So, lately I have been finding so many of my DB activities being done from my phone and further from my laptop (like this message in fact) that I recently have been exploring IRC apps for my phone (I own an iPhone) and wanted to inquiry on others what they have found:
Anyone regularly use mobile apps for IRC? What are the pros and cons in what you use; and mostly importantly how long can you be logged in the background and is your app free or paid?
Thanks

Limechat works pretty well from me. I'm able to join the standard channels, can even do passworded ones, as well as start up individual chats. $5 from the Apple AppStore if I remember right.
I'd recommend it.

I haven't used Limechat on my iPad in a few years, but Ill second the recommendation. I would be on for a few hours, don't ever remember being booted off, the only downer was that you couldn't save logs. So I took snapshots of whatever I wanted to save. However, that may have been rectified.

yaaic is my applet of choice to use on a blackberry or android phone. Easy connectivity, runs in background seamlessly, no limits.

I have heard good things about Colloquy. I'm not an iPhone guy (damn those screens are small!) so can't vouch for it personally.

hmm:
As some of you are aware, I am writing specialised courses on IRC for windows/mac/android/iOS. I was wondering if you lot wanted to help by listing the programs you think we need to add to these courses:
Windows: mIRC, HexChat, ...
Mac: Colloquy, ...
iOS: Xchat Aqua, ...
Android: AndroIRC, YAAIC*, ...
If you know a program that is not on the list but, in your opinion should be... Let me know via email, IRC, this forum or put your message in a coconut and send it by swallow...
Same if you think an option should not be on here.
