### 4/5 — Really great!

*2026-08-18, version 7.6.0*

One request. Can you add a copy all button to the terminal history? Using with long conversations and other ai apps on a phone would save a lot of time.

### 4/5 — Great SSH App for iPhones

*2026-08-14, version 7.6.0*

Great ssh app for iOS devices if you are needing to manage remote servers. Or any device with sshd, Also has user saving abilities and face lock. All in all a great all in one ssh app

### 5/5 — So much for free !!

*2026-08-12, version 7.6.0*

Off the charts

### 5/5 — Ai autocorrect workflow works great!

*2026-08-10, version 7.6.0*

I have to keep fixing an external ssd, and although I should probably figure out a permanent fix, this app is so easy that I might not😅

### 5/5 — Simple actually useful

*2026-08-10, version 7.6.0*

The UI is simple. No extra adds. ssh as god intended.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-10, version 7.6.0*

Had no idea anything like this even existed, it wasn’t until I had a use case for it that I realized how much of an unlock it would be to access native terminals through iOS. Great functionality and very responsive. Much respect for everyone who’s worked on this and deepest gratitudes for putting it out

### 5/5 — Best phone terminal

*2026-08-10, version 7.6.0*

Termius is the best phone terminal that you can get. It’s really easy to use and they are constantly updating it and adding new features, like add images into the terminal.

Keep the great work team 🙌🏻🙏🏻

### 5/5 — 👍

*2026-08-09, version 7.5.0*

👍👍

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2026-08-09, version 7.5.0*

Really incredible app. Works very well and is super easy to setup and use. Tons of themes and features. Has so many features that are payed on other apps. Highly recommend!

### 3/5 — I don’t need AI to submit AI to my AI

*2026-08-06, version 7.5.0*

i’m sure it’s in there but I got tired of looking for it and I got tired of pasting into the AI prompt and losing my long prompts that I’m actually trying to put into my AI terminal.  it should default to a NOT AI field when I’m using it or at least make us select all easy so I can grab it out of there.  very frustrating I don’t know how many times I did it but… I’m done.  uninstalled

### 3/5 — sessions time out or disconnect for like, no reason

*2026-08-04, version 7.5.0*

really frustrating

### 5/5 — Great terminal emulator

*2026-08-04, version 7.5.0*

Works great and connects to my remote ssh sessions

### 5/5 — Everything I need, and more

*2026-08-03, version 7.5.0*

I am not a professional host manager; just a few as a hobby

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-08-01, version 7.5.0*

Omg! Best thing ever!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-07-30, version 7.5.0*

Used it as an ssh client, no issues

### 5/5 — The BEST on iOS

*2026-07-29*

I’ve tried quite a few SSH apps over the years, and Termius is easily my favourite. It’s fast, reliable, and makes it really easy to manage multiple servers from my phone. The sync feature is great, and the UI feels polished without getting in the way. Definitely worth it if you SSH regularly.

### 1/5 — Requires registration

*2026-08-24, version 7.6.0*

This requires creating an account registration to do anything whatsoever.  That is an immediate no from me, and thusly uninstalled.  Bye.

### 1/5 — owner of iphone

*2026-08-04, version 7.5.0*

i am very unhappy with this situation because i have no idea what it is or why on my iphone my life is controlled by a phone and i am sick of it

### 1/5 — AI

*2026-08-02, version 7.5.0*

The AI feature is among the most useless, most poorly conceived features I have ever seen in any mobile app. The fact that it is the default mode selection in the text input box is inexplicable. It has literally never been helpful or worked. The amount of times I’ve spent 10+ minutes typing into that box only to lose all the text I typed on submit is ridiculous. Worthless, horrible feature, enough to drive me away from on otherwise really great piece of software.

### 1/5 — sh;tware

*2026-08-01, version 7.5.0*

use xTerminal instead, they don't monitor your commands in terminal and don't require telemetry scraping login credentials. Cant even run my basic pi code agent commands without buying premium

### 1/5 — AI

### 1/5 — Too many questions

*2026-07-19, version 7.5.0*

Need to log in need to set passwords etc. even apps for phones 15 years ago didn’t need this much user info.

### 1/5 — I wish I could give it 0 stars

*2026-07-18, version 7.5.0*

Don’t bother

### 1/5 — Scrolling direction switched - update notes say “improved”

*2026-07-11, version 7.5.0*

Very annoyed that after multiple years of using this app they switched the vertical swipe scrolling direction for cursor navigation in text editors, with no setting to change.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work

*2026-07-07, version 7.4.0*

I can use an ssh key to log in from a desktop, but Termius fails completely. So it’s not something on the server side. Password auth works fine, but I’d rather use keys. Docs aren’t very helpful.

### 1/5 — WAIT

*2026-06-29, version 7.4.0*

Don't upgrade to 7.4.0 if you rely on up/down swiping and the arrow keys that result.

### 5/5 — Great app and features!

*2026-08-23, version 7.6.0*

Use this app for lots of small tasks on Linux, Windows, and BSD remote hosts. Great common sense and intuitive features on the built-in keyboard/console, and some great options in the Pro upgrade. I just realized local and remote SSH port forwarding is available in the free version and works great, so had to leave a positive review! Very cool!

### 5/5 — Works as promised

*2026-08-23, version 7.6.0*

I wanted an SSH terminal from my phone and got exactly that! This app works as promised!

### 5/5 — Quickest and easiest connection setup!

*2026-08-23, version 7.6.0*

It took less than 15 seconds to connect to my VPS including ssh key setup for the first time! Screen on phone is very legible as well.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-21, version 7.6.0*

It just works

### 5/5 — Yes please

*2026-08-21, version 7.6.0*

They are the best way to connect from home in my eyes.

### 5/5 — So cool!

*2026-08-19, version 7.6.0*

I can now remote into my Ubuntu server using my mobile devices. No need to lug around my laptop.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-18, version 7.6.0*

It does exactly what I wanted to do allows me to get in and do my work

### 5/5 — Works perfectly, has everything I’ve ever wanted

*2026-08-17, version 7.6.0*

This app seems to have it all figured out. Each time I’ve reached for a new tool (a key command, searching, zooming, control keys, you name it) it’s already there and it’s in an intuitive place or behind an intuitive gesture.

Literally never had an issue with this app. Would recommend!

Works extremely well when combined with Tailscale.

### 5/5 — Pretty darn good for simple SSH

*2026-08-14, version 7.6.0*

I like Termius. I like that I can store snippets and that it prompts me to autofill when I start typing one of those snippets. I will continue using Termius, I have not been asked to pay yet so I think it’s free? Give it a try.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2026-08-13, version 7.6.0*

Absolutely fantastic application! Complete lifesaver! Very easy to use and great feature set! The app is being continuously enhanced all the time too, adding support for the latest security and user-requested enhancements, which is really great! They have great customer support for reporting bugs as well! Keep up the hard work developers!
