Needs updates

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

Not working on my device

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.

Best free ssh client

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.

Parts of the app are broken

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.

Abandoned?

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.

No longer works

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.

Works great!

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.

Needs to be fixed

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

Not notch compatible, but great besides.

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.

Keyboard support lacking, display config baffling

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.

Great! just a few bugs

I’ve tried literally every SHH/Telnet app I could find on the App Store and so far ‘Get Console’ is by far the only one that works properly with my CNC Screens. I love and praise it.

However there are a few bugs I wish to report.
- the saved connections section doesn’t properly delete connections I want to delete.
- app crashes when I delete multiple times

Cant see cursor!!!!!! There isnt one! Why???? How it is possible edit your commands ?

Ridiculous, keyboard is good though, but makes it unusable without cursor being visible in terminal!!!

Terminal client crashes on large buffers with iPhone 11

The device seems to work well, iPad and Pc/MacBook have 0 issues, but my iPhone 11 Pro Max, crashes on any show interface description of a 48port switch. Seems any large buffer command, kills it on the iPhone 11. This makes the app unusable, as I can’t do the above command, show log, show version, etc.

Please update and fix!

So very much potential to be a FANTASTIC terminal app, but isn't updated for iPhone X, and crashes randomly. I lost all of my saved sessions and any time I hit the share button from a live session, the app crashes completely. Please update. It's a PITA to even use the app with the Air Console...

Potential

Tons of potential, but the terminal itself needs some work.

Works Flawlessly!

I am a network engineer and have had a hell of a time finding things that work with iOS and my Macbook Pro. While I have not tried this with my macbook- it has always worked flawlessly on my iphone XS Max and my previous X. I use it with the console cable and can do what I need to do seamlessly without having to pull out my laptop. I rarely write reviews, but this was deserving in my opinion. Keep up the great work Devs! Thank you!

App closes on every use

Have been unable to use the app don’t know if it’s because of the iOS update or the program itself, App will open up just fine but whatever connected and receiving information into the application I am unable to do anything after that cannot copy and paste cannot use file manager without the app closing, And unable to get tech-support have received one reply from them have not heard anything since then.

No go on iPad Pro 2018 12.9

App opens up into full screen few. Button to get the menu is hidden so that no connection can be made.

Can’t switch to terminal

The switch to full terminal button is under the notch on the Xs and I can’t tap it even with reachability. Please fix.

Doesn’t work on iPhone X.

App opens up but will only work with a console cable. Button to switch to full terminal doesn’t work.
