### 3/5 — Buying options

*2025-12-22*

It’s one time fees or every year we need to pay?

### 3/5 — Ios14

*2022-07-09*

Really not easy to use

### 4/5 — Funziona

*2018-05-11, version 3.8*

Faccio tutto quello che abitualmente faccio con il computer. Unico neo la mancanza della configurazione della tastiera che impedisce di programmare il FIELDEXIT su un tasto. Fra l’altro non sono neanche riuscito a trovare la funzione nei tasti a video. Comunque consigliato.

### 3/5 — Tn5250 lite

*2014-11-04, version 2.8*

Sarebbe da cinque stelle se ti consentisse di scorrere le videate in sequenza e non solo la prima e l'ultima, cercate di porre rimedio grazie.

### 4/5 — Valido per consultazioni

*2014-03-29, version 2.6*

...valido per consultazioni brevi, ma non è possibile una volta aperta una videata composta da 2 pagine andare alla seconda...

### 4/5 — Sr

*2013-11-21*

USEFUL APPLICATION

### 2/5 — Design

*2013-09-14*

What the hell is this Green in the icon?? And if u want to do some iOS7, please take your Time for design them, because it's just seems that they are made under paint!! If you were ok with previous design, don't update!!

### 3/5 — Funktioniert gut, aber

*2012-09-24*

Irgendwie hab ich keine Möglichkeit zum Blättern gefunden.

### 2/5 — No Page up/down capabilities

*2012-09-15, version 2.0*

No option for Page Up or Down keys (since there are none on the iOS keyboard) renders it almost useless with my server. Bummer.

### 3/5 — Godo but...

*2012-08-19, version 1.9*

Godo App, but whe need page-up and page-dn functions, and are not available.

### 4/5 — Gut

*2012-08-14*

Blättern fehlt!!!
Vollversion einfach zu teuer !!!
Deshalb fehlt ein Stern...

### 2/5 — TN5250

*2012-07-01, version 1.9*

Without page-up and page-down it's useless!

### 3/5 — Function keys

*2012-04-12, version 1.9*

It's a fine program until you need an F2 key

### 1/5 — Non riconosce la Magic Keyboard

*2022-05-31, version 4.7*

Del mio iPad Pro, Quindi inutile

### 1/5 — Will not connect thru SonicWall VPN software to iSeries

*2020-12-12*

Trying to setup to test use on iPAD.  If MochaSoft would connect thru VPN we could proceed with purchases of full version software for several iPads

### 1/5 — Where is my enter button?

*2019-09-19*

Please return my enter button to main screen.

**Developer response:** Enter/Return is now as default in the QWERTY screen keyboard. Before QWERTY had a "done", and "enter" at the top of the screen. Now top of the screen has "abc" and "return" is at the QWERTY keyboard. Use "abc" to turn screen keyboard on/off.

You can also get the old layout, if using option menu - configure -  "swap done with return" = NO (last element in the list).

### 1/5 — Ohne Pageup/Down nicht zu verwenden

*2015-06-26*

Wäre gute App. Da aber die Tasten zum Blättern gesperrt sind ist die App nur Werbung. Vollversion sehr teuer.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2015-04-19, version 2.9*

For iSeries, but no pgup, pgdn!  Useless.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2013-04-09*

Bad

### 1/5 — Tn5250

*2012-11-15, version 2.0*

No page up, page down, or F keys.... This is worthless

### 1/5 — Where is the Page/Down....???

*2011-10-23, version 1.7*

I got crazy looking for page Down/Up...... And nothing...!!!! $30 is way too much......

### 1/5 — 日本語を使えるようにしてほしい

*2011-09-02*

会社の端末がAS400を使ってるので、日本語を使えるようにしてほしい！

### 1/5 — Not a working option

*2011-07-19*

Do not expect this to work, the keyboard is useless even if you attach a separate keyboard because there is no mapping of the keys, Simple functions like page up and page down are missing from the keyboard and no function keys are accepted unless you touch the highlights on the screen. I tried the MAC Bluetooth keyboard and none of the short cuts worked. Contacted support and they confirmed even the paid version does not support the shortcuts..

I was going to purchase the paid option if it allowed key mapping etc but apparently it does not.

Need to find an alternative.

### 5/5 — Ruler

*2023-09-11, version 5.0*

Hello. Please can you add the ruler function in.

### 5/5 — Hackera??

*2019-09-15, version 4.2*

Se hackera le stelle sono cinque io la provo ma nn so se funziona e se voi altri la avete già provata e hackera scrivetelo e mettete 5 stelle!😍

### 5/5 — Great for connection to I-series

*2016-04-12*

Just tried this Lite version. Pretty consistent with IBMs Client Access and HOD emulations

Lite version only has some function keys enabled. I could not use our work system well without the F12 enabled 

Overall has that 60s look and feel to it as you expect with anyone emulating a I-series system

The cost for the full version seems a little steep. I would only use my iPad or iphone for emergency access only

### 5/5 — Even better

*2014-12-18*

Battery sharing with Linea Pro scanner. Woohoo!

### 5/5 — Works!

*2014-10-14, version 2.8*

Easy to set up and works great!

### 5/5 — Great Full Featured App!

*2014-09-18, version 2.8*

This app delivers as promised bringing the full functionality of the AS400 terminal application to iOS. I use it to access an ICOMS billing system running on an AS400 server and it works flawlessly.
At the time of this review the paid version of this app is $29.99 which adds additional keyboard functionality. I would easily pay between $1 and $5 just to give the dev kudos (even if I didn't use the extra keyboard) but it would take a significant amount of additional useful features for me to spend $30 for an app, and even then it would be tough to justify as there are very few apps of this nature in that price point. 😉

Great app!!

### 5/5 — Don't Support Chinese code page 1388

*2014-02-07*

Don't Support Chinese code page 1388

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-11-20*

Very helpful app for people who work on AS400. This app even has an option to scan the barcodes through the camera and take that as an input. Excellent!!

### 5/5 — Excelent app

*2013-09-15, version 2.4*

Awesom app

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2012-05-20*

Had my company's iT guy set it up and it does everything its supposed to. I love the camera being used as a barcode scanner. Since this is the lite version you are missing keys, which i need those keys to do 85% of the programs on my system.
So I will be buying the full version soon
