I was wondering if anyone could recommend an IRC client for Android.

I have tried AndroIRC before and wasn't too thrilled with it. Anyone
know any better(preferably free) clients?

I use Andchat and love it.

While not technically a client I use Quasseldroid/Quassel. Persistent
connection with a nice cross platform desktop client without messing
with irssi in a screen session.

Yup, I haven't used it myself but I've been hearing good things about
it. should certainly be tried out, at least.

I use it with ZNC I run on my Linode. I also leave a screen+irssi
session always connected. Never had a problem

AndChat, AndroIRC, the same question is the third link on this
subreddit's frontpage.

Same set up. Except tmux instead of screen, and weechat instead of
irssi.

Was going to say this too. I don't use Quasseldroid very often, but I
love Quassel on the desktop, and Quasseldroid is a great supplement.

Just curious, whats the advantage of tmux?

Its more modern, and actively updated/maintained. There seems to be a
large feature pallet with tmux. All in all its probably not a big
difference, but I'm very happy with tmux.

Thanks, I'll check it out. my only issue with screen is sometimes the
windows re-sizing gets a bit wonked

Andchat works rather well. The only problem is that I can't copy text
in it, pasting wors fine though.
