Pros and cons of Mango IRC - Chat client app for iPhone and iPad

Mango IRC - Chat client app good for

Nice interface, good features, and cheaper then a lot of apps that do the same or less, and/or include ads. One minor problem, send is right next to quit! But otherwise, 9/10. If I could give half stars... But Im nice so Ill round up.
When this app was still called iIRC, I thought it was decent if you just wanted a simple IRC client. However, this update has forced me to update this review just because its that good. A lot of the requested features that were in the reviews before were multitasking support, landscape functionality, and other things. This is all now pretty much included in this update, which throws this app back into the competition. Plus, you can now monitor multiple chatrooms at once, which can be great if youre focused on one chatroom but want to check out the others every once in a while. I havent experienced any crashes as of yet. What I would like to suggest is to add more color options to it. Sometimes, gray and white can seem a little bland. Also, have a colored status indicator of what youre connected to and what youre not, as having a gray dot can make things slightly confusing. This app is a must-buy for those looking for a good IRC client.
When I first bought this app it crashed all of the time. Now that the update is here, I am having no more problems! Great IRC client. My only complaint is that it was difficult to figure out. When you are adding a connection, you need to fill out the entire form including channels to automatically join. If you dont, the first console will not allow you to so anything (identify or join channels). Overall, a great app!
The best free irc client :) ( il migliore irc client gratuito ) good work man,thanks.

Some bad moments

1: No multi-tasking. For me, this is a huge problem. 2: Send is on the top next to quit. Id prefer is instead of return itd be send. 3: Crashes very often. If something pops up twice (notices, etc) the app crashes which is very annoying if someone is texting you... Now crashes every time I open the app. 4: No queries 5: Limited actions... No /me, no /notice, etc
Crashes way too often, I highly suggest not buying this application
Ever since I purchased the app, it crashes as soon as I open it, that needs to be fixed in an update or something. Other than that I have nothing more to say since I never really seen anything of the app.
Dont buy this garbage the developer is a total a hole if you suggest a improvement or feature he replies telling you to F off I regret paying for this trash and suggestion it to anyone ever . To the dev I hope you love this review
Works great! Does everything a mobile irc client should do. Fast and stable. Well worth the price! Recommended to all the irc geeks out there!
Will not connect to any undernet irc servers. App crashes on splash screen half the time. How do I get a refund?
