Great app to connect to my favourite channel (PowerShell) on chat.eu.freenode.net. sstrangerwp7
Works really good. Hope they add a background agent so I stay logged in when minimizing. :) HanniLiger
Very good. I think this is just about as good as an IRC client can be on a phone, and now it event has support for secure connections! jason404z

Features The most secure and feature rich Windows Phone IRC Application
Easy to get started
If you know the basics of IRC chat (Internet Relay Chat), you can get started in few seconds. Chat with thousands of other IRC users with this Windows Phone IRC client.
Multi-server support
With this Windows Phone IRC application you’re not limited to only one server. Want to connect to both the QuakeNet and the IRCNet, simultaneously? IRC7 can do that for you.
Nick and link highlighting
Don't miss important messages. Your nick is always highlighted and you can open links directly from the chat window.
User management
Op, kick and send private messages from a easy-to-use user management window.
Lightweight
Even though this IRC client is rich with features, it doesn't stress your phone.
Smart encoding
IRC7 defaults to UTF-8 encoding. This works in most of the situations, but if this IRC app notices problems with someone’s messages, it automatically reverts to ISO 8859-1.
Secure
The only Windows Phone IRC application available which supports SSL. Also SASL is supported, making this IRC client very secure
Scriptable
Startup scripts and custom aliases. Custom aliases can be created with a smart scripting syntax.
Active Community
IRC7 is already rich with features. But it will get better and better. If you have an idea of how to make the app even better, share it with others through the UserVoice. irc7.uservoice.com

Free version and new pricing
15.4.2012
We have just released a completely free version of IRC7. The IRC7 Free offers almost all the same features as the full version, except the support for startup scripts and custom aliases. In addition the free version shows some ads from Microsoft and AdDuplex. Also the full version has now a new price, $1.99.
The reason behind releasing the free version is simple: Download numbers. Even though much effort has been put into the IRC7, the download numbers have been a little disappointment to us. We’ve seen some spikes, for example when we released the SSL support, but overall the daily downloads haven’t been that high. We recognize that the IRC itself isn’t such a major player in IM as it used to be but we’re interested to see how a free version compares against the commercial version.
Let us know how you feel about the free version.
We have moved
