My First SSH terminal

So far so good. Quite happy with it. Thank you to the authors

Complet et efficace

Bonjour, j'utilise votre appli depuis environ 3 ans je la trouve complète et pratique à utiliser. Cependant depuis quelques mois je ne parviens plus à faire appel à mes flux de travails personnels dan un terminal. Je ne sais pas si c'est volontaire d'avoir retiré la fonction mais je trouvais cela bien pratique.

Well, I’ll be.

I’ve used several terminal emulators in iOS and this is easily the best one! My new favorite, hands down.

One of the best SSH clients on iOS, file feature would be killed but doesn’t work

I’ve tried many ssh clients for iOS. I used iTerminal for a while and Prompt for years.
The keyboard is just better with LaTerminal
Their home grown session keep alive technology is nice; though it stopped working well, perhaps because my Ubuntu version is in extended support

The real killer feature was supposed to be files, but it never works correctly. I try to upload pictures to a server and 99 times out of 100 they come out corrupt

Even within the app, you can browse files, but if you as much as go to antihero app and come back, the connection silently dies and the app doesn’t realize, but starts showing all folders as empty. Really disappointing
Support is non existent, even as a paid user. Apparently there used to be a feedback part in the app, but it was replaced with some AI page or something

Despite all of that, I’m not using a prompt anymore and am still using this, it’s that slick

The best terminal

I’ve tried as many iOS terminal emulators as I could and this one is the best I have seen.

issue at ipad os 26. (Korean Language de-compositions)

Korean language is de-compsed, at iPad OS 26. and cannot use. also, no Character support for 2character-wide support. font or some. :(

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting this. We have confirmed that this issue is affecting how some languages, as well as Emoji, are rendering. We are working on an update to correct this. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused, and I appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Bad translation. No lang switch.

I don't know what I'm pressing at.
Please add English option.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to point this out. La Terminal does not include an in-app language switch, but it does respect the Preferred Language setting in the iOS Settings app. If you open Settings, search for La Terminal, and set the Preferred Language to English, the app will follow that choice. We are also working on improving our translations so that the experience is clearer for all supported languages. I am sorry for the confusion this caused and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

wow

this is truly an amazing app

Very broken

None of the tutorials work, half of the settings buttons don’t seem to do anything. No easy way to change the text size (would expect cmd +/cmd -. Also, double-clicking does a paste. I accidentally paste my clipboard into random files all the time and don’t know I did it until later, after I’ve quit my editor (vim) and there’s no longer an undo buffer. I wish there was a great terminal for vision pro, but this isn’t it.

Does exactly what it says it does

Can't fault it, excellent!

Magnificent!

If you’re reading these comments to see if this app does what you want, trust me it does lol. The hunt is finally over

La Amazing 🔥

Wow, wow, wow … trying to switch from Prompt 3 …
Already in “Pro state”
Amazing!

SSH to raspberry pi

Quite good.

Nice UI with stability and usability problems

Could have been a really nice app, the UI is great, but the app crashes reproducible on iOS 18.1. If I try to load a SSH key from file it crashes. On the sessions page the keyboard will not hide and I can no longer reach the Tab bar. As of now, usability is limited.

Very usable!

I love that La Terminal includes a Nerd font so I can have neovim display icons, and the SFTP server actually works to my surprise. I was sure it would require some specialist faff to setup on the remote; but nope it just works!

The only issue I’m having is related to mouse reporting: it seems to have good support for it, but on VisionOS it’s not very easy to control. I cannot find an option to disable mouse reporting.

I also wish I could change the font, but honestly I’ve no idea how to install a new font on VisionOS anyway.

I’ve been using it for many hours to do some development on a remote system with tmux + nvim, using Nerd Font icons, 24bit colour, and (unintentional) mouse reporting. I’ve bought myself a lifetime Pro license because this is perhaps the only app which makes my VisionPro into a productivity device!

My most used app on Vision Pro

La Terminal and Apple Vision Pro brought back joy and fun to Development of Software for me.
I use la Terminal to run nvim and develop backend software using swift/hummingbird.
I fell in love with sixel in combination with PlantUML: That‘s so much fun!
Maintanance of Virtual Servers can be quickly done in any Situation of life using the iPad.
I celebrate this app.

Pad und Vision Pro

Benutze es zum Arbeiten via Pad (Hauptsächlich Update von Linux-Instanzen) und Vision Pro (mit nvim zum Entwickeln von Software: Swift, c++ und Vue) - tut, was zuverlässig, was es soll. Hält mehrere Verbindungen offen, so gut das geht. Sonderzeichen auf der Tastatur ist gut umgesetzt, man merkt, dass die Entwickler der App wissen, auf welche Probleme man bei der Nutzung stößt.
Hatte auch schon Kontakt zum Team, um nach Features zu fragen - stellte sich heraus, dass das schon umgesetzt war und ich es nur nicht gefunden hatte. Kontakt war hilfreich und zügig.

Awesome

Tasteful, feature rich terminal for iOS

Good support

Agent forwarding had a bug, I contacted support and they rapidly fixed it.

It’s nice, but quite laggy

This would be amazing if latency were reduced significantly, I tried using Neovim through it, but it was quite a bit too laggy. It’d also be amazing if scrolling could be made to work with Neovim. Scrolling works in the terminal, but for some reason with Neovim, it just acts like the mouse is clicked and starts highlighting text to yank.
