## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Half-baked unfinished template app

*2020-12-17, version 1.0.8*

I’ve updated this app 3 times. Outside of it being halfway an app and not even connecting to a custom URL, never got to use it. 

Nothing changed between the three versions. No new functionality, no fixes to basic stuff. This is a template app basically. 

Yet now, this last crucial update implemented Facebook ads. Absolutely important feature for IRC communication. I’m so happy to see Facebook ads every time I open an app I’m glad this one got on board.

UPDATE: the dev said there’s no ads. I don’t know what you call a band at the bottom listing Facebook ads. Really not that smart to lie. Screenshot is at working dot name slash yesads dot jpg

**Developer response:** There are no ads in the app.

### 2/5 — Terrible IRC App

*2024-06-10*

I thought this would be better than others I’ve tried. There is too much going back and forth between channel, and messages. Has a notification for when messages are responded to if you initiate a message. Not fun t9 use at all.

### 2/5 — Add server

*2024-05-27*

No way I can see to add a server or network you can edit a network and type the server you want in but can’t change the network

### 2/5 — keeps timing out

*2023-12-11*

I would have given this app a higher rating but it kept timing out every time I tried to connect to a network. there is no place to add a password for my own bouncer. this app has potential if it was just maintained like it should be.

### 3/5 — No server password support

*2022-11-06, version 1.1.2*

Can’t enter a server password (only nickserv), so can’t log into my bouncer. Thus app won’t work for me. Looks nice though. Shame
