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.
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.

Can you give please reach out to support@hirmer.me with your raspberry pi configuration? We’ll be able to troubleshoot your issue, thanks!
I want to give it more. Good luck navigating
You can not navigate raspi-config! Screen disappears!
Not bad
Is what it is useful tool does what is says on the tin 👍
Doesn't work on iPad mini ios9 even though App Store n web site states it does.

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+.🤬🤬

Unsure if there’s any functionality here other than ssh client
None of the monitoring works , and there’s no instructions if third party scripts need to be installed on the Pi to enable the monitoring to work. Plus I had to pay to discover this lack of functionality. My fault for stepping out of FOSS
To add insult to injury there’s a ton of tracking hacked into this for the devs benefit. Greedy.

There’s a 7 day free trial to discover all the features. The monitoring works with most raspberry pi distributions. If you have one where it doesn’t work, contact support and I’ll look into supporting it. What does tracking have to do wir greed?! Firebase Crashlytics is used for tracking crashes or errors only.
Ill gladly pay 6 bucks a year
I find this app very useful with a cheap reoccurring yearly payment. Highlyrecommend.
Subscription Model
I used the app once, and it seemed decent. I came back a while later, and it’s requiring me to pay a subscription fee to do anything. If it were a flat amount, I might be willing to pay it. However, this new SaaS (Software as a Service) trend is absurd. I wouldn’t have even bothered to download the program if I’d noticed it was *strictly* a subscription-based app.
This program isn’t a service. If the creator goes out of business and/or ceases to exist, there’s no reason that this program couldn’t keep functioning exactly as-is until whatever framework it’s written against is no longer supported by Apple.
Don’t try to sell your program on a subscription model unless you have regular expenses involved in keeping a non-updated program functional. Don’t do it unless you’re actually offering a service.

Manage those RasPi’s
I have a lot of RasPi’s some running all the time, some intermittantly. This package keeps a weather-eye on them all and enable remote management without the need for a PC or even to open an SSH session. OK, for the purist, it’s not perfect, but it’s getting there and IMHO is well worth the (small) cost for the benefits!

False subscription Information
In the app it shows that there’s a one week free trial. I’ve used it less than an hour and all I get is the pop up saying to subscribe whenever I try to connect.

I’m sorry you’re having troubles. Can you send an email to support@hirmer.me with a screenshot so we can help you sort it out? Thank you!
