## What is Get Console?

Get Console is a powerful and complete terminal app that provides physical serial console access to network and other equipment as well as SSHv2, Telnet, Scripting, TFTP Server, full Logging, integration with Dropbox, iCloud and instant Screen Sharing. Please read below for Full information.

Features:

- Serial Connectivity: Use our Airconsole (Serial over Wifi or Bluetooth Low Energy), or Redpark L2-RJ45 and L2-RJ45V physical cables to provide direct Serial Console port access to supported equipment (Adapt L2-RJ45 Cable to DB9, DEX or DB25 with adaptors available at www.get-console.com)

- Full Terminal: Also provides Telnet and SSH(v2) terminal (over Wifi or 3G). VT100 emulation. Supports password authentication, generate or import SSH Keys easily via clipboard

- Multi Session: run concurrent Serial, SSH and Telnet sessions in tabs, and cut/paste between sessions. Each session runs independently and can be backgrounded.

Many Many Advanced Terminal Features:
- Powerful Scripting of terminal sessions allows for automation of many common terminal tasks, including auto-responding to terminal output and auto-upload of log files.

- Easily share your iPad/iPhones terminal window with remote web users to provide remote access to your console sessions - useful for remote support, teaching or for Disaster Recovery 

- Connection Manager for organizing Serial / Telnet / SSH saved sessions which can be imported/exported via iTunes

### 3/5 — Needs updates

*2023-12-01, version 2.52*

Its a very solid telnet app and it has RAW telnet which the only app I’ve seen that has that option but it really needs an UI update and some other minor updates

### 1/5 — Not working on my device

*2023-03-03, version 2.52*

New iPhone 15 Pro Max but the screen does not show correctly on the device options are above usable edges of the top and bottom of screen realty.  Connection to demo or private server is not working.  I have tried everything to no avail.

### 5/5 — Best free ssh client

*2022-06-03, version 2.52*

I don’t do command line from my iPhone much so I cannot speak to that aspect but for testing a connection to my pi over the internet this was free and easy. I was able to easily scroll through the terminal and navigate through folders.

### 1/5 — Parts of the app are broken

*2022-06-03, version 2.52*

This doesn’t seem to be maintained. Using the easy share function crashes the app. The original promise the app was supposed to deliver has been removed.

### 2/5 — Abandoned?

*2021-11-10, version 2.52*

Looks like the product has been abandoned by the developer. No updates, software doesn’t work well on iOS in new versions.  

Sucks because they worked well when they were being maintained.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2021-04-09, version 2.52*

I have used this app for years.  Now on a newer iPad, the app fails to connect to the Blue Tooth Serial adapter.  Just purchased the “Pro XL” kit, Waste of money.  App now crashes repeatedly when attempting to connect.

### 4/5 — Works great!

*2020-12-05, version 2.52*

It has a lot of features and settings can be a bit of a challenge but it works great and does everything I need it to do. 
Some of the settings are in black font on dark gray background making them hard to read. 

The Send Feedback feature in settings sends email to a nonexistent email address.

### 1/5 — Needs to be fixed

*2020-09-29, version 2.52*

I’ve been using Get Console for years, I don’t know what they did with the last version but now it crashes as I type anything into it. Incidentally the connection manager and Sync has been broken for a long time on all my devices but I kept using it because I need a terminal emulator on my phone and iPad, now I can’t get 20 seconds into using the app because it crashes

### 4/5 — Not notch compatible, but great besides.

*2020-08-24, version 2.50.1*

Been using this for years with my tablet and the Airconsole LE. Wanted to try with my iPhone 11 and wasn’t able to switch to Full terminal. Need to move that ui button away from the notch.

### 1/5 — Keyboard support lacking, display config baffling

*2020-07-31, version 2.50.1*

Big fail on using the "control" button on a standard Apple Keypad. Just whiffs. Super disappointing.
Configuring display and scrolling just doesn't make sense. It doesn't seem to change the amount of text displayed on your screen, it may identify to your host device differently but it's not as useful as it could be.

All in all a disappointment compare to the positive reviews this app gets online.
