Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Terrible Vision Accessibility Features

    By R Encke (Pcmac user)

    This app does not support ios dynamic type for larger font sizes and the largest font size built into the app is still much too small for most visually impaired users, making the app entirely unusable even for the visually impaired person who simply needs a larger font size and doesn't use magnification or screen readers
  • Keyboard

    By Kik user 7377 (Pcmac user)

    App is not working on iPhone X. Keyboard does not show. Can’t type messages. Useless. Please fix!
  • Great!

    By WhyTheNickGuys? (Pcmac user)

    Happy to see this app get an update and get a background reconnect feature.
  • A good start. Missing some important features

    By DjSeeko (Pcmac user)

    I am a heavy chat user and there are some very basic features that are needed in chat clients for them to be functional. I decided to download this app after Colloquy completely destroyed their IOS app in their last release and the do not seem interested in addressing the issues. The this app interface is simple and easy to read and the time stamping feature is an important must have. The 2 functions that are missing are the ability to set audible alerts for channel or PM messaging and the ability to receive messages via IOS notification center when the app is running in the background. Messaging is needed for replies to PM's along with a notification when the app is going to shutdown due to the 10 min background limit that Apple imposes (with an option to hit the notification and automatically reset the timer for another 10 mins). Colloquy does this really well, but they messed the interface up in their latest release. On a positive note, I did contact the this app developer and gave him my suggestions. He responded very quickly and seemed genuinely interested in my suggestions (asking questions). Take a look at the version release dates on the other chat clients and you will see that most of them are 1 or 2 years old! Not a good sign of a developer that is committed to their product long term. Hopefully the this app developer will live up to expectations because I think that he has a solid baseline for a decent chat app.
