I don't even use IRC that much anymore but I bought it and its the best OS X client I've ever used.
A very good client. It's not quite as powerful as some of the uglier ones and not nearly as free as the free ones but it looks good, works well, and is actually being updated.
Finally a real irc client for the mac. replacing whatever is out there. And a good mIRC alternative for the mac.. I've bought a bundle license and gave a copy to my friends who also switched from windows.
Fantastic client. Great features, far more stable than Colloquy, and being actively developed and supported to boot! $20 incredibly well spent.
This is really THE best IRC client for Mac, no doubt!
Tons of features, perfect GUI and a good support by the dev himself.
I give it a 5 star
I think I’ll buy it. I use Colloquy for my work but it’s very buggy
I only bought this over using Collaquay was the UI interface. The alternating colour tags for users in a chat is must for me.
ill be sticking with Colloquy aswell. Doesnt really look like this has anymore features that justify the $20 price tag.
Until Linkinus supports more international text encodings, I'm sticking with Colloquy. Looks promising, though.
