Mango is a native IRC client for iPhone and iPad. Follow your communities, catch up on conversations, and make your chat feel like home.
YOUR CONVERSATIONS, ORGANIZED
• Connect to multiple IRC networks and keep channels and direct messages together
• Find mentions in retained history and jump back to the original conversation
• Follow reply threads and browse pinned messages on compatible servers
• Search channels, complete nicknames, and use familiar IRC commands
MORE THAN PLAIN TEXT
• Rich link and image previews, inline video playback, and audio players with waveforms
• Emoji reactions, custom emoji, and image-link stickers
• Browse, re-share, and manage files in your Mango Uploads library
• Choose themes, fonts, chat layouts, and notification sounds
CONNECT YOUR WAY
• Direct IRC connections, TLS, and WebSocket connections to compatible servers
• soju and ZNC bouncer support, with network discovery and connection management
• Local conversation caching and earlier history from servers that support CHATHISTORY

Server-dependent features require support from your IRC server or bouncer. Push notifications require a compatible bouncer and setup. Mango Uploads requires a Mango Account. You can connect to other IRC networks without a Mango Account; individual networks may require their own account.
I discovered Mango while seeking a replacement for a recently retired app. I was delighted to find it to be handsome, up-to-date and fully featured. Also, unlike some others, it is being actively developed and maintained.
One of the best IRC clients in a long time!

Having used Linkinus, LimeChat, and many other OS X IRC clients, this one is by far the best one. Subtle colouring, integrated full-screen support for Lion (and no crashing!), and ease of use makes this my favorite IRC client. Even though there are no preference to set, you really don't need to set any - it has everything you need out of the box for basic IRC uses.
Good app, some oddities, but overall good.

Here's my suggestions:- Allow me to send chanserv commands on login somehow.- Move the textfield for a given channel to the bottom. Its really weird with it up at the top.- If you're in search with some text in there, and go somewhere else in the app there's some weird FirstResponder problems, namely that it won't change.- Add some color configurations. The default colors are a little hard to discern from one another. ie: i'd bold user names first off.Love the overall design though.
Like the Feel, Dislike the Bugs

Honestly, I've been using it for part of a day and the bugs are irriating. I close my lid with Mango open and upon return, Mac OS X / The Dock appear to not recognize that Mango is running and I'm unable to Quit through the menu or with Command-Q. I am unable to use the nickname auto-completion. Tab does not work and the 'X' does not actually close the dialog.I like it, but it needs some polishing. Good luck on it!
