no less), input was taken very graciously so I imagine this client will be improving on these things over time. Because of this I will give it a full 5 stars. Not many developers are open to listening and striving to polish software to this degree. Otherwise it is quite worth the price even with it's minimal problems (which would make it a four star app at worst).

Better then Rooms. This IRC client is better then Rooms, but I wish it has one feature that I love in Rooms: the ability to stay connected when the iPhone is locked.

Limechat - excellent irc client. I have purchased most of the chat clients available for the iPad, and keep finding myself coming back to Limecat: for it's simplicity, effectiveness, and easy to use interface. I also need a client which supports ssl connections to my private ircd server, and Limechat works perfectly. I give it 5 stars.

Perfect Lightweight IRC Client. I've been using this for a while and honestly could not ask for anything better. It's so nice to be able to lay in bed and connect to IRC without needing a computer. Limechat does everything I'd ever want it to, and it does it all really well. Highly Recommended. And to the developer: THANK YOU!:)

Updated to iOS 8 without adding background app refresh. I bought this program and I like it but, if you don't get background app refresh to work I might have to keep on working on my own IRC client, which basically works, but a lot to do for one person. However it never stays connected in the background so do that or I'll be forced to waste my time on a project I don't want to work on for a lack of a good ios IRC client

Best IRC app for iOS. If you know how to use IRC, you'll feel right at home with this app. The UI makes sense. There's support for SSL, nickserv, auto-joining, and other things you might not expect.

Ok, would be better with these updates.... Add landscape mode, add pre-set selections of most used commands like /list >10, also add a previous command selection.... If I type /list >10 it would be nice to have a way to recall that cmd witout re-typing it in again

Good App. I use LimeChat on my iPod when I can't access my computer to get to mIRC. LimeChat has a great pinging system and background support. I love how it is set up so that I can be in multiple server with ease. I would, however, like to see some scripts for LimeChat.

Bad input positioning with external keyboard on iPad. There seems to be a problem with the latest version when using an external bluetooth keyboard, at least in landscape mode on iPad -- the input area moves up (and the chat area shrinks) to make room for an on-screen keyboard that never shows up. Otherwise it seems to work pretty well, except that connections time out in the background pretty aggressively.

I don't always write reviews.... ...But when I do, it's because the App is amazing. Ok, this might be the most expensive IRC App currently available, but it's beautiful and works like a charm. I love the layout on my iPhone and my iPad. Simply great!

2.25. Errr the keyboard no longer comes up in the latest version

I love it. This app is awesome I would recomend. If your looking for an irc and in my opinion I would prob pay more. Would be cool in future to see few updates like have a server list, maybe few scripts, and when u select someone have more options instead of just whois and give op maybe add like ban and other things would make this app perfect. Overall this app is awesome I love it. Thank you for this app. Also wish I didn't have to keep retuping this because nicks were taken -.- And people who say app are garbage are garbage and don't know how to use irc

Support?. Revision... Okay, I was able to connect to a different server, so I upgraded my rating to 3-stars. However, the documentation is still inadequate -- nicer to have some written help, rather than hope to get help via an e-mail. In addition: some shortcut commands would be nice and, dare one ask: DCC support? :-) First, the "support" is a lame website with three small screen shots that are useless. There's no instructions on what to put where to get to which IRC servers. I use ircle on the Mac, add a server, network, and I'm there. I add the server here, there's no clear place for the network, and all you get is "Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -9800)". Huh? Would love to find some instructions but that "client support" is nothing but a few useless paragraphs naming features.

Well, I'll be!. I have to say, I'm surprised with the functionality of this app! It saves the Channels you go to, and it allows text commands! A landscape keyboard mode would be a very nice addition, please include it in the next update!

Great!. Happy to see this app get an update and get a background reconnect feature.

Appears to be abandoned.. It works, but its nearly featureless. Not worth the fiver.

Very well done. This app does exactly as you might expect. It is reliable and quick for a mobile irc client. It is easy to use, I would highly recomend that you splurge and get it.

Lol I thought I was ripped off. This is great just what I needed. I started to freak when I seen the server list and didn't see an add button. Between the word server and the arrow you can type in your server. I didn't know this right away. And I use to write scripts for mIRC. HA! I love it and I'm planning to keep it. That's for making such a great app. Keep up the good work.

Meh... Takes increasingly long to connect to servers over 3g. But when connected to a wifi network works as instructed and as advertised :) - Lags sometimes and I need to reconnect to my wifi. Fix and it's 5 stars.

