### 1/5 — X client launch is not working at all.

*2025-04-17*

X client launch is not working at all. I can launch an X client outside of this app and display it in this app, but when I launch an X client from this app, I can't connect to this app at all. Junk app.

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2024-11-22*

It closes after 5 minutes. You can’t really evaluate because of this so, I won’t be purchasing.

### 1/5 — iOS 18 doesn’t connect

*2024-11-20*

Unfortunately while it works on iPad iOS 17.x it says ‘cannot connect’ on iPhone. I needed to use it on iPhone

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2024-07-25*

keyboard doesn’t work.  awful UX

### 5/5 — good x server for ipad

*2023-05-14*

I use this to connect from ipad to macos. After setting up a client to start xterm, I can connect and run any X11 client program on the mac and can see and use it from the ipad. Very slick, easy to set up, no problems so far at all, plan to buy the real version next.

Just saw an update, many thanks for continuing to maintain this app.

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2022-07-21*

I can do X11 forwarding from my Linux box with this. What more could I want?

### 5/5 — works like a charme

*2022-05-09*

would be even greater if ssh allows for key authentication.

### 1/5 — Useless cannot connect

*2022-04-24*

I do x forwarding across many machines. This program cannot connect to any Linux server

**Developer response:** best guess is your server does not allow ssh user/password validation as sign on.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-02-27*

This app closes after 5 minutes. Yes that is right the app is intentionally broken   It asks you to buy the $30 paid version. But in only 5 minutes I’m not able to do even a meaningful evaluation. Do not waste your time

### 1/5 — 不能用，It seems to not work

*2021-08-20*

Can not be use
