Leave a Review iTerminal Pro
Does not support secure SSH keys!
It’s 2024… RSA SHA-1 keys are deemed relatively insecure and are not accepted by default in modern OpenSSH installations such as are found on Linux and MacOS.
But iTerminal does not support anything except RSA SHA-1… yet the (completely free) app Termius does, as do other paid apps like Prompt 3, Shelly, etc.
I have emailed the developers to ask if they can provide support for RSA SHA2 and ED25519, but honestly… Termius is a nicer-looking app anyway, so I will likely just stick with that.Show lessPoor SSH Implementation, Weird UI behaviour
This app looks good on first glance but it’s shortcomings become annoying in a hurry. The app seems very limited in it’s key exchange abilities. I deal with hundreds of different servers in my work and would love this app if it worked seamlessly with all of them. Lots oF key exchange errors for no apparent reason. Poor support for the later versions of ssh (7).
The UI has some quirks that puzzle me. As a professional programmer since 1978, I have seen many products like this over the decades that fail because of one or two quirks that you just can’t work around. The first and most obvious quirk is that there is no way to have the whole screen for terminal window with the keyboard enabled. The app puts an annoying button bar across the bottom of the screen whenever the keyboard is enabled. This “feature” take up 3 text lines at the bottom which means that your command prompt is hidden behind the button bar and therefore invisible (a unix showstopper).
Further, the terminal seems to have some screen formatting issues. As an example: executing a simple ‘’top” command to Debian 12 displays a fractured and segmented output that makes the screen very difficult to read. Other UNIX utilities display incorrectly as well but some display correctly.
If if this is the developers idea of a well implemented terminal client then they should go back and study product testing before they release this “computer club” attempt to produce a real product. Very disappointed overall. Would not recommend this app to anyone whoo has to use it to get real work done. SorryShow lessI love this ssh client
It is beautiful and elegant. I am hoping it is still under development I have a few suggestions
