Despite the developer tweeting in late 2012 that Linkinus was still under active development,[10] it has not seen any updates since April 2012.
Linkinus for iOS
The iOS versions have features similar to those of the Mac version,[11] with a few exceptions such as themes and plugins.[12] Some users are unhappy about the lack of these features, and the number of bugs in it.[13] Users praise its well-designed interface,[14] although some criticize its high price.[15]
Critical reception
Reviewers praise Linkinus' ease of use,[16] and its clean user interface.[17] Some reviewers, however, say that the user interface could be improved. For example, a lot of functions are duplicated in menus and buttons, resulting in a cluttered interface.[18] While reviewers praise its advanced features,[19] they also complain that some of these features are difficult to access, such as searching for servers and channels.[20] In comparisons with similar IRC clients available for Mac, most reviewers agree that Linkinus has more features,[21] but are dismayed by the fact that unlike most other IRC clients, Linkinus is not free.[22]
