### 1/5 — 不能保留后台

*2022-06-01*

返回一下就需要重新连接了，麻烦的很

**Developer response:** Apple does not allow you to keep the connection forever

### 1/5 — Constantly crashes

*2022-05-27*

I tried this, and it crashes every time I open it. 1/5

**Developer response:** Can you describe the problem in detail so that we can solve it?

### 1/5 — Stopped working today

*2022-02-06, version 1.1.1*

The app crashes on loading starting today. Had to delete it. Tried reinstalling and the same thing happened.

### 1/5 — crash.bang

*2022-02-03*

Delete and reinstall notwithstanding…

*2021-12-15, version 1.0.14*

Nie da się otworzyć aplikacji

### 1/5 — How am I supposed to test this app if it does not even allow one connection?

*2021-12-04*

Created a connection, connected for about 5 secs, now impossible to use. I also have no idea what a purchase of 5 connections means.

### 1/5 — As this app didn't start

*2021-04-05, version 1.0.6*

I can only assume what it would be like if actually I managed to get to use it

### 2/5 — Платно

*2021-08-15, version 1.0.11*

Платно

### 3/5 — Getting there

*2021-10-02*

Most things are simple, well implemented and stable but the UI needs some work to be truly useful.  It would help to get common keys on the toolbar, like / or ~.  Having to dig thru the iPad keyboard makes typing a path tedious.  I'd also appreciate being able to touch and drag back thru a command.  Pressing the back arrow a hundred times is, again, tedious.  Not being able to swipe up thru the history is almost as tedious but I can deal with the up arrow for that.

### 3/5 — 打开闪退问题未解决
