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…

Doesn’t work

Failure establishing SSH session, handshake failed.
I have another SSH app that works fine, but I wanted to execute commands with a click. This app would be the best if it worked.

CRASH

Crash crash crash

Personal it’s okay

It’s not the best but it works. I’m running on iPhone XS and it’s very unreliable. It seems outdated. I want a refund as it continues to lock up or lose connection with the server and if recalling commands with the up arrow it will just stack all commands on one line.

Buggy

Command history doesn’t work (pressing up arrow in the terminal)

Just crashes

App crashes when trying to execute a script. Hopefully the developer will revive this, otherwise I might have to just right by alone app!

Constant crashes

Every time a command is run on a server the app crashes. Waste of money unless this is fixed.

Simple and effective

Simple and effective

I really like it - but

It hasn’t been updated in a few years and right now as soon as I execute a command the app freezes and closes.

:(

I really like this app too!

Do not download! App crashes in terminal mode

Bought this app yesterday, saw that it crashes in terminal mode very often. Terminus is a much better app that's free.

I tried to report this error to the developers but looks like no refund is possible from iTunes. What a shame!!

Doesn't work and crashes

Couldn't connect to raspberrypi via ssh

Not worth it

Buggy. Can't display things like htop. Unstable. Had many different issues with basic use. Gave them time to fix things (a few years) and i'm done waiting.

Worse than useless

When you run vi it freezes up. Sometimes it takes the entire soft keyboard down with it and the only fix is a reboot.

Excellent, but lacks ability to uplaod/download files

I purchased this thinking it would have basic upload/download capabilities, but it's not the case.

Stay away if you are using ipad pro keyboard

the interface does not work with the ipad pro keyboard, ctrl keys are messed up, it doesnt print on the whole height of the screen and the first few lines of output is hidden (try running top, you wont see the headlines)

Very useful app but buggy

This app is pretty good. I use it with my Raspberry Pi and it is so much easier than dragging out the laptop to send some commands and browse files etc. The user interface is great. There is a problem typing in commands as another reviewer states, it keeps pasting in the previous history making it impossible to use in this regard.

Please fix these bugs and it will be a great app.

Almost perfect

It would be excellent to have a fingerprint validation when starting the app to make it more secure. Otherwise the app is amazing!

Great little app

This app performs as advertised. I've had no issues or problems with it.

Great little app.
