Great little app

I use multiple odroid units and this app is perfect to quickly see if any nodes are offline. I’d suggest the polling loop for the cards showing cpu, disk, and memory usage is made async, as one unit being down noticeably delays the polling of the others. Other than that perfect as a simple monitoring tool - already paid to remove the ads due to its usefulness.

Truly Amazing

I downloaded it, I put in my Pi IP address on port 22 with user credentials and in less than two seconds it was giving me hardware stats. I then clicked on TERM and I had SSH access instantly.

This software is GOLD!

Great little app!

Simply laid out and fully featured. Surprised to also find a built-in terminal. There’s a lot packed into this little app. Intuitive.

Amazing app!

I love this app, so useful to SSH into my pic and check how it’s running. I would appreciate a feature that lets you change the temp to either Celsius or Fahrenheit. It also seems to crash when trying to access files via SFTP on retropie. Amazing app overall.

Simple, effective, convenient AF

Nice UI with NO BS and a great intuitive terminal for use on the phone, the gpio controller is a nice touch though I am not sure I will really need this and I did not test. Ftp is simple but gets the job done.

Would be great to have a way to have a quicklaunch or something for the web interface to whatever I may have on the webserver. If there was an octoprint integration It would be killer!!!

Nice UI and Works Well!

I was afraid this was going to be an app that just looked good and had either a ton of bugs or just didn’t work but that’s not the case here. The only things I can’t seem to get to work is the temperature monitor and the key authorization. I’m not sure why the keys don’t work but I’m assuming the temperature monitor doesn’t work because of some sort of missing package. Which if the latter is true I would love to know what I need to install to get it to work! Great app and plenty of future potential as well!

Couple of extra notes:
In the terminal, the extra bars above the keyboard block off the currently typing line
And the cpu percentage seems to use only the first cpu percentage on ‘top’ and not the whole line so it looks like a lot lighter load than what is actually happening

Perfect Pi App.

Stumbled upon this gem while searching for a way to ssh into my Pi 0 W in my car. What a great clean design and so nice to see all these features. Has not been updated for 5mo but I guess if there are no bugs it’s OK. Highly recommended.

EXCELLENT App - if you develop with Raspberry Pi you probably need this

Immediately useful! Wish I’d had this long ago. Let’s you monitor multiple Raspberry Pi - I’m currently running 4 RPi on different projects - and with a couple of taps you can access (SSH) and edit the program or transfer files to any of the monitored devices - ALL FROM AN IPAD! Quick, simple setup and has been very reliable. Real timesaver. Was happy to get the paid version if only to contribute to the developer’s effort. Highly recommend!!

Clean app

There’s no info on how to connect, but where it asks for port, just put in 0, it will tell you it’s invalid but will connect anyway. The app only shows you disk usage on the SD card, it would be nice if it also showed external storage as well. I’d also like to see a bandwidth monitor in there too. An alert when your pi’s temp gets too high, or if you start to run out of disk space or if it goes offline would make this a really useful app.
