Rooms - Your Mobile IRC Chat Client

Chatting with the whole world has never been so easy. Just start Rooms and you’re connected - everywhere and every time!

Based on Chat Core* (part of the Colloquy project) Rooms provides you easy access to every IRC network all over the world.

If you dont know anything about this IRC thing, this isnt even a problem since the app also provides a preselected list of channels to start chatting right after youve entered your nickname.
Using this IRC chat protocoll you can even join for example ICQ or Ustream chat rooms, cause they share the same technique!

Rooms already comes with a lot of functionality, but more and more features are planned to be added in upcoming (free) updates.
Besides the screenshots and the feature list below, theres also a screencast on the webpage to show how it works.

Please take a look at the FAQ using the support link if you need any more help.
