Looking for a decent irc client on my android phone and tablet. Any

HoloIRC. You'll love it. There's going to be more developments soon

I'm a fan of
[andchat](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.andchat)

+1 AndChat is basically the best* ever.

* Your mileage may vary, but I like it more than any other existing
Android IRC client that I've seen (which is basically most of them).

Quassel has been working great for me, but the best I've used EVER is
[IRCCloud](https://www.irccloud.com) (PM me your email if you want an
invite)

I prefer [AndroIRC](http://www.androirc.com/). It's pretty easy to
use, and it puts highlights in the notification area, and a number of
lines received since the app was last looked at.

I tend to switch between my own under development client and Andchat.
The Andchat UI is nothing to write home about (if you're on a tablet,
[you might like the side panes](https://lh6.ggpht.com/fZxzPT9CGQ6tyihf
5YpHobwgpTfdenRC0VmRUryOIJUWavxnCFQ9U8BEKC02Fp-sKmT8=h310), but even
closed they take up an annoying place in the UI on my 800x480 phone),
but it works well and supports everything I've needed.  I much prefer
the interface of my own client, but it's not yet stable enough for
regular use, as I still have quite a few bugs to fix.

AndroIRC probably has the closest thing to a proper [tablet interface]
(https://lh6.ggpht.com/30lL45pv5WF3W07yAoIz-
8Hm5q9T8BbcZjoiGeGY53to2ds29L0g5fEvKOs_W5ghAVE=h900) of current
android clients, but I don't own a tablet and don't really like it on
a phone that much so I haven't used it that long.

Yaaic is [functional](https://lh6.ggpht.com/30lL45pv5WF3W07yAoIz-
8Hm5q9T8BbcZjoiGeGY53to2ds29L0g5fEvKOs_W5ghAVE=h900), [but ugly](https

7EgpA642dBoMUd3qK1Io1AS6nfjSIg=h900).

I haven't used Quassel or IRCCloud as cloud clients aren't my thing. I
just haven't trusted similar services since the cloud IM clients I
used have either shut down (Meebo) or started trying to push people
into their social network thing (imo).

I move through some poor signal areas and a bouncer couldn't really
keep up tidily with drops mid conversation, so I use Quassel to take a
advantage of their split client thing, running the Quassel core on my
box and connecting to that on my phone. Also has the nice advantage of
everything being exactly the same on my computer and my Android
devices.

Thanks for all your input everybody! Time to see which suggestion fits
my style.

I love andchat, I just wish it had a channel list.
