I have a iPhone 4 and there are several iOS apps, but most of them
cost money, and the free ones are pretty shitty. Anyone know a good
one?

Is Colloquy available on iPhone? When I was on Mac OS X, I would use
that almost exclusively until I moved onto irssi.

Yeah I run the Colloquoy App for iPhone, works well.

Software costing money?! :o

Your reaction is based in a misunderstanding that all software costs
money.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

No it's based on the fact he has seemingly ruled out paid software,
which I think is a big mistake. Especially on the iOS app store where
most things are very inexpensive.

"..but most of them cost money"

I meant that i don't want to spend money unless I know it works

I will second Colloquy. I use it for OSX and was very excited when
they put out an iOS client. Works great, no complaints.

Limechat was my favorite, but it costs idk how much. For free, def
Colloquy.

Mango works well and doesn't require a jailbreak.  Otherwise,
definitely go with Colloquy.

No, he just doesn't want to spend money on a bad product. Thus, asking
reddit for the best one.

I haven't used any of the other IRC apps for iPod/Phone but I like to
use Rooms. It's fairly simple and you can easily set commands to be
sent on connection to the server. It used to be one of the top apps
but a problem with Apple caused it to lose it's rank.

I'm a fan of screen+irssi so I made a small webapp to interact with
the screen I've have running on my server.

Yes, I'd also recommend Colloquy, been using it for months and I have
no complaints.

I use Limechat and love it. It has a good interface and is easy to use

Rooms is generally the favoured IRC client on iOS by most of the dev
people.
