User reviews

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work at all. Cannot connect. No error messages. No debug logs. Nothing. Just won’t connect at all. Useless.

Basic IRC App, No chat logging capability

Does not support chat logging. Loses connection if Turbo Window closes. Great App for non-serious IRC users. No spell check capabilty

Worse $2.99 I ever spent

The app slows down to the point it’s unusable. And, after downloading ONE file, it started failing getting other files, saying they are 0 bytes.

Non sense

No trial?

The app does what it claims

The app works well. There is a learning curve but it is not a deal breaker. Could there be improvements? Yes, but with all things maybe in time.
