Introducing the new Igloo: a complete overhaul delivering an IRC Client with enhanced performance and stability. This latest version, reengineered from the ground up, offers a refined user experience while maintaining the simplicity and versatility you expect from Igloo. What's New: • Multi-File DCC/XDCC: Enhanced to support simultaneous file transfers, now conveniently stored locally for immediate access. • Redesigned User Interface: A cleaner, more intuitive UI paired with a selection of themes, elevating your chat experience. • Optimized for Bouncers: Advanced features tailored for a seamless experience with popular bouncers like ZNC. Core Features: • Comprehensive Network Support: Compatible with all IRC networks, including Freenode, Libera, Rizon, EFnet, and more. • Secure Communication: Ensured by SSL/TLS encryption. • ZNC Integration: Seamless integration with ZNC and a Push Notification module (https://push.igloo.app). • Versatile File Sharing: File, image, audio, and video sharing supported through platforms like Arxius.io and Imgur.com. • Enhanced Input Completion: For channels, nicks, and commands. • Inline Media Viewing: Experience inline media display for a more engaging chat environment. • Customization and Compliance: Customize your experience with inline nick coloring, full formatting with 99 color support, and adherence to IRCv3 standards. • VoiceOver Accessibility: Enhanced accessibility features including VoiceOver integration to support our vision-impaired users. We're committed to evolving Igloo based on your feedback. If there are features you'd like to see in future updates, please let us know at contact@igloo.app or join us at #igloo on iglooirc.com.

Sucks its no longer free

Really enjoyed the classic version, gave just enough features for me to enjoy it the few times a year I need IRC for something. Not really interested in paying for a app I use 3 times a year. I am sure the new version is sweet.

Developer Response
I really wish you would've been less confrontational and sent a friendly email or came to our IRC channel first, you would've gotten a free code like everyone else that does that. Don't be so quick to leave a 1 star review, it gets you nowhere.

Forced upgrade
2024-05-12

Was a happy user of previous edition, took an update, now requiring me to upgrade (and pay for the upgrade). I was considering the upgrade (and open to paying), however being forced to puts a bad taste in my mouth, and I will pursue alternatives (pay or not). I am fine with no further updates to what is now the “classic” edition - what I am not fine with is being forced to pay for an upgrade that I do not want. Response to dev: There is no requirement to deprecate and halt support. Just leave as is. The That is the problem - removing access for something that was paid for and doesn’t need further revisions. This is coming from a software development professional - you are clearly frustrating your customers, and I agree with the other review - cash grab. I was open to paying on the new app until this happened, and now will not.Further response: your behaviour and responses demonstrate exactly what I am indicating.

The old app being there means I get non stop crash reports, support emails, and bug reports from users for things I likely can't or won't fix because that app is coded like garbage since it was my first app I've ever made. Also lol at "cash grab" the ~100 people that use IRC on their phone in 2024, such a cash grab. Both the classic app and this app were made for me and I was nice enough to share them with other people. This isn't for the money, but I do value my time that I could be spending on literally anything else where I won't be berated with negativity after spending months of my time making a better qualitfiendingResponse to the further response: What's sad is that if you didn't take it to a 1 star review from the start and were just a decent person, you could've emailed or come to our IRC channel and asked for a free code. About 100 have been given out to nice people who just asked for it, reported a bug, or were just civil people instead of a keyboard warrior fiending for a 10 second dopamine rush from a bad review that's just going to get wiped in a few days anyway.

The app is responsive looks like it works well but it is not free as the other comment suggests.
