### 1/5 — 20 second timeout?

*2026-04-08*

Absolute bs.  Have to click back into the app or it closes all connections.  I’ve had to click back into it twice now writing this short message!

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2026-01-04, version 2.16.1*

Used to be good, but has been abandoned by the developer.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-04-21*

Been using it since the single digit iPhone days.  Still great!

### 1/5 — iOS doesn’t work in the latest version.

*2023-10-07, version 2.16.1*

iOS doesn’t work in the latest version.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with IOS 17

*2023-09-29*

I have used this app on my iPad and iPhone for years.  As of iOS 17.0+ it crashes on connection.  I know it hasn’t been updated in a few years, and it’s been fine.  Just warning others who have moved to iOS 17 or who are on it and looking for a terminal manager, look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Broken on iOS 17

*2023-09-25, version 2.16.1*

Briefly shows shell prompt, then immediately crashes. 

It would be nice if the author(s) provided a software update to fix this.

### 1/5 — Not working with iOS 17 or iPadOS 17

*2023-09-25, version 2.16.1*

Have used this for years with no problems, but now it crashes immediately after connecting to the remote host rendering it unusable.

### 2/5 — Seems broken with iPadOS17

*2023-09-20, version 2.16.1*

Used to work fine. Since iPad was upgraded to iPadOS17 it gets as far as displaying the initial text from the remote device but then immediately crashes.

### 1/5 — No longer working or maintained

*2023-09-19, version 2.16.1*

I loved this app for many years. It does not work on iOS 17. Therefore, the love affair is over.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t seem to be updated anymore???

*2022-11-16*

Does not work very well on newer iPhones as the display is cut off and you cannot correct for the rounded corners, etc. 
This a great app that could use some love from the devs, but with the last update released over 2 years ago now, it may be time to look elsewhere as this may have been an abandoned project…
