### 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.

### 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.

### 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…

### 2/5 — Gone downhill

*2020-01-16*

Used to be a decent app, but has become increasingly unstable.  Crashes, and now it’s impossible to change the port.  Ridiculous.

**Developer response:** Please report your issue from the “Share feedback" option within the app so we can quickly resolve.

### 2/5 — new update, new problems

*2019-11-19, version 2.12*

How can someone build a terminal that you can not press the arrow up? Do they not test this stuff?

### 1/5 — Crashes Constantly!

*2019-11-14*

This app I paid for must no longer be maintained.  Crashes constantly and the keyboard controls are no longer compatible with iOS 13.

Don’t waste your time or money.

### 2/5 — Used to be better, crashes a lot now

*2019-10-29*

Crashes every few commands I try when on my new iPhone XR, used to be better on an iPhone 6

**Developer response:** Please report your issue from the “Share feedback" option within the app so we can quickly resolve.

### 1/5 — was good. not now.

*2019-10-22*

For some reason the keyboard is rolling over the command line output. This makes it useless. I do not have the patience to show kb/hide kb/type blindly to access my mac from my iphone. 

This was my go to app for remote programming or maintenance from my iphone. Worked great. Now I cannot use it at all.

**Developer response:** Please report your issue from the “Share feedback" option within the app so we can quickly resolve.

### 3/5 — I was wrong

*2019-10-17*

I thought this would be great to remote from my iPad to my Linux hosts - but I have a problem with a toolbar that won’t autohide or go away at the bottom of my terminal screen that blocks the last 3 or 4 lines.  When I list a folder and it takes up most of the screen I cannot see my command prompt.

HOW DO I FIX THIS?

**Developer response:** We are soon going to release a new update that will resolve the issue you were facing with the application. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further queries or suggestions.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on latest iOS update on iPad Pro

*2019-10-15, version 2.11*

Does everything you need for an SSH client. Ability to import fonts is particularly useful.

UPDATE 2019-10-16: I've been using this app for years now and it has always been great. I'm not sure when it broke, but with the latest version of iOS on my iPad Pro, the bottom few lines of the terminal are hidden behind the bars above the keyboard, which make it completely useless.

No response from the developers.

Avoid.

### 2/5 — Currently not working

*2019-10-01, version 2.11*

I was previously very pleased with this app, allowed me to connect to my Linux server and Raspberry pi over ssh. However, recently it fails to authenticate on any machine I try to connect to.  Not sure if it’s an iPadOS 13 thing and an update is due.  Let’s hope so.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2019-10-01, version 2.11*

Needs to be updated for iOS 13, iPhone 11 and iPad Pro 11”. Crashes now and is unusable.

### 3/5 — Проблема с клавиатурой на iOS 13

*2019-09-24*

На ios13 стало не удобно пользоваться, командная строка скрыта клавиатурой и что бы посмотреть , что ты напечатал приходится сворачивать клавиатуру

**Developer response:** We are soon going to release a new update that will resolve the issue you were facing with the application. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further queries or suggestions.

### 1/5 — Hopeless buggy Telnet implementation, worthless for regression testing

*2019-09-22*

Got this to remote into a large number of internal systems, secured by VPN.

Does not properly negotiate Telnet options, assuming the host will simply accept them, completely disregarding every version of the protocol ever specified for decades.

This is particularly evident for mainframe hosts that have no idea of what to do with a window change.  No way to determine window size.

**Developer response:** We are soon going to release a new update that will resolve the issue you were facing with the application. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further queries or suggestions.

### 1/5 — Terminal size incorrect

*2019-09-21*

The terminal size incorrect on ios13. Command line hidden by keyboard making program not functional

**Developer response:** We are soon going to release a new update that will resolve the issue you were facing with the application. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further queries or suggestions.

### 4/5 — Клавиатура не подстраивается

*2019-09-20*

После выхода ios 13 на iPhone XS Max, заметил такую ошибку. Клавиатура закрывает экран, не подстраивается под поле для ввода команд. Исправьте пожалуйста, приложение очень крутое, но сейчас невозможно работать на нем. Спасибо, надеюсь быстро исправите

### 1/5 — No port forwarding

*2019-03-13, version 2.10*

Shouldn’t be called a “PRO” level SSH client without port forwarding. The core functionality of connecting a terminal session and using keys is ok, other than no support for ECDSA.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-11-13, version 2.16.1*

Doesn’t work and it ask to purchase another app.

They did a nice landing app with some nice upsells :)

### 1/5 — Used to be good, but useless now

*2020-03-28, version 2.16.1*

Constantly closes connections/crashes if you have multiple sessions open and close one, or start swapping between the sessions.

### 1/5 — Fix bug!

*2019-12-29*

App crashes on start up

**Developer response:** We have resolved the issue with a new update. Please update the application and you will not face any issues.

### 1/5 — Thumbs down.

*2019-12-11, version 2.13*

Is simple! It doesn’t work!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-04-21*

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

### 5/5 — It does not work properly on ios14

*2020-09-24*

It doesn't seem to work normally after the recent ios14 official update.

### 5/5 — Love This App !

*2020-01-21*

If you are looking for a great SSH/telnet client, look no further.  I’ve been using this app for a number years.  It serves my purposes perfectly.  I have a number of linux/Unix devices I routinely connect to and this app is perfect. From Ubuntu VMs, to my router, to a number of headless Raspberries - this app works.  Additionally, over the past year, I’ve submitted two minor bugs that were fixed within 24 hours.  Developer response time is Fantastic. I’ve tried others but always come back.  Look no further.

**Developer response:** We are super grateful for the time you took to support our efforts.

### 5/5 — Works Great!

*2018-02-07*

An earlier version had problems with my iPhone 7 Plus running IOS 11, but the latest update works great!  Key generation and management are convenient.  App is rock solid on a long vi editing session!  I’m using it accessing my embedded Linux IOT devices.

**Developer response:** Please email us directly at support@mooninvoice.com so we can immediately help!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2018-02-04, version 2.9*

Been using it for a long time now and works great!

### 5/5 — Excellence

*2018-01-22, version 2.8*

This is an excellent app. Saved me a lot of trouble managing remote infrastructure. Great stuff!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2017-01-31, version 2.6*

For a server administrator this application is a must. It works beautifully.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2016-10-19, version 2.6*

Very good, I use it to access my Arduino Yun. No issues found. Does exactly what I need

### 5/5 — Very nicely done

*2016-04-03*

Excellent interface that adjusts in a very logical fashion when shifting from portrait to landscape. The developer wisely placed commonly used commands like ctrl-c and the dash on the toolbar above the keyboard. Very practically designed for these small screens, even the iPhone 6+.

### 5/5 — Does its job!

*2016-03-29*

This app is very lightweight, but an SSH client doesn't really need to have much power locally. It has full support for public key encryption, which is a must for me. It's a must-have for any SSH users.
