I finally landed on this one and knew almost immediately that I had finally found the emu that would work perfectly for my use and immediately bought the pro version. I do have a couple gripes in that I think the UI in terminus has more polish and perhaps slightly more intuitive usability and second that though this terminal supports sixels images, they don’t work on ranger for some reason. That being said I think this one is overall the best and it’s nice that there is no information collected and that it is a low priced buy once app. Nice job developer. ### 5/5 — Best *2025-06-05* I like Secure Term so much I bought the full version before I'd tried everything and I never do that. **Developer response:** Thank you for the trust. If you have any questions or suggestions please contact me through the support within the app. ### 5/5 — 非常好用 *2025-02-22, version 1.42* 非常好用 ### 5/5 — The best *2024-11-05, version 1.37.1* 100% Satisfied ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-07-28* I’ve been using Secure Terminal for a while now. I think it is great. I like it a lot. It has all the essential functionality ssh client needs and is quite stable. I really like the way it keeps the sessions alive even with iPad locked. One feature I am missing slightly (or don’t know how to activate) is using the Apple pencil to select text in terminal. ### 5/5 — Awesome app to have for running home labs *2024-07-15, version 1.36* I use this all the time to check on servers. Super handy and just like being on a laptop ### 5/5 — Best Server Management App for a Homelab *2024-07-01* If you’ve got a small number of servers and VMs this is literally the perfect app for monitoring them. It’s perfectly made for anyone with less than 30 servers. ### 5/5 — 好评 *2024-06-30* 非常棒的应用，简洁大方。 ### 5/5 — Muito bom!! *2024-05-02* Este app é muito bom e tem Um preço bacana também. Uma possível melhoria seria deixar os atalhos das conexões na tela principal. ### 5/5 — Clean and Simple *2024-04-05* easy to use. don't need to carry laptop. gets job done even on the go. more improvements could be: in clipboard/saved commands feature- give ability to format/prettify command snippets... it could significantly improve the input experience when using from mobile phones. also, if you could keep the theme full dark instead of dark blue and add another plain simple b&w icon. thanks ### 5/5 — Support Nerds Font! *2024-03-19* Oh god thanks! One of the rare terminal that support nerds font. Really nice and useful when using nvim with a config that contain font icons. <3 ### 5/5 — Класс *2024-02-11* Чем хорош данный эмулятор терминала: нет подписочной формы, есть возможность подключение по ключам, красивый интерфейс, поддерживает SFTP - протокол. Из минусов - нет возможности вставить скопированный пароль в терминале Linux. Я пробовал через клавишу «Paste» вставить, но почему-то не работало. ### 4/5 — Awesome, but UI/UX is mediocre *2024-01-28* I’m glad this app exists, it provides all features I need, is reliable and no ads or subscription. But the UI could be better, some examples include clickable text that isn’t styled as a button or link and there is no clear way to cancel a connection when trying to connect to a server that isn’t reachable. If the Ui was more in line with other apps and had better ux I would be perfectly happy with the app. But it’s still pretty good. ### 4/5 — Going back to work *2024-01-16* I have to be at ### 5/5 — Extremely useful *2023-12-29, version 1.32* I do everything on my phone and I needed a good program that would allow me to ssh into my server and do some work while remote or away from a computer. This application is top notch and lets me do everything I need to and then some with absolute ease. 10/10 do recommend. ### 5/5 — Enjoying the app! Bu tlack documentation *2023-10-16* I simply love it when compared to any toher app out there. The only thing is the lack of doc regarding Port Forwarding. Would you care to provide an example/setup ? **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!! If you need assistance on how to use the app, please use the “Ask question” from the app settings section ### 5/5 — Good morning I’m not doing *2023-08-06* Visit your house in about an hour ### 5/5 — We can *2023-08-04* I have ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good *2023-06-14* Good ### 1/5 — sshクライアントが *2020-08-02* 位置情報を盗るなんて意味不明。 **Developer response:** 場所は盗まれるのではなく、ローカルの暗号化されたデータベースに保存され、それもオプションです。 この機能により、バックグラウンドでもセッションを開いたままにすることができます。 ### 1/5 — Not usable *2020-03-26, version 1.10* This app is not usable with a keyboard. The slide up tool bar will cover the bottom line of text so you can not see what you are typing! Please test your software with a real keyboard. ### 1/5 — Deception *2020-01-17, version 1.6* So tired of apps that don’t disclose the fact that they are not actually free, they only pretend to be free! This one is “free” if all you’ll ever need is a single server in your list of hosts. I want an honest app vendor. After posting this review the vendor responded saying that he never said the app was free. Apparently he’s not bothered to look at the’App Store Preview’ ### 2/5 — Était bien *2024-04-25* L’application était bien, jusqu’au jour où une mise à jour est arrivée, rendant payant des features basiques tels que l’ajout d’une connection supplémentaire ### 2/5 — bug *2023-04-28, version 1.27.2* sftp cannot be opened when using a proxy server to connect to ssh ### 2/5 — App crashed *2023-02-13* App crashed beim docker compose pull mit ZSH und ohmyzsh ### 2/5 — Nach App Auslagerung klappen Pro Features nicht mehr *2021-09-07* Nachdem die App aufgrund des Speicherplatzes auf meinem iPad ausgelagert wurde klappen nach dem Neuladen die Pro Features nicht mehr. In den Settings kann man auf "Restore Pro Features" klicken, dann verschwindet der helle Rahmen um diesen Satz herum und das war es. In der Dateien-App erscheint der Secure Terminal Ordner einfach nicht mehr. Eine Support-Möglichkeit finde ich nicht, daher diese Rezension hier. **Developer response:** In der Dateien-App müssen Sie auf das 3-Punkte-Symbol tippen, dann auf "Bearbeiten" und dann auf "Sicheres Terminal" aktivieren. So funktioniert die Datei-App. Bei weiteren Fragen können Sie mich direkt aus dem Bereich „Settings“ der App kontaktieren. ### 2/5 — Plante tout le temps *2020-01-27* Dommage, l’appli n’est pas mal. Mais elle plante tout le temps. **Developer response:** Merci pour les commentaires, je corrige quelques bugs dans la prochaine version, mais si vous avez remarqué que le problème de plantage se produit dans une situation spécifique ou qu'il persiste après la mise à jour, veuillez me contacter. ### 3/5 — Wie erstelle ich hier ein portforward ? *2021-07-22* Also Normal ssh -L 4444 ZIELSERVER:3389 USERNAME@Brückenrechner Aber wie geht das mit dieser App Ich habe die Vollversion ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — An absolute joy to use *2026-08-08, version 1.48* This is the terminal app to get. Very user-friendly and no annoyances. Best part? It’s FREE! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-06-12, version 1.46* Exactly what I was looking for. A great terminal app with a one time purchase for pro features. This developer deserves to be supported so they can keep making great apps. ### 5/5 — Hidden gem *2026-05-24* I’ve tried all the popular ones and most have at least one feature I need missing or broken. The one that got the closest to perfect is subscription based. This one has everything I wanted and some more in its free version and then even more after a 1 time purchase. I don’t see people raving about it often enough but I will be among those who do. ### 5/5 — Great terminal SSH/sFTP app at great price! *2026-05-03, version 1.46* You really can’t beat this value and it will work on your MacBook, iPhone, and iPad if you have them too. Give this a shot there’s even some server monitoring built-in too. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-02-27* Practical, one-time purchase, European! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-12-03* I’m using this app for a long time, is the best app for terminal in iPhone ### 5/5 — Bester SSH-Client ever *2025-11-07* Der beste SSH-Client den es derzeit im App Store gibt mit einem Entwickler, der immer für Vorschläge und Verbesserungen offen ist. Vielen Dank für die regelmäßigen Updates. 5 Sterne vergebe ich sehr gerne, ich würde dafür auch noch mehr Sterne vergeben. ### 5/5 — Best terminal evah! *2025-10-15, version 1.44* Seriously, this has all the features you expect and is a breeze to set up and use. Latest update fixed the minor gripes I had. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — 好评 *2025-10-15, version 1.44* 非常棒的应用，简洁大方。 ### 5/5 — The best *2025-09-21* 100% Satisfied --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
