### 3/5 — no scroll bar or scroll support while using ssh

*2026-07-08*

You can’t scroll you screen to see the history output/operation in ssh. This sucks

### 4/5 — sftp file  supported

*2026-05-22, version 1.34.2*

Server file management is not supported. Only shell

### 2/5 — Recent UI Changes

*2026-04-22, version 1.34.0*

Was a great app until recent UI changes removed dedicated copy/paste buttons and made navigation very clunky

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-04-16, version 1.33.1*

Awesome SSH Terminal. But it would be even better if Pod can read the docker-compose.yml file instead of executing docker run.

### 2/5 — Some functions damaged,

*2026-04-14, version 1.32.4*

e.g. upload/download icon, snippets editing. Btw, why not go to face unlocking directly instead of show a unclocking button when the app starts.

### 4/5 — ftp file  supported

*2026-04-14, version 1.32.4*

Server file management is not supported. Only shell

### 4/5 — 希望能支持复制终端输出的文字

*2026-04-14*

做的很不错，今天出现闪退两次，终端执行命令突然就闪退了

### 5/5 — 很棒！

*2026-04-13, version 1.32.4*

最好用的VPS簡便管理工具。 為優秀的中國開發者按贊！！👍

### 5/5 — awesome SSH Dashboard

*2026-04-13, version 1.32.4*

very nice stable tool. has all one needs as a mobile SSH Dashboard

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2026-04-11, version 1.32.4*

The best free terminal tool out there and best bang for your buck premium terminal out there, the developer is always upgrading and improving the app I recommended to everybody

### 3/5 — No scrolling possible and selection problem

*2026-04-08, version 1.32.3*

After the last update the text selection is not working well. The keyboard pops up and the upper text is out of scope. Theo the scrolling is not working anymore.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-04-04, version 1.32.1*

I love this app! Clean, easy to configure, and it allows for such quick access and the snippets make for easy manual maintenance, if needed. Can’t recommend it enough!

### 5/5 — Perfect cat Terminal

*2026-04-04, version 1.32.1*

Honestly my favourite ssh client 🚀

### 5/5 — Quick and Easy

*2026-04-02, version 1.32.0*

Super quick and easy, no clients, no config, just “what’s the status”.

Would love more organization options, (folders) that way when I’m at work I can connect to certain ones and home, others.  Stay organized (rather than me prefixing every name to group them).

### 5/5 — Additional fonts

*2026-04-01*

Hello ! Thanks for all of ServerCat ! I would be happy to use new fonts (Lilex nerd), or please add ability to install additional fonts

### 2/5 — Feels like a forced upsell

*2026-03-22, version 1.30.0*

Describing itself as a ‘SSH Terminal’ application, only to lock said functionality behind a paywall seems rather dumb. Don’t want to pay? All you get is some status ‘widgets’, that is literally it.

### 5/5 — Excellent, quick and easy.

*2026-03-09, version 1.20*

I have all kinds of monitoring set up, but just as the application describes, sometimes you just want quick and easy.  This is just that.  Would love to have some sort of organization for the servers (ie. Folders for them), but not a deal breaker.  Excellent.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-03, version 1.30.0*

Been using this for years. Can recommend.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-01, version 1.30.0*

Love a lifetime option. Does exactly what I need it to. Some widgets and lock screen toggles would be incredible. And Darwin support

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The app still has the same error as 3 years ago

*2026-03-20, version 1.20*

Even when you log out and log back in, the session freezes and you have to close the app to continue. The app really doesn't work smoothly, which makes the work extremely cumbersome.

### 1/5 — Awesome dashboard, paid Apple slop

*2025-11-15, version 1.30.0*

An SSH client should not be locked behind a paywall in my opinion. But you do you

### 1/5 — Unstable on iphone 13

*2025-10-23, version 1.30.0*

Cant get the UI to work withiut crashing in iPhone 13

### 1/5 — useless

*2025-07-05*

np

### 1/5 — Asks for money when trying to connect

*2025-06-04, version 1.18*

Asks for money when trying to connect 
This minimal service should not cost!!

