Some improvements, still feels a little unpolished

I’ve been using this app for a number of years, and have had some of the same complaints that others have had. A few of them have been fixed, namely tab completion and iPhone X and newer screen support. Other than my nitpicky issues, the app works well enough. I wouldn’t recommend using this as a primary Quassel client, but it’s a great way to stay on top of your IRC backlog.

Overall, the app feels a bit unpolished. When you return to the app from the app switcher, you get a “Please reconnect to core” message that hangs for about 1 second while the app reconnects in the background.

Dark mode exists, which is better than some apps, but it definitely doesn’t feel like the developer uses dark mode regularly. There are a number of interface elements that do not appear to be extensively tested with dark mode. Namely, when reconnecting to the core, it’s black text on white background, which can be visually jarring if your entire device is set up with dark mode.

Tab complete is a new feature in 1.8.2, which works as you would expect. It’s a nice addition, so props for that.

Overall, $0.99 is a decent price for this app. Three stars, because the app has some shortcomings, but it’s still one of the first apps I download on any new iOS device I get.

Developer Response ,

Could you retry with 1.8.2? We have iPhone X and tab completion now

Works. But abandoned.

It functions enough to use for quassel but there doesn’t seem to be any active development for this app anymore. Last update was over a year ago. It has a few bugs like broken reconnections and the ui can go for some improvement. It’s the only quassel app for iOS though so it is what it is. I’ll just use blink and irc from a terminal.

Abandonware

App was 3 star at best, now fully broken in 15.1 Developer has clearly abandoned app, don’t waste your time.

Edit: so not abandonware, dev update resolved issue.

Developer Response ,

It seems your research is wrong, you should have checked the issue tracker instead: https://github.com/woboq/iquassel/issues/34
2.0.2 is fixing the brokenness.
