Used to be the best… Sorely Needs Update

This used to be the best SSH iOS client, with all the needed features. However, it’s been over 4 years since the last update and due to default host key algorithm changes on SSH servers, this app cannot connect anymore to any given SSH servers. Really needs an update, and after 4 years there are likely other security patches that this client needs.

If they update this, it would deserve 5 stars again. As-is, this app is unable to connect anymore and could be a security risk to use.

Can’t connect to the newer Linux and Mac OS

I’m getting “Encryption Key Exchange with Host Failed” error.

This app was last updated three years ago. Since then there were numerous updates to ssh to strengthen the key exchange encryption and to fix various CVEs.

If the developer is not willing to maintain this app in order to keep up, they should remove it from the App Store.

This used used to be a good app. Sadly, it fell so far behind into disrepair and turned into complete garbage that’s not worthy to be in the App Store.

Used to work

Used to work well, but not any more. Fails on handshake with newer ssh servers. I guess it’s been abandoned by the developer.

Not being kept up to date

I’ve used this app for years. Sadly Micro Focus / Opentext haven’t updated it since 2020. It’s now impossible to connect to some servers without reenabling encryption ciphers OpenSSH deemed unsafe and removed from the default config.

In serious need of an update

I can no longer use this for ssh connections due to the lack of support for new ssh key encryption methods.
