### 3/5 — Muitas solicitacoes de pagamento

*2026-04-14*

**Developer response:** Entendemos sua preocupação. Agradecemos por compartilhar sua experiência. Estamos sempre buscando melhorias e já estamos cientes das solicitações de assinatura. Se precisar de mais assistência, entre em contato pelo email contact@benabid.me. Obrigado por nos avisar!

### 1/5 — Time to say Goodbye

*2025-11-22, version 4.1.4*

Not free anymore it’s asked to upgrade on saving the host . Can’t even use the app it’s forcing to upgrade to their premium version

### 1/5 — Abonnement

*2025-11-17, version 4.1.4*

Loin d’être intuitif, surtout quand il s’agit d’éviter la fenêtre demandant de payer pour un service qui devrait être natif sur un iPhone

### 2/5 — Blah

*2025-10-31, version 4.1.4*

Keeps bugging you for a payment and a review, not usable when not payed.

### 1/5 — There’s no way to test the features without paying

*2025-06-12, version 4.1.4*

This app looks like it could have potential unfortunately I will never know because I can’t even use a terminal to see what it’s like without paying $40

### 1/5 — App requires an account to use

*2025-04-12, version 4.0.8*

If you want a simple ssh client to do a quick test, go find another app. This app requires you to create an account god knows where to use a ssh client.

Updating giving the developer’s reply.

The “continue as a guest” option does not appear most of the time. I tried the app again once the developer mentioned it, just to notice that the option is not available every time I open the app, reason why I didnt see it. I took a screenshot from the app but there is no way to upload it.
And, the “continue as a guest” option, when it appears, it gets buried under a bunch of pop-ups demanding a subscription to the premium version.

### 1/5 — Impossible to use.

*2025-04-09, version 4.0.7*

Whenever I try to do anything in this app it pops up demanding I pay money.

### 5/5 — Loving it so far

*2025-04-05, version 4.0.7*

This app suits all of my needs (which aren’t many). Love being able to mess around with my server from my iPhone.

### 5/5 — Super good and easy to use

*2025-03-26, version 4.0.6*

If you have lots of servers it’s really easy to use them.

### 5/5 — Does What it Says on the Tin

*2025-03-23, version 4.0.6*

Free, no ads, does what it says. The perfect app.
