This is a god-send app.
Thank you so much for developing such an amazing app. I love it.
Wow!
I know this app isn’t for everyone but, if you have an iOS device and you “dial up” retro BBSes, you need MuffinTerm. The iCloud sync of the directory between iOS and macOS is a very nice touch.
Using the swipe keyboard to post on a vintage 1980s BBS is wild! I only wish the “two spaces period and automatic capitalization of the next word” worked in MuffinTerm. That’s a very small complaint though.
I heard about this from another BBS user who mentioned it. I’m surprised someone wrote such a great app for a niche like accessing vintage BBSes, but I’m so glad they did.
If there was a paid version, I would’ve been happy to pay.

The best Mac product for BBSing
Admittedly, it's a niche product but it fills this niche perfectly. Having an iOS version as well is an added bonus. Accessing the BBSes I use from my iPhone was wild.
The sticky notes are a nice touch for saving your login credentials since I didn't see any macro capability. Obviously, that's not safe for modern credentials but you shouldn't have the same credentials on a 1980s BBS as you have for your bank. :)
Adding ATASCII was much appreciated since I call Atari BBSes. I like the fact that it feels like a Mac app. Hopefully, it will be kept up to date as Apple inevitably changes things.

Brilliant!
The quality and attention to detail is amazing. Hard to replicate, the atascii emulation is second to none I have ever seen. As close to real hardware as you can get with outstanding iPhone iPad and Mac OSX usability but feels like a retro term program. Outstanding!!
Perfect app for BBS’ing.
Use this app daily for Petscii and ANSI BBS’s.
exactly what i needed
iPad has never had a good PETSCII CG terminal emulator until now. this app is perfect for calling old-school retro BBSs. there are some great features including a scroll-back buffer and file transfers. however, there are a couple of bugs. for instance, caps don’t seem to work on some calls and the screen size can get wonky. but that isn’t enough of a problem to knock a star off of the review. go ahead and grab this app and start calling your favorite Commodore 64 bulletin board systems today!

Perfect
If this app suddenly cost $20, I would pay it.
It supports ZMODEM! Remember ZMODEM?

Great program
Finally a developer i would not mind paying for their work. Good to see old fashioned ingenuity.
Excellent nostalgia, missing some features for practical use
The visuals perfectly match my memories of the BBS era, far better than any other app I've seen. However MuffinTerm is missing some features, preventing me switching to it. It doesn't seem to stay connected in the background for more than about a minute, whereas similar apps can stay connected much longer. Many services have moved to the Internet, and MuffinTerm offers TCP connections. It doesn't support SSL / TLS connections, so it's lacking the security demanded by the modern Internet.
