This is an Android Weechat Relay client. It is currently in beta status, with most things working. I use it daily without issue.
This requires weechat to be running somewhere and it connects to it. It is not a standalone weechat for your phone. If you are looking for a standalone irc client for android, you will need to look elsewhere.
Weechat Android is available in the major app stores for Android.
Either scan the QR code, or download it from the Google Play Store.
Sometimes we make beta versions available in the google play store. These versions may be much more unstable, but are typically more up to date than the released version in the play store. To participate, you need to do two things:
- Join this google+ community: https://plus.google.com/communities/102731380310451490082
- Follow this link to "Become A Tester": https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ubergeek42.WeechatAndroid
Once you've done that if you install weechat-android from the play store you'll get the latest beta version. If you already have the app installed your device will update to the latest beta version.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can try the latest development version. This is built after every commit, and while we try to keep a working build, it may fail or have major bugs. Use at your own risk.

- Translation: If you would like to help translating this app, all of the strings are in weechat-android/res/values/strings.xml; and there aren't a terribly large number of them.
