Works perfectly

Had my company's iT guy set it up and it does everything its supposed to. I love the camera being used as a barcode scanner. Since this is the lite version you are missing keys, which i need those keys to do 85% of the programs on my system.
So I will be buying the full version soon

Function keys

It's a fine program until you need an F2 key

Works great

Gets the job done!

Where is the Page/Down....???

I got crazy looking for page Down/Up...... And nothing...!!!! $30 is way too much......

Not a working option

Do not expect this to work, the keyboard is useless even if you attach a separate keyboard because there is no mapping of the keys, Simple functions like page up and page down are missing from the keyboard and no function keys are accepted unless you touch the highlights on the screen. I tried the MAC Bluetooth keyboard and none of the short cuts worked. Contacted support and they confirmed even the paid version does not support the shortcuts..

I was going to purchase the paid option if it allowed key mapping etc but apparently it does not.

Need to find an alternative.

Lifesaver!

It's Mocha on-the-go it's a lifesaver.

The trial is a bit handicap, because Mocha's normal trials are 30 day "fuller" versions but the app store doesn't allow time-based demos. $30 is their normal "handheld" price for all the other platforms, less Apple's cut.

This thing is worth it's money the first time you get called for support while shopping for groceries, or at 2am. Command line + phone = hours of saved time.

Crazy price

Works great for what I very occasionally need, though this lite version lacks function keys and (more importantly) page-down/page-up. I'd pay $10 to have that convenience, but $30 for an app I'd very rarely use is too much to swallow.

The Full version is WAY too expensive

The free version does not include the Function keys on the keyboard and the FULL version is $30.00 Will not pay $30.00 to evaluate a product that has such a limited lite version.

LITE is not quite...

This version is fully functional but if you can work your iSeries (AS/400, Power server with IBM i, whatever you want to call it) without Attn, page up and page down then this is all you need. Other folks will need the paid version (or, possibly, an external keyboard but the app is cheaper!)
The quality and ease of use of this app have convinced me that Mochasoft know 5250 though so the paid app is a lot less of a gamble. Job done?

It Works

Testing the lite version - it works just fine. I do not have a problem with having to pay for the full product - thats the way it should be.

My only gripe is the layout - an option to shrink the screen and have the keyboard appear would be nice, but I suppose there is no issue with an external keyboard.

Overall this is a much welcome product and I will be buying the full version for all of our iPads.