### 1/5 — bad application

*2025-05-09, version 1.18*

The account verification page pops up every few days, even though the account ID hasn't changed at all, and the feedback to the author doesn't result in any modifications. It's extremely, extremely bad.

### 1/5 — Fraudulent

*2025-04-23, version 1.18*

Fraudulent

### 1/5 — Broken update

*2025-04-22, version 1.18*

Today the app was updated and is consuming the resources of all my servers while the monitoring is running, fix that and add a support contact!

### 1/5 — 从后台转入前台不刷新

*2025-04-19, version 1.17*

这个 bug 很久才修复，至少有一年以上。拷贝粘贴也远远没有 termius 好用，当然优点是便宜多了

### 1/5 — Müll Paywall

*2025-02-27, version 1.16.1*

Wie so ziemlich alles, nur mit Abo nutzbar..

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Everything works great — really convenient app! 👍

*2026-08-17, version 26.8.1*

It would be perfect if you could add a built-in file manager for servers, allowing users to browse files and folders, upload/download files, and, if possible, edit text files directly in ServerCat.
That would make the app almost all-in-one for server management.

### 5/5 — 功能优化

*2026-07-18, version 26.7.2*

主机列表可以支持排序嘛，目前状态侧是可以排序的。然后如果支持排序的话我觉得“主机”和“状态”能共用一个排序就好了，不然也会觉得有点割裂

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-06-12, version 1.35.0*

Works great and easily connect to a number of servers.  Copying text or urls could be better.

### 5/5 — If you manage multiple devices, you need this app	- now with support for macOS!

*2026-06-09, version 1.34.2*

I’ve been a fan of ServerCat for a long time. It’s a fantastic tool for monitoring *NIX hosts, and with support for ssh keys and a built-in ssh client, it provides a frictionless monitor to manage cycle. In fact, my only complaint was that macOS wasn’t supported (understandable, since it requires a fundamentally different monitoring mechanism). That’s changed with this most recent release. macOS is now supported! Outstanding work ServerCat team. Thanks for continuing to support and improve the app. Six stars!

### 5/5 — Absolutes Must-Have für Server-Betreiber

*2026-06-03*

Selten auf Anhieb von einer App so begeistert. Für alle Server-Betreiber eine richtig geile mobile Lösung! ❤️

### 5/5 — Incrível

*2026-05-24*

Esse aplicativo atendeu tudo que eu preciso para monitorar meus servidores. Testando a mais de 2 meses nunca tive problemas

### 5/5 — Extraordinaire

*2026-05-12*

J’utilise cette app depuis plusieurs année maintenant pour du monitoring et de la maintenance légère sur mes serveurs Ubuntu personnel. Que du bonheur.
Je recommande vivement.

### 5/5 — Очень крутое приложение, разработчику респект

*2026-05-07*

1. Есть приложение на iPad, iPhone, MacOS, то есть везде где нужно и везде крутая синхронизация и полная поддержка
2. Мониторинг температуры - то, что нужно, когда сервак стоит дома и хочется за ним следить
3. Терминал. То, что я по факту искал - но нашел просто изумруд в море, с кучей настроек и возможностью настроить под себя
4. Обновление с Liquid Glass просто восхитительно, очень красиво! Спасибо за своевременность!
5. Обновления. Разработчик постоянно что-то улучшает и фиксит, лучший!

### 5/5 — Awesome, missing Celsius unit

*2026-04-25, version 1.34.0*

Awesome app, but can you please add support for Celsius unit as well? Right now it shows the temperature in Fahrenheit which i can’t figure out, would be nice to support Celsius as well.

### 5/5 — This update ssh do not work

*2026-04-19, version 1.33.1*

Ssh connection do not work