Awesome.. With relatively easy setup I was able to connect to my two favorite chat rooms. While the price could be slightly lower (I'd say $2-$3), it's great. I also agree that it should stay connected while not using the application.

Good IRC app. I just downloaded this, and so far, it works great. It's similar to most desktop IRC apps, with some nice iPad-specific features. Plus, the multitasking support is nice, so you can switch around while chatting. It would be nicer if it had a larger list of servers built in, however. I had to go look up the (popular) server I needed.

Background Refresh. Have had this app for a year or so, my only problem with it so far has been not having background refresh as a thing, even of you gotta charge 99 cents for it as an in app purchase id buy it, its a very needed feature and this is the best irc app on ios that ive seen.

No notifications. Without my phone being able to vibrate in my pocket and let me know someone has contacted me this app is almost useless for $5. I see some other people have mentioned this as well so hopefully this will be fixed soon and I can change my rating. Other than that it's a pretty solid irc app.

Excellent. This app is great for the user whom wishes to unleash their mobile device while using IRC. If a person doesn't know what IRC is and how to implement it, then try an app that requires no brains from the user. Read RFC 1459.

Keyboard. App is not working on iPhone X. Keyboard does not show. Can’t type messages. Useless. Please fix!

Good app, but it missing something. This is a nice app, but it need colors in the text, the channel I use the mods has color text so people can see whet they said

Great IRC App!. Absolutely love this app! It would be better if it supported more commands such as /voice

CRAAAAAAAAAAAP. HOW THE HEK YA USE THIS S**T APP? PRETTY EXPENSIVE FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESNT WORK....

Not bad. This is a pretty good app, on the iPad it is absolutely amazing - on iPhone, Colloquy is probably a better option still. If these guys can get multitasking working on iPad when OS 4.0 comes out, this will be a VERY useful app. Right now, it's usefulness is limited.

Simple, fast. Whilst perhaps lacking some colour options, no other IRC client on iOS comes close to the speed. A must if you use ZNC.

Portable irc. Works really well and worth the price. Just wish I could type faster on the iPhone keyboard. :)

Landscape!. Please give us landscape!

Great IRC app!. Excellent IRC app, especially for connecting to IRC proxies. This is the only IRC app I've used that can handle a proxy sending large backlogs. Connects quickly, responds quickly, UI is intuitive. Love the arrows for channel switching and activity notification. Two requests: 1) Nick completion. It's a must for IRC (especially with the iPhone's soft keyboard), and it's the only reason this app didn't get another star from me. Mobile Colloquoy's implementation is awesome. 2) It would be great to be able to swipe between channels the same way we swipe between home screens.

Great IRC program. So far so good. This irc has advanced features which are uber nice - like sent commands on connect. Auto connects to your rooms and has a great navigability. I'd say it's almost as good as the desktop version of mIRC. If there's one request I'd have it's that I would like to see support for color text. I use chat bots that send certain colors and on my pc with mIRC it's amazing. So on my iPhone this irc is great but to make it even better I'd love to see color text!!

Totally decent.. Probably priced a bit high for what it is, but I'm glad it's still maintained and that isn't cheap for niche software. Works well, sleek interface and the stuff that isn't accessed much is tucked away as appropriate. 5/5 would recommend.

Adequate performance. Operates well, however screenshots misleading. From what I could figure out, web links are not "clickable" as one of the screenshots imply.

Up in a flash. I was impresses how fast and easy it was to be functional. I don't use a lot of features in general but it got me what I needed.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Not worth the price. This app works well, its just a bit pricey for what you get. I've purchased this and Colloquy, Colloquy seems to do more for less. That's what I'll be using from now on.

Elegant. Elegant, simple, minimal. My only request is autocompletion of usernames.

Great. Best IRC client. Includes landscape.

Cool. Everythin cool, but no colorize message :((

This is Awesome. I love using this.

Works great. Love it

Awesome🎉. Greatest app for IRC!

Disappointed. I would have liked to have known that I could not get onto the Darkmyst server before I bought this.

DOESNT WORK. HOW DO U GET IT TO WORK? NEW SERVER? IT WONT CONNECT ITS GARBAGE

Vintage IRC, modern flair. LimeChat provides a great IRC experience on iOS. It's great that the service is still given this attention to detail.

