User reviews
Been using the app for a few years now, well worth the money spent. However, it's been a known issue that client logging doesn't work on some devices, and there hasn't been an update to fix this for years. I'm switching once I find an alternative.

Drake Higgins, 2024-06-05Why does it disconnect from my EFNet Server every time I close it to run in the background, or any idle time... Does it just give up on connection if you don't look at it for 5 mins? Do I have to keep it open front and center to retain a connection, that's ridiculous.

foctober, 2023-05-11i think developer need to workout on user interface. you can take irccloud as example (no offence). i didn't get notifications when there is a message in the channel. so, how can i fix this ..? also, the disconnected issue when in background. i already lower the ping as you suggest. but, still it disconnect from the server when in background.
