No judgment but I don’t have the time or £¥₽¢€₩ to waste on gambling ### 2/5 — Not awesome *2025-07-20, version 5.2.2* I used to use iSH, but that dev just gave up the ghost at some point and decided they DGAF anymore, so we’re all just out of luck. So I picked up this, thinking perhaps it would be my salvation for all my broken workflows… Who makes a terminal that lacks the regular term keys that one needs? Where are the tab, ctrl, alt, Function keys, etc.? This app may have ssh, which makes it one star better than what I have rated iSH, but if I can’t do the other term-y things that I need to do, this is unfortunately no good to me. ### 4/5 — Shush you are the one who doesn’t want me going The I was thinking *2023-08-10, version 5.2.2* I have to go to work now and I cannot is your time of I uI life I just got to be a ### 4/5 — Странно. *2023-07-09* Отсутствует команда trace.

Does everything as expected. Thank you to the programmer. ### 3/5 — Compare to termux.0.118.0 on android.7.1.1 *2022-08-24, version 5.2.2* LibTerm version 5.2.2 (1), May 1, 2020 at 9:36 AM from App Store. Apple iPad (7th) iOS 13.1.1 Darwin kernel 19.0.0 root:xnu-6153 _ARM64_ Uses only version 7.0 of clang, currently I have termux at clang-14 and 16.0 ... Compiled some C files, but noticed target llvm. Used tar xzf, installed (Ipad $ package install systeminfo, sleep), and cmdguide, gitdl would not install. LibTerm 1.5 from nov-2018 on GitHub? Aug 23, 2022 - Tuesday ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 400+ MB App size *2024-11-29, version 5.2.2* 400+ MB Size can be Justifiable and Acceptable if it was an Operating System but not an App !!! ### 1/5 — ABANDONED *2023-02-23, version 5.2.2* Can’t even do simple ssh on iOS 16 ### 1/5 — 2030 اذكروني بدعوه *2022-01-28, version 5.2.2* الاشياء المقرمشة تطلع صوت اكثر من الاشياء العاديه ### 1/5 — Dead App Should be Removed *2021-08-11, version 5.2.2* You will notice the last update was over a year ago. In my case its been two years ago. I went to GITHUB where you’re supposed to be able to contact the developer. Sent 3 emails with no response. Don’t try and use the app, after I installed it, I noticed “iPhoneOS sdk” was some how installed. I couldn’t use it because my phone is not jail broken (I think). I have no tools to determine this, but just having this application on my phone could provide hackers who do know how to access your phone and use it is a big concern. I’m not sure if the developer even exists anymore. GitHub should ensure developers haven’t left their site, leaving everyone who downloads something from the AppStore hanging without away to report problems. DON’T BOTHER TRYING TO USE THIS ### 1/5 — SSH is broken *2021-02-19, version 5.2.2* SSH complains about keys when the remote machine does not require key auth. ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-11-13, version 5.2.2* Bad ### 1/5 — k. *2020-10-11, version 5.2.2* no vim. vi. nano. no way to edit a text file. a terminal program without bare bottom essentials? ive often downloaded this because its a good idea. but after 5 min i often ask why this exists. it doesnt actually work. theres no commands. no usability. i wanted it to work but the fact is what the fact is. this isnt a terminal on iphone. it just isnt. its a black box with a few specific commands and well. thats it. its not linux. osx. or even usable. really? no basic text editors? they are drag and drop open source... ### 1/5 — This app looks like amazing but!! *2020-09-07, version 5.2.2* Please add back black theme and please this app so weird i don’t know how to add tools into this app and use and theres no any video and info in youtobe and google i need to know this app better by share your info in youtobe and google or give info in app you are all have to do this and please make the app easy for use thanks ### 1/5 — السلام عليكم *2020-07-29, version 5.2.2* لا يمكنني ان افعل اي شيء ### 1/5 — Limited feature set *2020-07-27, version 5.2.2* No man pages, ssh is difficult to use, very limited subset of commands. Do not recommend. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2025-11-02* Feeling rebellious? Wanna control all your iCloud files & folders via a uni-colored CLI (Command Line Interface)? Go ahead, LibTerm got you covered. Also great for learning basics of Python. ### 5/5 — Cd! *2024-02-26* Cd居然没有 ### 5/5 — Basic UNIX command line utilities *2024-01-17* At last, a command line for iphone. Gives me the basics: nslookup, ping, etc. I no longer have to log into a unix box to run simple commands. LOVE IT! ### 5/5 — Хороший шелл XNU *2023-11-20* Сейчас обьясню: это вам не Linux, это XNU-шелл (как терминал на MacOS), оно пробрасывает псевдо-терминал подсистемы XNU в окно в приложении. ### 5/5 — Very cool idea to make *2023-07-31* The only way I could ### 5/5 — Good luck with your new *2023-07-19* I’m not sure if we can ### 5/5 — For the next two weeks I am *2023-06-27* I’m not going back to the office ### 5/5 — How about the one we can *2023-06-27* I have a few new ones ### 5/5 — Can I have the office now *2023-06-27* I’m not sure what to say but ### 5/5 — How about the baby baby today *2023-06-27* We can get together and have --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
