  • Very handy!

    Just what I wanted, a way to trigger shell scripts with a single button press that looks/feels more like a remote. I have three separate iTunes libraries and a shell script that starts up each one. Now I have three buttons, one for each library, plus a fourth to shut iTunes down. All from the living room where the stereo is.

    I do wish I had more control over the sequence of the buttons and the overall color scheme, but it works well. I like the ability to group buttons together in a submenu to keep related actions together and reduce main window clutter. It's also nice being able to define individually which buttons should show the results and which should be silent.

    It does help if you're comfortable with using the command line and shell scripting.

    Now if only Apple would let us define custom icons on the home page that could trigger this app with a specific action it would be perfect!

  • Brilliant ssh app

    Truly the best app for ssh on iOS! All the others seem bland and mundane this makes my life as an administrator so much easier! I'd highly recommend to anyone after a better quality ssh client :)
  • Can't even use vim

    This is my first 1 star review.

    The app can't even use VIM/top etc... don't waste your money on this
  • Crashed on top command

    Connected to host, brought up top and keyboard became unusable. Screen also would not scale vertically for terminal size or refresh. Does not work with on demand VPN either.
  • Lightweight and useful

    Although you can use a regular command prompt with this app, its main advantage is as a store of useful commands (which you can add to).

    I found it very easy to get going with this, the pre-loaded commands are useful and it is a quick alternative to having to look up and type in a command.
  • Fantastic

    I love being able to press a button to kick off a script! This will make my Raspberry Pi a lot more fun. Definitely worth $2! And that is why I give it 5 stars. Would like to see more color options. It is difficult to edit a file. Freezes with "vi". But, I mostly wanted the ability to kick off processes and check logs, status, etc. And that's exactly what this does. I love it.
    Also, I'm using an iPhone 4s and it's working fine so far.

  • Reliable...Simply the best

    Reliable, easy to use, worth $2
  • good ssh client, but ... not perfect

    Hope there's option for me to change the font color & size. It's so hard for me to read in blue in such small size.

    hope scripts snippets/ ssh key could be sync using iCloud/Dropbox.
  • Perfect

    When I'm relying on my phone for information, I need it fast. This app is the bridge between me and the information I need from my servers at a moments notice. You can't put a price on that kind of product.
  • Can't even reboot a RPi.

    Simple sudo reboot command won't even reboot an RPi. Useless if it can't do the main commands.
