Ok app, not maintained
Thephuz
iQuassel is an ok app, if all you ever need to do is check IRC when away from your computer. And when I say check, I mean just reading. Beyond that, it’s not particularly useful. Some major gripes about the app: - Not updates for iPhone X or newer layout, so the app is letterboxed like this is 2012 all over again. - No option for tab-completing of nicks, so if you need to respond to someone with a particularly unique nickname in an active channel, good luck with that. - No push notifications, which is fine, but the app doesn’t even seem to support showing any type of notifications in the app when you receive a ping. - As another reviewer mentioned, there is no updating of the last-read line, which can result in confusing “didn’t I already read this?!?” moments when you get back to your desktop computer. Quite frankly, if I had purchased this app today in 2019, I would request a refund. The only way I would recommend purchasing this app is if you absolutely needed a way to keep an eye on IRC and didn’t have any other method.
OpenSouce the code already

It’s nice to have an app in the App Store but the Android version is substantially well build looks like this app hasn’t been updated in years. Would be great if the community could contribute more to improve this app.
Useful, but needs more features for the price

I'm using the iPod touch version. It's nice to be able to use Quassel on my mobile device, but it's not very configurable. For instance, it has no highlighting support. You can't change the colors. There's no user list that I can find. For $7, it needs to do this and more. That being said, it's really useful. I like to be able to use Quassel on my mobile.
Simple and Great

Works as advertised; I've been waiting for iPhone support for the longest time and its finally here. I logged in and saw all my channels just fine. Like the description says, this app requires the Quassel core on a server.
Missing some functions

I could not figure out how to: close or delete a buffer; connect or disconnect an existing IRC server/network. Also it disconnects from my Quassel Core often. No lost data but it's annoying.
Needs a lot of work.

A bunch of missing features make this a disappointment especially compared to other mobile irc clients. Important but missing features: * No way to hide events like joined/parted/nick changed. These clutter up the chat buffers badly. * Doesn't connect or stay connected reliably. * No notifications when the app is in the background, rarely stays connected while in the background. I'm sure there are more but these are glaring deficiencies for a paid app such as this one.
Disappointing
Wstout
Several missing features. Constant reconnecting is necessary. Lack of tab complete (at least that I could find) is very frustrating. For the price should be much better.
Gets the job done, I guess

This app works, haven't had any crashes, but just doesn't meet the expectations in a client that supports quassel. Basically everything that makes quassel nice is missing. No lines to show where you were last reading, and doesn't update those lines on the desktop client, so there's a lot of unnecessary scrolling/reading when using them together. No ability to hide joins/quits etc, no blocking users, no auto fill for mentioning users (that I've seen). I feel these items are a must, especially on a smaller screen. Hopefully we'll see these features in a future release. But looks as if people have been asking for these things for a while, so who knows. Otherwise, if someone out there has the time and know how, I would love to see (buy) another take on a quassel client.
Passable, but only just

It only gets three stars as the only iOS quassel client. As already mentioned in other reviews, it misses some basic features that shouldn't be difficult to implement and would make a world of difference to usability.
