## Colloquy Reviews in United States

### *---- "Inappropriate content"
Certain channels should be monitored and blocked.
-- Franko1005, 2021-05-18

### *---- "Used to be great, needs update"
Crashes on launch on iOS 14. Please fix
-- Realdasho, 2021-01-04

### ***-- "Yes, iOS 13 broke it"
I’ve been using this client for many years and it worked perfectly! Up until iPadOS 13. It no longer scrolls automatically to show new messages when the screen is full. 

Also (and I think this is more of an issue with iPadOS, but I’m still going to mention it just in case), when using Colloquy in split screen/multitasking (chat on the right, Safari on the left), I can’t browse/scroll Safari on the left-hand side and keep the cursor “live” in the chat on the right-hand side. I have to tap on the chat side to be able to type anything again. I used to be able to type whenever I wanted with my connected keyboard while still scrolling the internet with my finger on the left. 

Just very inconvenient all around now, which has pushed me to stop using this app on my iPad. I have to pull out my laptop and use the program on there, which is annoying.

I’m still giving this 3 stars because it’s served me well for so many years. But I wanted to write this review to let the developers know that some features aren’t working any longer and to hopefully get an update!
-- MNC9, 2019-10-08

### *---- "Ios13 broke it"
As of ios13 for some reason the chats don’t scroll. No longer functional and very annoying. Please update it I have uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail.
-- RedRunt01, 2019-10-02

### *---- "iPhone X"
I am using an iPhone X running iOS 11.4 and the conversation scrolling cuts the last line of everything off at the bottom.
-- matthew41, 2018-06-01

### *---- "Doesn’t work on iPhone X"
I don’t know if it’s an iOS 11 issue or an iPhone X issue, but this app hangs as soon as I start it. Unable to adjust any settings or click on any button.  Have to kill the app to exit.  

Used the apps for years with znc and it worked great. Not sure why it is so bad now.
-- Möbius loop, 2018-04-04

### *---- "This version is miserable"
I am using colloquy since 2015
I dont recommendd this app atm since it has many bugs.

It has only one thing which is very nice
It supports fallback encoding too

Please fix it and change the interface
-- @AlrabiahF, 2017-11-28

### *---- "Full of bugs"
This mobile version of Colloquy is very different from the desktop version.  This mobile version is barely usable.  Below is a list of bugs I frequently encounter each time I use it.

• Display bug where console window bar will be drawn as a duplicate channel window bar.  Clicking on a bar to reopen and return seems to force it to redraw properly

• Display bug where duplicate user names are listed in channel

• Bug that prevents private messaging a user in channel - app believes user is offline when they are clearly online.

• Bug that prevents a whois on a user that has joined a channel if selected from chat window - app believes user is offline, however console displays whois info just fine.  Workaround is to select user from user listing instead of chat window.

• Bug that draws first two or three lines in a private conversation above visible space.  Must swipe pull down private chat window to read.  Even the preview next to user name bar does not properly display the text hidden above

• Random bug where message and channel bars become locked and are unselectable.  A workaround is to “open a console” to unlock this condition, this works even if console window is already open

At its current state, I cannot recommend this app - save your money.  There are likely other IRC apps that work better than this.
-- Tenshi-X, 2017-10-05

### *---- "Slowest IRC client I've ever used"
The app seems like a wonderful idea… Until you try to use it to connect to a chat room. Worked very well on older versions of iOS. The developers really need to do some work to keep it current. Sometimes, it takes me up to an hour to connect to a chat room… Where as with any other client, or via the web, I connect instantly.
-- Wes Derby, 2017-08-22

### *---- "Not working."
I'm not sure if it's the app or not, but I got this to try and run Pesterchum with a guide from Tumblr, but it won't even let me send messages. Sadly, no other apps will work either.
-- Marissa Vargas, 2017-08-05

### *---- "doesnt seem to work"
Cant connect to any irc servers.   Used to work in previous versions.  Not sure if it has anything to do with ipv6 or latest version of iOS.
-- Frank244, 2017-05-24

### ***** "Excellent"
A bit tricky at first
-- PilotKAC, 2016-11-16

### *---- "Buggy"
Problems listed below are still present on the latest release. They must not care about the iPad I guess...
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...
-- ripacheco, 2016-10-30

### *---- "Waste of almost 2 dollars"
I can't see what I'm typing as I type it...
-- TAYLORSWIFTLOVER15, 2016-07-26

### *---- "Keyboard"
Keyboard overlaps chat room, unable to see what im typing
-- Somadlol, 2016-07-18

### ***-- "Still issues."
Update: Wish user names were different colors. 

IRCcloud is my first choice for an IRC client.
-- Spudboy2006, 2016-07-14

### *---- "Fixed"
The private messages have been fixed 👍 however now unable to use the add channel button
-- Thehatch2002, 2016-07-12

### *---- "Horribly broken app now"
With the newest version, the app is unusably broken. Every time someone sends you a message, it opens in a new window (even if you already have a message window open for that user). You end up with a ton of messages open if you try to have a message conversation with anyone. Ugh.
-- DN2016, 2016-06-18

### *---- "I couldn't begin to tell you what is happening with this app"
This thing behave like no IRC app I've ever seen.  Many many windows. Multiple chat windows open for very message received. The message list get huge immediately and but won't scroll so you can see them all.  Something is seriously wrong with this app and its mind blowing that it ever made it to production in this state.  Very disappointing showing from the folks who make such a useful and great desktop app.
-- oldAppliance, 2016-06-18

### *---- "New version issues"
Are you kidding me? What did you fix?
Now every time someone replies to a Pvt message, it opens a new window, so instead of a conversation, you have multiple windows open for every reply.
People still appear offline when they are online. And it crashes without warning very often still.
Every time you " fix " something you break something else. 
App is a joke
-- Linskypens, 2016-06-18
