Colloquy - IRC Client App Reviews

The latest update is terrible. It used to crash occasionally, now it crashes every time I open the app. Please fix it ASAP.

If you enter a room that requires authorizing and the app closes for whatever reason, it then becomes impossible to open the app back up and continue because you automatically get banned from that group before you can re-auth your account. After getting the message saying I was banned, the app is then frozen, requiring you to close the app again and start over. But then you get banned again.

This app is like a rollercoaster ride. It sometimes works great then they ruin it after an update. The bugs were not fixed after update like unable to view second line when typing.

Now I cant see what I type on the chat bar!

When I want to type in a room, the keyboard is not working or blocking the chat. Please fix it soon, thanks.

I cant see what Im typing???

I used to use the app regularly. I recently redownloaded to find that nothing works. A big disappointment! Does not respond to any input once connected to a server on iOS 9. Too bad, used to be a great app.

Now, I cant even use the app. Cant see what I am word processing, tapping on room names or people doesnt work--its broken. Come on, fix it!

Update: As others have observed the iOS 9 version hides the text entry screen field and bottom five lines of room text on the iPhone 6. I just dont get how such a bad bug gets past testing. UPDATE: They were getting better the last few updates, but the 1/15 update crashes when I try connecting to the IRC server. This happens on my iPhone 6 Plus and my iPad Mini, and I see it does on a 5S another user posted. Does anyone do quality tests before they update this app?? The 12/21 update still hasnt fixed things. When using it with the virtual keyboard on my iPad Mini, black bars appear over the last thing said in the room or PM, making me minimize and then maximize the screen to get rid of them. Also, sometimes I am not presented with a text entry window in one orientation, and I have to rotate to another to get that text entry window. It would be nice if it was consistent, but some windows force me to landscape to get the text entry, but in the same session another will force me to portrait, making me feel like I am driving an obstacle course, not chatting. Egads. Previous entry: This was a great product til the latest update, now it is chock full of bugs that make it near unusable. The text entry fields dont appear unless you rotate the thing back and forth, on the phone in portrait to click on a room and nothing happens, etc. please fix it!

It still disables touch input whenever the keyboard closes.

Developer has been good at addressing bugs. Everything seems to be working quite well now. Great app for irc

This version does not respond to touch input. Occurs after any dialogue pops up. If youre set to auto connect to a server and it asks for your password to identify, the app is rendered entirely unusable. There is no way to race it to kill the connection fast enough. The app is entirely unusable.

I was getting the notifications from +ws mode of my nickname. It is just like /mode $me +R Now i got nothing after this version! I dont understand you guys why you always fix bugs and damage other things! The only reason I paid for colloquy cause it was the only App enables me to watch the +ws Now NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Does not respond to touch input at all after trying to connect... Worthless until fixed.

Unusably buggy. Not worth using, definitely not worth buying.

Finally working again for me. Thanks a lot!

The worst updates ever making it completely unusable.

Keep getting disconnected and keeps crashing on me. Please fix. Its useless right now.

Used to be a great app. Lots of crashes even on version 1.8.5 Screen on chat keeps getting narrower...sigh... App crashes unexpectedly ... It can reconnect but is annoying...

The latest versions require iOS 8+, but supposedly you can download an older version that works with iOS 7. It doesnt work at all. Doesnt connect to anything, and then crashes to the home screen. I might rewrite my review once I upgrade to iOS 8, but the compatible version apparently isnt compatible with anything.
