Ratings and Reviews
Best IRC Application for MacOS
There is no equal, save for weechat, on macOS.
But the App store version, specifically, is not supported anymore. Get this program directly from the developers' website (and support them for their hard work).
Works great on an M1 MacBook Air
It has everything I wanted in an IRC client and is very easy to use.
DCC is broken
DCC works fine on the trial version downloaded direct from the website. The app store version does not work. It just stays in limbo saying "control-click to start" despite having automatically accept enabled. Control-click does not do anything. Suport for DCC resume is the entire reason I purhased this app. Furthermore, the app is no longer supported per their website support page.
