No good

You can’t even connect to verify that it works without buying a subscription. Not with a password and not with ssh. So I don’t know if it works, and I’m not willing to gamble $4.99 to find out. Only because I’ve been burned so many times by iPhone apps.

Frequent issues

This app does more wrong then it does good.
I tried it on my pi, and it’s alright, limited literally all the good functionality behind a paywall.

But when I close the app, it refuses to connect the next time I open it, If i press the connection button it OPENS THE PAYWALL. This put me off even buying the app at all. The only way to temporarily get it back is to remove the host, force close the app and open it again, set it up and you get it back until it closes. WASTE OF TIME

Doesn’t do anything

I connected to my Pi, but I can’t get it do anything. I’ve just paid the subscription and got nothing.

Fantastic app

This is a fantastic app. Gives you a cli to your Raspberry Pi. This is the best way to use all the power of Linux cli from your iPhone via a Raspberry Pi. Full Bash and Python. And as an extra bonus it gives you stats on cpu, gpu and ram usage. And all for £4.99 per year. Can’t recommend this nearly enough - download now if you haven’t already :)

Terrible

I got the app just to mess with my raspberry pi and it worked one day and then the next it would not let me do anything without paying so terrible app

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for giving the app a try — I’m an indie dev 🙂. There’s a free trial to explore everything first, then continued access helps support ongoing development. If it suddenly stopped working, that may be a bug — feel free to reach out through the app and I’ll help!

Subscription Model

This pay model implies active development and constant new features which this app does not receive.

Super Produkt

Das Programm läuft super.
Und es unterstützt mich bei der Arbeit super.

Trash

Doesn’t work

Raspberry

App crashes several times and fails 50% of the time to display gpu,cpu,and temp settings. Very similar app in iPhone apps that does all this app does, better, and free.

Doesn't work on iPad mini ios9 even though App Store n web site states it does.

App ok, aber nur ohne Abo

Hatte die Version 2 gekauft. Nun komme ich damit nicht mehr auf meinen pi. Habe jetzt zufällig gesehen das es Version 3 gibt, leider nur mit Abo. Ist leider Mode geworden. Nein danke.

VERY BAD

i can only use the app once before it won’t let me

abone oldum bir şey değişmedi?

Missing obvious features.

I often run commands that run continuously and return frequent status updates via the terminal. I have been unable to view the command’s output. I find the terminal icon at the top but it does not show updates from my command. Should be able to hold finger on a command and create a copy. Without these features, I don’t see this as a big improvement over the old free version.

Continuously running command aborts when phone screen locks/(sleeps). In need the command to keep running.

Too expensive

massively overpriced, deleted.

Can’t even get in.

So I’ve typed in my IP and all the other info and it says invalid or couldn’t reach given IP address. I’ve checked multiple times, I don’t have a VPN or any sort of good protection turned on, and I’ve also checked my IP multiple times and it just doesn’t let me in. I can’t connect to my Rasberry Pi 3B+.🤬🤬

Solo un accesso poi a pagamento

Una presa in giro, una app a pagamento mascherata da app gratis, non la pago per principio!

Gute App zur Überwachung des PIs

Coole App!

Ich habe bei mir den Standardport 22 auf einen anderen Port geändert und kann mich dann nicht mehr verbinden.
Wenn ich dies teste klappt meine ssh Verbindung über: ssh -p 1234 user@host

Ich hätte dies gern über den Feedback Button gesendet aber dieser funktioniert nicht.
