Mango IRC - Chat client App Reviews

Developer is really helpful and avaliable in IRC.

Having used Linkinus, LimeChat, and many other OS X IRC clients, this one is by far the best one. Subtle colouring, integrated full-screen support for Lion (and no crashing!), and ease of use makes this my favorite IRC client. Even though there are no preference to set, you really dont need to set any - it has everything you need out of the box for basic IRC uses.

please add prefrences to change some options and add support for growl. otherwise a nice looking app.

This is about the prettiest, most Mac like IRC client I have used. However it doesnt have basic keybindings such as Command-Q for quit etc... and it crashes too often for a chat client. If you leave it running for a day, and come back it will be locked.

The UI is cleaner that Linkinus. However, there are no preferences at all :( Additionally it does not support SSL IRC connections. For a version 2.x product I would think you would at least be able to change the colors and fonts!

not working. what this?

Its nice that this app now has SSL support, but where are the preferences? Its still my current IRC client, as its the only one Ive found with support for full screen in Lion.

EVERY time I try to search a new server, it crashes. 100% useless garbage.

I bought this thinking that this will provide search functionality. But it crashed every time I tried to search something. Couldnt recommand this for anyone. Limechat is way better than this. Is there a way to get back my money?

I just bought this application, and it is a total waste of money, when you try and just add a server it pops up a a GIANT text box, where everything except the left side of the ok button is visible. In other words, you cannot even enter the server to connect to. And then 30 seconds later it crashes. This is both on a 13" rMBP and a 15" rMBP.. Dont waste your money on this, even though it is not that much.

Though it definitely has some short comings ( I cant figure out how to copy a line out of a chat ), configuration is easy, and options are plentiful. Auto authentication against servers like FreeNode is nice too.

Heres my suggestions: - Allow me to send chanserv commands on login somehow. - Move the textfield for a given channel to the bottom. Its really weird with it up at the top. - If youre in search with some text in there, and go somewhere else in the app theres some weird FirstResponder problems, namely that it wont change. - Add some color configurations. The default colors are a little hard to discern from one another. ie: id bold user names first off. Love the overall design though.

and trying to add a server , the drop down fields for adding the server are too large to access and and the server. then the program crashes after trying to close. Needs to have its preferences checked within the app for default sizes of menu items and windows. And test toroughly with the newest osx version. Other than that Im sure it would be a good app if it would work.

The layout of this app was broken from the beginning. It is completely unusable. I want my money back - what a waste!

Using Mac OS 10.6.8, Mango quits out as soon as I attempt to join any server, so I cannot recommend it

I’m unable to join any server because the form by which I would do so is almost totally hidden from view.

Broken app. Just see a giant box (that is non-responsive) when I try to join/add a server. What a waste of money. Do NOT buy this.

This is unusable. That’s a shame, too, since it appears to be the ONLY IRC client left in the App store. I use Linkinus on other Macs and it works fine. Wish I could buy that one.

OMG!!! When I started this app up all I had was super-massively large fonts for everything! When I went to the menu to try to shrink the font size down I discovered it was already set to "Smallest" and changing it to another (hoping it was backwards) only made the font even larger. I had to maximize it on my 22 inch monitor just to be able to see the host configuration window. Epic fail just based on font size - Im not going to use one large monitor for this window.
