Ratings and Reviews
Very pleasant…
Very good app but request one functionality that is missing :
Complete history logs would be nice… always find previous exchanges and be able to search in it. That could be a nice add
Developer Response ,
Unfortunately iOS just can't handle a huge message database. Apps like discord can do this because they aren't storing any messages, it's searching via an api call to their servers.
A sad joke
TL;DR don’t buy the app, it’s not worth it: you’ll have to buy it again.
Igloo IRC has been going through three iterations over the years. Three apps, three times where you were expected by the crybaby dev to pay.
At first, it was annoying but kinda okay because they gave you access to the new one after PREVENTING ACCESS TO AN APP YOU ALREADY PAID FOR.
This time they blocked the app and don’t give free access to the new one. It’s a IRC client: it cost nothing to maintain aside from the notification server.
The developers are crybabys, always answering “you just have to send a mail”. No, I don’t want to send a mail, I just want to use the app.
Greedy people… aaah
Developer Response ,
Learn to make your own app then. It's way more than just maintaining a notification server... If there are 2 different versions that means 2 different notification servers, on top of different API's for the different versions, on top of crash reports and bug fixes and more confusing support. You paid a few dollars and used an app for years and you're whining in an app store review, who's the real crybaby?
I am forced to install it
I bought the "old" version of igloo that was working perfectly for my use case. It got recently updated to purposefully disable it : it no longer works and prompts for installing and buying this "new" version again.
This underhanded way to force people who bought the app - to support it - to pay again, is shady and dishonest. The old app should not have been disabled through an update, unless the transition for paying users is free.
I recommend not spending a single dime on this app, they will retire it again for a "new" version later on for sure.
Developer Response ,
Nope, this version won't be retired because it's actually a good app that's coded properly that can and will be maintained easily. The old app was terrible and the first app I ever made, it's nearly impossible to work on.
