Rooms - Your iPhone IRC Chat Client Screenshots

Description

Chatting with the whole world has never been so easy. Just start Rooms and youre 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 isn't even a problem since the app also provides a preselected list of channels to start chatting right after you've 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.


Main Features:

What's New in Version 1.6

------------
Version 1.4
------------

-= iPad =-
Rooms for iPhone is now UNIVERSAL and so can run in all its glory on iPad too!
However, there’s an iPad only version of Rooms coming too – with many new features taking advantage of the iPads bigger screen.
So you can decide for yourself if it’s worth buying the iPad only version too.

-= Multitasking =-
Using an iPhone 3Gs or the new iPhone 4 you can now use the advantage of iOS4 Multitasking!
Whenever you need to use another application, just press the Home Button and leave Rooms while staying connected for a while in the background.

-= Some more handy features =-
The Chatroom quick-switch (double tap the chat room) was completely rewritten with some new features like:
• marking all badge infos as read
• direct access to the room informations
• sorting the chat rooms
• display the last chat text for every room entry

The room order handling was completely rewritten to let the user decide how quickly a room can be accessed by swipe/quick-switch
Rooms should now reliably save the current open chat room and get this one active again on restart/reconnect

-= And much more · See Changelog @ roomsapp.mobi =-
