Palaver IRC App Reviews

It does pretty without skimping significantly on functionality. kudos for proactively supporting ZNC. I considered this the best IRC app on iOS over 2 years ago and after taking a long hiatus that hasn't changed. well done.

This is a really slick client. I love the way it looks (very iOS-y, 10/10 btw), the way it loads, and the way there is a level of "hackability." I've never had to pay for a mobile IRC client before but after seeing the price of other clients and the departure of others, I feel comfortable paying for this one. Will definitely recommend to my friends.

Connects to my bouncer. Presumably will keep getting updated since it’s for-pay.

I appreciate the developer’s supportiveness. I had trouble getting the ZNC-push module to work for me. It turned out to be an SSL certificate trust issue on my server, and Kyle pointed me in the right direction to get things working again.

For a long time I used Mutter IRC to access IRC through my ZNC bouncer on my iPhone. Mutter reached its end of life this past summer, and I was left in want of the features that Mutter had, particularly a ZNC push notification module. Palaver works great as a Mutter replacement! It has a ZNC push notification module that works just like Mutter’s did. It’s design is intuitive and sleek. My only qualm with it was resolved in Palaver’s most recent update—it now supports the buffextras ZNC module, s

Blowfish encryption is missing to this beautiful client. Without blowfish it's almost useless

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 you make a keyboard shortcut to focus on the input box though? This is almost completely navigable with keyboard only, except for sending messages 🤠

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.

It’s really easy to use. The only issue is always be disconnected. But I give 5 star for effort. Many thanks.

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.

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.

Shame that an IRC client that has been around for as long as this has — and still being maintained! — still has somewhat limited functionality.
