User Reviews for Igloo - IRC Client

Inaccessible

Dark Theme should not be a paid feature, as dark backgrounds are a necessity for people with vision issues. Capitalizing on accessibility issues by forcing those who need a dark background to pay for it in order to even test the app - since a white background fails accessibility guidelines - is highly unethical and should be reconsidered.Any response other than "agreed" by the developer will land this app featured in a case study on unethical UX design to a wide audience on a popular tech publication. Cheers

kudos, 10/10

was looking for an IRC client that can download files and this worked perfectly with a one time payment of $6. compared to other IRC apps on the market, the UI doesn’t look like it’s from 2008. also loved reading the dev’s response to some silly goofy reviews lol.

Five Stars Plus!

I was a contented mIRC client user on my PC for years but a bicycle accident left me tetraplegic and dependent on iOS Voice Control to operate my iPad. After reading other reviews posted here it was with no small amount of trepidation that I downloaded Igloo and paid the small cost of getting it up and running. I needn't have worried- with all due respect every one of those negative reviews is so much bunk. The app works perfectly in every regard and I was immediately able to match and then surpass what I was doing using mIRC. To steal the phrase "it just works" I'll add "…and then some!"

Good choice for iOS IRC

Everything that you need - very functional and tight, with an easy interface and no creepy privacy concerns. Due to iOS limitations by Apple, the 30 second timeout is annoying. Thankfully, there are solutions detailed by the developer to implement an intermediate ‘push’ solution.

best irc client

I'm amazed about all the great things inside this app. the themes are nice. I love being able to ask questions to the Dev when I have issues. I can't wait to see more great things from Eskimo.

Forced upgrade with no backup

The previous Igloo app was deprecated and replaced by this one. The old app was forcibly disabled, giving you only the option to save your configuration to iCloud. It then instructs you to download this new version, but loading that configuration requires a paid upgrade. What?Edit: hahaha look at the replies from the developer on other negative reviews. Imagine thinking so highly of yourself that you call your users “stupid” and extorting positive reviews from them in exchange for giving them the app they originally paid for. The one good thing about this forced upgrade was that it convinced me to never give this developer another cent, because they don’t deserve it.

Great Support

Eskimo had to change the way Igloo functions because of how/what Apple allows. Now light users can use it for free and pro users can pay for all the bells and whistles. If you already bought the previous version, just contact him and he’ll transfer your Pro purchase to the new version. Saved config via iCloud and imported into new version. Everything transferred over and worked perfectly! Best iOS IRC client and great developer.

Upgrade process was unclear

So, Igloo is decent as an IRC client. It generally works well. The biggest issue I have, they killed the old Igloo and re-released it. I didn’t get any notice about the change until I fired it up recently, saw a “this app no longer works” notice, and had to find the upgrade directions in the appstore reviews. This could have been clearer.

A must have app

Amazing app! The only real IRC on iOS and iPadOS. I honestly think this is even better than my windows based IRC applications. Not only that but the customer service with these guys is extremely good and they are quick to respond to issues. I’m so happy with this app and they’re making it better all the time.

Description

Igloo is a modern IRC client that supports lots of IRCv3 extensions and works flawlessly with all your favorite networks like Freenode, Libera, Snoonet, Rizon, EFnet, and all others. It has a very simple UI and lots of great themes to choose from. It is the only IRC client on iOS to support DCC/XDCC downloads that get synced right to iCloud Drive so you can access them on your iPhone/iPad in the Files app or on your macOS computer right in a folder called "Igloo".

We've also added some extra modifications to improve your experience when using a bouncer such as ZNC, and we even support the IRCCloud bouncer. This client has it all! If you think of something we haven't please let use know and we'll add it! Key Features: • SSL/TLS • SASL Authentication • ZNC Integration (with push module https://znc.iglooirc.com) • DCC/XDCC support (receiving only) • File/Image/Audio/Video sharing (via Arxius.io, Imgur.com, or your own custom host) • FaceID/TouchID protection option • Input completion for channels, nicks, commands and emoji shortcodes • Now playing script with support for Apple Music and Spotify • Inline nick coloring • Inline media • Full formatting and colors • IRCv3 Compliant • Pretty themes Have questions/comments/suggestions? • #igloo on freenode • [email protected]
