Don’t buy this, it doesn’t work.

This app throws a ‘handshake failed’ message trying to ssh to a local area network connection. Don’t waste your money.

Want a refund - fails to connect

Fails out of the gate. Useless junk app.

App constantly crashing

Why is it EVERYTIME I click a command, the entire app crashes. It’s been like this entirely too long. I’ve even paid for this app. Please update your app or we will report it to Apple, demanding a refund…

Handshake Failed

Seit Jahren sehr zufrieden mit der app.

Nur mit dem neuen Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye gibt es Probleme.

Connection Failed… Reason: Failure establishing SSH session, handshake Failed.

Da wird wohl mal ein update fällig.

MikroTik

Does not work with MikroTik routers. I have the option strong ssh encryption activated on my MT, not sure if it’s that, but I am not deactivating it because of this app.
