Ugly UI
Prompt 3 used to look good and function well but overtime the team developing it has stopped putting in effort. Instead of embracing iPadOS UI elements, they have been avoiding them which is causing major usability issues. UI elements collide with traffic light window controls, something almost all other apps avoid. Top bar looks terrible as a “fix” but the fix is unreliable. I pay for this…
Developer charges a subscription for an app that doesn’t see major updates ever.

Glad there’s a lite mode
Downloaded, connected to a host. Ctrl key appeared pressed, even though it wasn’t. Tapping didn’t do anything. Eventually managed to disconnect. Left app, came back, now it crashes immediately every launch. Panic’s software is usually great, but this app needs more time in the lab.
Missed opportunity?
I used to use and love Prompt years ago, but for me, the only real differentiator in version 3 is the Vision Pro spatial environment (which is genuinely very cool).
Beyond that, I’ve run into several issues: I’m unable to connect to many servers that work perfectly with other SSH apps I use regularly, there’s no full Nerd Font installed by default, and in some cases tmux refuses to start, reporting that “the shell is not a terminal.” I had none of these problems with other terminal emulators. I was planning to contact the support, but honestly issues like these should not have been shipped in the first place, in a commercial product.
My daily driver is ShellFish, but even rootshell, which is 100% free, has none of the issues listed above.
Finally, I have read the support article explaining why Panic developed their own sync service, but I don’t feel like trusting it with the private keys for critical servers, especially since they could have just used iCloud Keychain.

Scroll jumping makes it unusable
Apparently there was some kind of fix that was done somewhat recently and that has broken the experience completely I can’t scroll and use this app at all I need to refund if this is not fixed within a few days
Classic Panic, making great software!
I tried it for the great SSH app, but bought it because of the fantastic immersive environment. The attention to detail is awesome! I hope they continue to work on it, either letting you move your vantage point, adding in variations, or even new environments altogether. I’ve been using the immersive environment to work for hours with Mac Virtual Display, it’s perfect for tuning out distractions and getting things done!

Leider enttäuschend
Ich bin langjähriger Coda und Nova Nutzer. In Coda/Nova ist bereits ein Terminal integriert weshalb ich keinen dringenden Bedarf an einer zusätzlichen Terminal App habe. Grundsätzlich gefallen mir die Produkte von Panic sehr gut auch wenn diese vielleicht nicht immer die meisten Updates erhalten. So habe ich in Nova immer wieder Verbindungsabbrüche im Terminal, prinzipiell funktioniert das dort aber schon sehr gut. Ich dachte Prompt wäre eine schöne Möglichkeit die Entwickler von Panic zu unterstützen und für mich vielleicht auch eine zuverlässige Lösung für die Zukunft, da ich zunehmend VS Code verwende da Nova leider perspektivisch keine native Github CoPilot Unterstützung bringen wird. Für JavaScript Projekte bin ich schon lange bei VSCode, nur die FTP Unterstützung gefällt mir bei Nova besser für PHP Projekte.
Nun aber zu Prompt, ich hatte gehofft dort ein zuverlässiges Terminal mit guten Presets (Clips) zu erhalten, so wird dieses ja beworben. Die App ist hübsch gestaltet, leider aber noch instabiler als das Terminal in Nova. Oft bekomme ich in Prompt gar keine Verbindung, auf dem iPhone habe ich es überhaupt nicht geschafft eine Verbindung herzustellen, auf dem Mac nur ohne Startscript (cd zu einem Pfad, in Nova ist das Standard) verwende. Panic Sync funktioniert eher schlecht, da ich meine Nova Server händisch übertragen muss und diese nicht mit Prompt synchronisiert werden. Clips sind auch schlecht integriert und funktionieren schlechter als in Nova, synchronisiert werden die natürlich auch nicht mit Nova.
Ich werde mein Abo daher leider wieder kündigen, da meine Erwartungen leider überhaupt nicht erfüllt werden. Leider entwickelt Panic schon seit einigen Jahren lieber Games statt modernen Entwickler Tools.

Very well done - LOVE it on Vision Pro!
I got this so that I could run Claude Code on my iPad Pro by SSHing into my Mac Studio from the couch and its working great. But that’s not even the best part. I’m really LOVING the attention to detail Panic put in when creating the immersive environment for Vision Pro! Wow! What a cool environment guys! This is incredible! The experience alone was worth the $50. And now I can run Claude Code on my Vision Pro with a bluetooth keyboard which is so cool! Now if you guys would put some effort into bringing Nova up to speed for Claude Code, I’d 100% switch over to only using Panic software.

um.. really?
i used to love panic. i still use transmit. but they’ve lost their polish over the years. sorry, but $10/yr or $50/life for a terminal program that has less capabilities and features than a popular open-source terminal? i spend 10 hours a day working in a terminal, give me a reason to want to use this over the alternatives.
i’ll give it some stars for working, having server management, playing nice with ssh, and letting me set my own themes, but even terminal.app has more customization and features (split window) and that came FREE with the OS!

Nice (value) terminal that pairs great with Transmit
I’ve been using Panic apps since 2005, and they continue to deliver some great tools on macOS.
Prompt is fast and straight-forward (clips are by far my favorite feature); exactly what you want in a terminal app. When paired with Transmit 5, it becomes an incredibly effective workflow for remote work. Between the two, you get a seamless combination of SSH access and file management that covers the majority of needs without unnecessary complexity and at a very good price point IMO. Rarely have I ever needed to reach out to support, but recently I did have an issue which was sent up and addressed within a couple of days. Very ‘prompt’ and responsive turn-around from their support in Portland, OR.

Keyboard Profile Issues
Can't even authenticate to my target server (IBM Universe Telnet) because of a simple character encoding issue (return key) - and this version STILL doesn't have editable keyboard profiles.
Why can't we have a terminal client with fully editable keyboard profiles?

Most Platform-Respecting SSH Client
Panic has always made the most native-feeling developer apps for macOS and iOS. This particular app was lagging behind, but version 3.5 catches up to iOS 26 and offered a reduced price, so for me it was time to buy it.
Love this on the Vision Pro
MacBook Neo + Vision Pro + Prompt 3 is a wonderful combination, fun environment too.
It doesn’t hold connections
It’s a fine app until you need to switch to something else then back again. It doesn’t always hold the ssh connection, and there’s no rhyme or reason. It’s really annoying if you’re working with Claude Code.
Vision Pro and a price decrease?!?!
Prompt was already amazing, and now it’s even better. It’s so refreshing to see a developer who isn’t actively adversarial towards their customers as so many are now. Thank you!
Best SSH app for iOS
I’ve relied on Prompt for nearly 10 years to SSH from my iPad and iPhone. It’s an awesome app!
Not good
Barely supported, lots of bugs and ui weirdness.
Gets expelled from system memory a lot
The app gets expelled from system memory a lot. Almost everytime I switched to Safari (just to read api documentation) and back, connection is lost. I’m on iPad mini with A17 pro chip. Still not enough memory?
