Keeps disconnecting
Will not stay connected, even if I switch away from it for just a moment. Also doesn’t reconnect properly.
Best IRC for Apple Products
Clean and modern client that aims to bring IRC back to the masses with an easy-to-use interface.
Disconnection still a problem
The first and immediate concern is, why does the app close connections when the app isn’t in focus. Sending the app to the background will close out your connections.
The observation has been made by several other reviewers. Would like to hear from the developer.
It also seems that the app has not received a new build in quite some time.
Otherwise a solid app for the price.

Don’t buy until there’s an update in 2024
Lots of bugs. It’s currently abandonware. Don’t recommend buying until they update it for new iOS versions
No Longer Maintained
Palaver has not been updated in years and lacks many IRCv3 capabilities.
I would recommend users try Goguma.

Mystified
I paid the fee to check it out. I don’t get it at all. What’s it supposed to do?
Amazing little client
This client has ZNC support where the disconnect and reconnect are seamless, which is nice since iOS and iPadOS limit background connections. The in app link and image preview feature is great too.
Znc!
It’s great that it has znc capabilities and I have it setup with linuxserver.io docker-znc image, which includes the palaver extension. But I have to dock palaver one star because it doesn’t have Face ID or a passcode to secure the app. Maybe I’m paranoid, but I don’t want someone using my phone to have access to my IRC.

Bought it for one reason, and it didn’t come with that feature…
I bought Palaver to be able to do dcc file transfers. Unlike some other IRC programs on iOS it does not do them. I feel like I wasted my money therefore.
Best irc app
This is a great app, but I wish above any other feature, that I could automatically sort my channels without having to manually drag the channels around.
Simple,beautiful,useful.
It’s really easy to use. The only issue is always be disconnected. But I give 5 star for effort. Many thanks.
Not bad
It use to be okay back in the day but now lags behind the competition - there are better alternatives.
It’s the best we’ve got
So, look. I gave it five stars on a curve. The rest of the field is... lacking. Palaver’s ZNC support is great. The UI is standard iOS, which is good. I’d love for custom themes, or at least the ability to customize elements within a theme.
Still, it’s easily the best IRC client on the App Store.

Pretty good
Can you make a keyboard shortcut to focus on the input box though? This is almost completely navigable with keyboard only, except for sending messages 🤠
Almost Perfect
IRC is old, and let’s be honest, hasn’t kept up with the shift to mobile and multiple devices. However, Palaver combined with ZNC and the Palaver push notification module is probably as close as you can get to a fluid mobile experience. It’s a great app and offers all the feature you’d expect from irc plus a few more

I like it BUT...
I like the App so far- aesthetically pleasing, ergonomical, fairly straightforward.
HOWEVER, I wish it had a function or option to REMAIN CONNECTED when I go use another app or do something else with my phone.
For $1.99, I think I should get that.

Can’t Connect to Gamesurge server (EDIT)
Does this app support gamesurge? I tried connecting and am getting an error, perhaps I am typing in incorrect info but if anyone knows how to connect to Gamesurge via ANY IRC app for Iphone, please let me know.
I was able to successfully connect to Gamesurge, which was the main issue here. App looks great, I really enjoy the layout. The only things bugging me is the fact that if I leave the app running in the background for a very short amount of time, if I bring the app back up, I have to reconnect to everything, which is a bit annoying. Only other thing is the signature when you leave, it leaves a link to Palaver’s website, which I don’t want. A custom exit message could be nice, but I mostly just don’t want to see the link. Aside from this, I do enjoy the app.

Response from developer
Hey westside24ch, connecting to GameSurge works just fine in our testing, just make sure to turn off SSL (the server does not seem to support this). If you still experience issues, could you reach out to us on support@palaverapp.com and share the exact error message? Then we can help you find the problem.
Active developers, daily use app.

Former Mutter user, switched to Palaver without hesitation after witnessing the developers responsiveness and passion within their support channel. ⌘K was a suggestion of mine; thanks!

Please add Blowfish support
Blowfish encryption is missing to this beautiful client. Without blowfish it's almost useless
Smooth and well designed experience.
I use Palaver for my iPhone and iPad and it works exceedingly smooth. Modern features are supported along with some ZNC bouncer support. Devs are also responsive.
