### 1/5 — Download doesn’t start

*2026-03-09*

I have tried to download files from a bbs but it never starts. It just hangs up forever waiting for the transfer to start.

**Developer response:** We were able to finally get the fixes pushed through the Apple review process. So this update should fix your concerns. If not our email address is in the App and we will tackle it...

### 5/5 — Solid Terminal

*2026-02-17*

Good program for logging into BBSs and other online systems. Telnet and SSH both worked smoothly.

### 5/5 — Best iPhone App for BBSing

*2026-02-17*

Seriously awesome. Thank you for making this. Love accessing my Silfen Path BBS with it. 

I think it’d be really cool if you expand it in the future where it can also become a qwk reader / responder. Imagine, we download file via a modem, app detects it is message file and we can open it, read messages, reply, and next time we connect we can upload back the replies. Heck automate it (what keys are needed to auto execute on login to get to qwk file) and it can auto pull new message in the background and alert you when they arrive :).

**Developer response:** That is a pretty good suggestion. I think QWK support would be easy to implement. I'm not sure if SysOps would want it to be automated like that however, but doing it via manual intervention is probably fine.
