Any button you tap just shows a purchase now screen. ### 4/5 — Stuck in Ubuntu? *2026-06-18, version 1.0.32* The app is overall really good, but when I run the command exit, it does nothing. How can I exit Ubuntu and install a different distribution? I’m in need of help here, please respond ### 1/5 — It’s not free *2026-06-16, version 1.0.32* I wanted a Linux terminal that I could buy in my age range but apparently I’m “too young and don’t don’t know how to operate Linux” so I found this to kill time on my vacation, but it’s like 30$ to be able to make a server or do anything. I guess I’ll wait out the vacation so I could play on my raspberry pi or luckfox mini a rather than spend double the price. Even Linux is free but this is the ‘app store’ or ‘launcher’ to one app which is either a subscription or 20+$. Or you can skip everything and get something else (it’s for your money and sanity) for some reason, all of the 5 star ratings are like the same formality as the developer but shorter or longer ### 1/5 — ganaciossooooosssss *2026-06-09* porra pra coligar tem q paga? ### 1/5 — Utterly terrible, DONT GET *2026-06-09, version 1.0.32* The app can’t do anything without pro! Fuc this app! ### 1/5 — Why is not showing as paid app? *2026-06-06* Why is not showing as paid app in the store ? Because after downloading wherever i click the purchase button pops up. Basically i cannot do anything unless i buy it. ### 1/5 — Nothing but a cash grab *2026-06-06, version 1.0.32* I might pay for the convenience of a terminal app, but when literally every function of your app is locked behind the “optional“ pro subscription, your app is not free and you instantly lose my trust. What’s even worse? The developer prompts you to rate the app during onboarding. Of course no one is going to do that, but saying no puts the rating pop-up on cool down and makes it harder to leave a rating once you realize you’ve been lied to. ### 1/5 — 严重疑似盗用 *2026-06-03* 我朋友说这是开源软件，安卓版本完全免费，甚至有环境还可以自己改实现代码，到苹果就付费了？ ### 1/5 — Платно ! *2026-05-29, version 1.0.32* Зачем отнимать мое врем на скачивание этого приложения если внутри я сталкиваюсь с тем что ничего не могу сделать пока не заплачу . Хватит дурить людей ! ### 1/5 — Horrível *2026-05-27* preciso pagar para mexer no aplicativo? faz favor né ridículo isso ### 1/5 — Just and Advert *2026-05-24, version 1.0.32* You can’t do anything in this app. Don’t waste your time. Buy the pro version or don’t engage with this company. ### 1/5 — 收费 *2026-05-23* 一进去收198元 ### 1/5 — AI slop *2026-05-21* AI slop ### 1/5 — 不付钱啥都用不了 *2026-05-16* 不升级到pro版只能点设置 ### 1/5 — Can’t even access the terminal IDE because of paywalls *2026-05-15, version 1.0.32* You use to be able to just use Termux freely now you can’t do anything it bricked with paywalls and probably not even worth the money I would have paid for it even when it was free it was buggy then ### 1/5 — 垃圾东西，好评全是刷的，别下载 *2026-05-05* 看到这条评论别下载，不花钱不能用，最基础的功能要148/年 ### 1/5 — Why? *2026-05-05, version 1.0.32* Why is it that every app is useless unless you make a purchase? I will vibe code my own thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — After your cash *2026-08-05, version 1.0.33* Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-08-04, version 1.0.33* You can’t do anything on it unless you pay. Not worth your time ### 1/5 — Maybe a little less cash grab and more Functionality? *2026-07-26, version 1.0.33* Anything i touch requires premium, and both Options are just yearly. The one time payment button os broken and doesn't even lead me to the one time payment option and still goes into yearly. ### 1/5 — $50 to ping from my phone *2026-07-24, version 1.0.33* All I wanted to do was ping and they wanted $50 for the pleasure. Not to mention they get you to rate the so before asking you for money. No thanks. ### 1/5 — utterly uselesd *2026-07-19, version 1.0.33* totally useless, just keeps asking you to pay for pro license. waste of time ### 1/5 — Paralı *2026-07-17, version 1.0.33* Paralı yani normal androidde ücretsiz sürümleri ### 1/5 — Scam, dont buy *2026-07-16, version 1.0.33* It says it’s Termux, it’s fake, don’t buy it, the second you touch anything you are printed with a payment plan, you can’t even access the plain terminal without getting the “premium” version. And who knows if it’ll work once you fork over the cash, there may even be ads beyond you first payment. All I wanted was to edit code in nano but you can’t even do that without paying yet another subscription. ### 1/5 — Very slow on an ipad *2026-07-05, version 1.0.33* Unintuitive. Hard to type and paste ### 1/5 — App passa fome *2026-06-21* Sério? Precisa pagar para criar um simples arquivo? Meu Deus, o app virou CapCut da programação para ter tudo premium? ### 1/5 — 这是假的，官方没有iOS版 *2026-06-20, version 1.0.32* 假冒伪劣还收费 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 3Brain *2026-07-08, version 1.0.33* 888 ### 5/5 — The good the like it! *2026-06-13, version 1.0.32* Great! ### 5/5 — 好 *2026-06-04* 好 ### 5/5 — MIT *2026-05-04, version 1.0.32* It is very interesting ### 5/5 — 机会难得 *2026-04-18* 给vv好 ### 5/5 — It’s looking good. *2026-04-14, version 1.0.32* Gives me what I’m after.
