### 5/5 — excellent utility

*2022-10-02*

Thank you for making this app-it's great!

### 5/5 — Top

*2021-02-07, version 4.3*

1A SSH Tool

### 4/5 — Very good telnet app for a tablet device

*2018-11-18*

It does everything I need, but is difficult and confusing to use on a tablet device. A keyboard is necessary to get full use out of it.

### 2/5 — Costly upgrade!

*2018-11-17, version 3.9*

Be warned .... if you upgrade it appears that you’ll have to enter all your settings again!  What a pain!  I had expected that the program would at least have provided an Import facility.  Have contacted the developer to see whether I might have missed something.  So much unneeded extra work after paying quite a high price (for an iPad app.).  Would love to give this a higher rating.

### 1/5 — 为什么界面无法滚动？无法向上查看输出界面

*2016-11-09*

黑色窗口界面是无法向上滚动的

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2015-11-24*

Intuitive

### 1/5 — 2.9 fixes the bugs introduced in 2.8

*2015-10-02, version 2.9*

With 2.9, the app is once again the best Telnet VT emulator for IOS.

### 1/5 — Fix it!!!

*2015-09-18*

New update messed up the app badly!!!! When you trying to put in the driver number and password, its blank! I don't see the numbers at all. It all looks white. And there is even more bugs. Thats the most important app I use on my phone daily and now its totally useless!

### 5/5 — Excellent tool

*2015-02-21, version 2.7*

The best ever. Try it. You will love it.

### 5/5 — 好东西

*2015-02-14*

非常好用，功能非常强大
