Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This app is a relay client for WeeChat. It allows you to connect your phone or tablet to your WeeChat client and read/reply to your messages while away from your computer. This app is NOT a standalone an IRC client. It connects to WeeChat that has to be running on a remote machine. If you are looking for a standalone IRC client for Android, you will need to look elsewhere. Check out our GitHub if you have any questions or issues! (This listing was formerly a nightly version of the app. As we were experiencing technical difficulties with the main listing, we decided to remove it and use this listing instead. So, while this app still has the suffix “dev”, it is built in the same way as the release version and should be considered stable.)