Background connectivity++. The desktop client is amazing! So I figured it was an easy decision to shell out $5 for something I could get elsewhere for free. Except that the core use case for Orc is long-running background chats. I cannot use an Orc client that I have to leave in the foreground to work.

Very good. !!!!!

Here is hoping.... Good start it but it looks like a lot of work still needs to be done. It is worth the price of admission none the less.

Good app, good support. Great basic IRC app with excellent support from the developer

Needs bouncer support. When connecting to ZNC, the appropriate server status is shown, and private messages are passed, but the channels joined do not open in Limechat. Unusable app for me

HUH. I can't figure out how to use it please help me

It's Ok. Wish it Had a way to send files like through Dcc

Channels. It appears that the only way to find/join a channel is to painfully scroll down a listing of thousands of channels. No search feature.

Nice Client. I appreciate the application. It works pretty seamlessly and is well organized. However, I'd love to see two options added in future updates: 1.) Timestamps 2.) Automatic NickServ authentication Thanks!

Honestly the best iphone IRC. I wasnt sure what to expect, but hot dam if this app does exactly what it says it does. Great job!

no channels. when connecting to a zinc bouncer there is no channel list (ipad only)

I want my money back. This thing disconnects if you let your screen turn off or even switch to a different application. Totally useless on my iPad Air running iOS 7.1.

Love it. Great interface. Bit pricey tho

Fast and light. Up until a few minutes ago, I had been using Colloquy. The annoying thing about Colloquy is that whenever it connects to a BNC on launch, it takes literally minutes to render the backlog of messages that get sent initially, which can be an incredible waste of time. LimeChat doesn't have this problem, which by itself is enough to make it far more useful. Good job.

Horrible.. Unless you are a programmer DO NOT BUY THIS PROGRAM. Absolute waste of money.

Waste/NEEDS INSTRUCTIONS. Can't get it to work :/ waste n not user friendly

Dark theme please. Love the simplicity of it but really wish they had a dark theme. Including background would be awesome :) Keep up the good work!

IRC on my iPhone. It works fine. As good or better than my favourite IRC mobile apps for WindowsMobile or BlackBerry.

Can't figure it out!!. I can not figure it out!! Help??? Ha

Very nice!. Great app, does all as promised. Would like to see a /notify command.

Useless without background connectivity. This app is great, save for the fact that a connection drops if the app is in the background, rendering it useless for me. Update the app with the option for background connectivity (without a time limit that drops connection) and its 5 stars from me.

No Notifications So Useless!. Without Notification it is useless!

full screen on iPad. For the love of Budha add a way to toggle the user list off in landscape mode and the server list off in both modes, the waste of screen estate is unacceptable.

Please fix. The app perfectly works before. Can you please fix the crashing whenever PM is initiated in a channel. I can't send a private message. The app crash everytime I send a private message. Ty

Not useful. I downloaded lime chat for irc chat at a w3c meeting. It was unreliable, working intermittently. I have tried to get it working properly and have not succeeded.

gorgeous, functional app, hindered by crashes. everything is where you'd think it'd be and works how you think it'd work except it does NOT get along with multitasking.

The best IRC client for iOS. Look no further. This is the one. v2.1.5 ================ Glad to see that the input bar finally get retina ready.

Efnet issues. Efnet makes you take a human test to get in, but this app lines up the ascii characters wrong so you can't read what you have to type in, no matter what font size you choose. frustrated!

eh.... This is an extremly basic app. I am not happy with it and there are other apps alike this one that are less money that have more features.

Not bad for the price. Well worth it when you can't use a PC for IRC.

Chat rooms?. What is a good chat room?

Servers needed!!!. It it's a great app, but there are still few servers!

Completely unusable on latest IOS. Do not waste your money.

Great. The best mobile irc app hands down!!

Excellent. Sasl works all the time unlike other irc iOS apps. Use osx limechat as well. Quite pleased.

How do I log in?. Trying to log in but I can't! Ask for the server? Nick name? User name? Etc. Can't get it to work! Please help!

I give it 4stars. It's a good app but I wish I could add my own commands or have kick and bans all ready added Oh and it would be cool if it would ops and voice etc.......

Useful app. I like it for using when I'm not at my computer. Works very well.

Awesome!!. This app works great. It has a few minor issues, but don't all apps? Well this app works best for using irc chat, i've tried many apps and this defiantly works the best.

Totally worth the price. Good looking, lightweight irc client. Only one that's worth it on the App Store.
