### 3/5 — More Content, Please!

*2010-12-02*

This will be a lot more useful when there are more than 9 commands listed. Please update!

### 1/5 — Broken again

*2012-02-14*

There are now 0 commands! I just downloaded it and started it. There is a blank page that says "0 commands" and indeed no amount of prodding and searching around the app has revealed any evidence that there are is any content at all. This appears to be a recent break, but for now there is no reason to bother with this app. There are no commands. Skip it until it is fixed.

### 1/5 — Waste of my hard earned money!!!

*2011-05-01*

App has only few basic commands and no updates so absolutely useless.

### 1/5 — not much use

*2011-04-17*

Really, how useful can a set of man pages be when it shows only 9 of the most common commands.

If you don't have the content yet, don't release it.

At least it was free.

### 1/5 — Useless with so few commands

*2011-02-19*

Few commands!  Don't know when will it update.

### 1/5 — Not much

*2010-11-24*

The program only gives info on 9 commands. The info was detailed but I don't think a program that explains the 9 most common commands is needed

### 2/5 — man pages for basic shell commands

*2011-05-28*

This app is merely the man pages for nine linux shell commands. (cat, cd, cp, ls, man, mkdir, mv, pwd, rm). If you have no idea at all what is meant by a linux shell, or terminal prompt, or command line, then you don't need to get this app. If you do know what those terms mean, you don't need to get this app. 

This app would be useful if there were a lot more commands in the listing.

### 2/5 — Well it's a place to start

*2011-05-14*

Only 9 commands? I look forward to seeing future updates.

### 2/5 — Glad I Didn

*2011-03-17*

I'm glad this app didn't cost me any more than a bit of time.  This "reference" has only a handful of very, very basic commands.  I can't imagine that anyone who has used Linux for more than a couple of days would find this in the least bit useful.

### 2/5 — Has great potential

*2010-11-25*

As stated in a previous comment, it only has 9 commands. I would to see this app expanded to include as many possible commands and a search feature. Great concept!!

### 3/5 — Missing lots of calls

*2012-12-04*

I couldn't find accept and other networking calls

## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — friggan helpful.

*2013-08-14*

i am a blind user and want to applaud this app for its accessibility with voiceover

### 5/5 — So many commands

*2012-06-24*

So much information!

### 5/5 — I be 'em!

*2012-04-06*

This App looks great, there are so many commands I never knew existed.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2012-01-15*

I love all the new content! Now that there are more commands this really is an awesome app. (I wish the update had come awhile ago) I use this app more than any others I've tried. Maybe I'll get the ad-free version...

### 5/5 — Really good

*2012-01-14*

This actually has more useful information then the other Linux reference app I paid for , I will probably end up getting the no ad version because I like the app

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2010-11-28*

Hey, that's useful tool. Will it contain some VI/VIM commands as well?

### 5/5 — Great Start

*2010-11-27*

For a guy that needs to know the basics this is great. Everyone gives some ideas what to add and we have a great technical app!

### 4/5 — Nice Reference

*2012-10-02*

All the Linux information you need. ~~~ When viewing in horizonal mode, on an iPad-2, the right side of the text is cut off.

### 4/5 — Good first version...

*2010-11-18*

But it needs more info.
