Works great
I’ve used it for 3 months across multiple devices without any problems.
Very hostile to users with disabilities
In some ways, this is a good app and service. In others however, it is hostile towards users with disabilities. For example, the “feature” of automatically archiving chats it deems to have not been sufficiently active, with no way to disable that particularly idiotic and disability-unfriendly design choice. You can tell these amateurs have both no experience in UI design in general, and have sought absolutely no input from disabled users, which is even more infuriating when they make it incredibly difficult to even contact any kind of support staff. In summary, avoid.

Not free at all
Although this app lets you stay permanently connected to IRC even when not in use, it only lasts 7 days. After that users have to pay £50 a year. You should tell users this from the start so as not to get their hopes up.
I love this app
The user interface is very good and easy to use and it doesn’t disconnect when it runs in background.
Used to be great…now…meh
For some reason the text input box is now cut off at the bottom of screen making it difficult to respond in the environment. What happened? Please fix
Terrible app, terrible customer service
The customer service in the IRCCloud servers is terrible. They are rude and they act like you owe them something even when you’re a paying subscriber. Not worth the money, and there’s better alternatives.
Also, their servers crash all the time randomly. Check their twitter feed if you don’t believe me.
Their app has been crashing every 2 seconds on my phone recently. How does this company still have users?

Zero QA?
Hasn’t worked on my iPad in months. Simply stuck on “Connecting” and refuses to open.
Used to be great
About 3 months ago it just started lagging like crazy. After 10 seconds or so it would slow down and then freeze completely. I’m really not sure what happened but I used to use this app daily. Such a shame.
Garbage tier
Just wrote a bunch, switched to a different app to look something up before sending, switched back and everything I typed was gone. This is regular.
I like it but it’s not productivity software
Apple put this in the new app basin as a productivity app. The only way i can imagine irc as productive is: I developed a productive cough while ****-talking on efnet, snapping at n00b hackers on freenode, arguing about something controversial in a controversial topic channel full of aspies, and trading unmentionable digital commodities on some heretofore unnamed network.
