DCC doesn’t work

The good: it’s simple and lightweight.
The bad: description says this is a “full featured” IRC client - you need to uncollapse it and scroll to the end to see the fine print (that some features are not implemented and are unlikely to ever be). It’s on me that I bought it before reading the whole text, but there’s a bit of false advertising here as well.

Excellent

Excellent app, just check a bug on iOS 26.1, every time you send a message the keyboard “jumps”.

Çok güzel türkçe dil desteği mevcut

Tek kötü yanı güncelleme gelmemesi

Bad scrolling issues

Long time user. The scrolling is broken, whenever I send a message it jumps in a weird way. Dev, please fix.

Non riesco a farla funzionare

come si può chiedere il rimborso?
