Looking for the best IRC to use on my iPhone 4S. Using it for
moderator discussions. I would prefer one with push notifications.

colloquy is a pretty popular choice, though not perfect.

Thanks for the quick response. Does it have Push Notifications or a
method of getting them?

I rarely use it, so I'm not entirely sure. But colloquy seems to be
the only legit iOS client, as far as I can tell.

This is not only a client, but a whole solution: IRCCloud.

IRCCloud is a free (w/o ads) or payed for IRC bouncer that is
accessible from their web app, their mobile apps (which includes iOS),
and their API.

Their mobile apps also support push notifications.

Downloading and trying now. Thanks.

I came here to mention IRC Cloud. But also Palaver is a nice simple
IRC client for iOS as well.

Question about IRC Cloud. I have limited experience with IRC, when I
went to the link that was provided for me on PC, I just entered a
nickname and started chatting on the server. Now, after downloading
IRC so I could access it from mobile, it requests an email and
password? For what exactly? Do I need to make an account with them?

Yes you need an account which may require an invite.

Let me know what you think :)

I agree. It's definitely worth the couple of dollars that it cost IMO.

It does have push notifications. You can enable them (I believe on a
server-by-server basis) in the settings.

This bugs the hell out of me! The only way I saw to get around this
was to JB my phone, and I just didn't feel like doing that yet.

Thanks. I thought it did but wasn't 100% sure.
