### 2/5 — UI needs major improvements

*2018-09-13, version 1.86.6*

A wonderful concept, needs a better user interface to accompany functionality.

### 5/5 — Nice Terminal App

*2018-04-05, version 1.86.4*

Great for pinging networks, getting Whois info, checking JSON payloads, checking device info, ssh simple commands, and AES256 messaging.

### 3/5 — Hello. I Have A Few Suggestions.

*2017-10-23, version 1.81*

I would really appreciate it if you did this.

1. Please put “Your iPhone$” On the top of the screen, because we cant see what we type into the command line when the keyboard covers the bottom, where “Your iPhone$” is..

2. Please fix the bug where typing cd would crash the app.

3. Name the app “Terminal” and change the icon to that of MTerminal from cydia.

Sincerely, 

Devin Chizmar
