Ratings and Reviews
Irritating bug
Since the latest update if I have a friend listed who I have previously chatted to, even if they are online their name is greyed out. I have to rely on searching the room to find them, then deleting them from my colloquy list and sending a fresh query. Particularly annoying if they aren't in a room since I have no way to know if they are online or not! Please fix this useful feature.
And also... If I send a direct message to someone, even if they are online, I get a 'user is not connected' message. The only way I can send a direct message is to tap someone's name in the room members list. Not much good unless I know which room they are in!
And more problems... Checking info on any user doesn't tell you which room they are in and doesn't give an accurate 'idle' time. And if they log off they appear still online in the room list and in the app's private chat list.
Are you working on these bugs??
Used to be great.
Been using colloquy for years, and it used to be great, but the lack of recent updates is becoming a real problem. Under iOS 13 the app is largely broken with constant disconnections and UI glitches. I’ve been hoping for an update that fixes these issues for months, so I think it may be time to look at something else.
Progressively buggin me
Used this on my Mac then iPad for years, but it’s getting more buggy now. Failure to connect to servers, crashes... it doesn’t even stay connected in the ‘background’!
Time to search for something reliable, regularly updated and actually does the job.
