Description Chatting with the whole world has never been so easy. Just start Rooms and you’re 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.

Main Features:

• Chat with friends or other people all over the world in different chatrooms or just tap someones nickname to go to private chat
