fail to connect

tried many time on my MacBook Air (m1) and iPad Air (iOS 17) and nothing to do, i'm alsways stalled there.. so, not working to me..

Nice, but abandoned

Nice quick status summary, but clearly abandoned and unmaintained by developer. Last update was 3 years ago as of start of 2024. Still, it works when it works, but in my case it only connects by IP. That is, it can’t find my servers by internal DNS name at the same time other apps on the same iPhone and same network work fine. But because abandoned, this won’t get fixed.

Easily one of the best apps

I don’t write reviews. But this app has come in handy so many times. Only thing I wish is the writer would make a Widget to put on MacOS that allowed for quick access to the pies I’m monitoring.

Não funciona Iphone 15

Depois que entra, adiciona um host, depois de conectado, clico no TERMINAL e o app encerra sozinho. Noniphone 11 funciona bem.

Good, needs updating

Works well with Bullseye on 4B and Zero 2W. Unable to connect with 12 Bookworm.

Very good app ~ works well

It was easy to get connected to my pi. It worked the first time unlike other apps that refuse to connect because of some obscure hidden setting somewhere. Don’t see an option to change text size in the TERM window, which would be great. Maybe it’s an option later or I can’t find it.

Security needs updating.

I use 4096 bit rsa ssh keys for all of my connections between devices. Trying to add a key in this app is a nightmare on an iPhone. Also it doesn’t seem to like rsa 4096 bit keys? I don’t get any errors, it just doesn’t connect.
I won’t be generating a different, potentially weaker set of keys just to use this app.
Add a key import function and add compatibility with later key formats please.

Great app

Has everything you could need to track your pi, one suggestion though. Could you please add a way to track it outside your local network

Used to be amazing

Stopped working a little while ago. Won’t connect to anything anymore.

Have deleted and reinstalled multiple times even paid for the ad-free version and it’s just not working anymore.

Hopefully this gets fixed. This was by far my favorite SSH and SFTP tool for any Linux machine.

Flawless

Perfect app. I used it for a while with just one Pi, and that worked perfectly. Recently bought a second one, and adding it and viewing both of the devices statistics has been unbelievable easy. A great little tool to check up on the devices while troubleshooting. Highly reccomend.
