### 3/5 — Still doesn’t work with Apple Keyboards

*2022-04-12, version 4.7*

It works as long as you don’t want to use any Apple keyboards like the Magic or Smart keyboards.  It used to work like a year or so ago, you could hit the keyboard button, select wireless, and it worked. I have been all over setups and can’t find anything to help.
I can’t be productive if I have to hold my iPad in my lap and use the iOS keyboard.

### 4/5 — Nice, but doesn’t work with Apple Magic Keyboard

*2021-07-31, version 4.5*

I have used this app on my iPhone before, but it does not respond to physical keyboard input.

### 3/5 — Works great, but...green screen touch is inaccurate

*2018-10-27, version 4.0*

For some reason, when I try to tap on the green screen, I have to tap a bit under where I should be tapping.  It’s like the screen calibration is off on the green screen part.   The keyboard part, and F buttons are fine, just the green screen. 

It’s like whack-a-mole trying to use the green screen...

Otherwise, I use it out in the field and it always impresses my customers that I can get information, stock check pricing and backorders while on the site...without lugging a computer around...

### 3/5 — has issues but ok

*2015-02-24, version 2.9*

The support is horrible. If you loose your server it can be 20 min before you can log in again. The rest emulates the terminal well.

### 3/5 — Leider keine iPhone 6+ Unterstützung

*2015-01-21, version 2.9*

Wäre perfekt um den ganzen Bildschirm incl. Tastatur anzuzeigen - wie auf dem iPad.

### 4/5 — Basically works. Has some issues

*2014-01-12, version 2.5*

It works fine most of the time for basic emulation. However heavy users will be frustrated with it on mac or other  devices. Does not work with system 36 help screens. Keyboard buffer doesn't work if you type before the screen appears. Keyboard mapping way to limited. Roll keys with two finger slide is so useless. 

I use it to get me out of a jam and that's about it

### 4/5 — Hilfe! Kann es sein das es unter 6.0 auf dem iPad 2 nicht mehr läuft?!

*2013-10-17, version 2.5*

Nach IOS7 Installation verschwindet andauernd das Bedienfeld und ich muss neu starten...schade...bitte dringend aktualisieren.....ansonsten trotz des stolzen Preises ne super APP!

### 5/5 — Mocha TN5250

*2013-09-16, version 2.4*

This is a great App! I use it everyday to log in remotely wherever I am to work! Can't imagine being without it !

### 4/5 — Very good apps for my job.

*2013-09-15, version 2.4*

Please if it a possible to add a feature for customize keyboard. 
It's very complicated to use this app with the iPhone version. 

A bar with drag & drop buttons will be more efficient and customizable. 

Please. 

tres bonne application mais difficile en condition reelle. 
Par exemple, j'aurais bien apprecier de pouvoir choisir la disposition des
touches. Sur notre soft, j'utilise bcp les  touches numerique et les lettres. Exemple pour rentrer dans les menus je dois faire : e4, e5 etc. 
Ce qui m'oblige a jongler avec les diffrents clavier separer. C'est vraiment dommage. 

Please regrouper les touches de lettres avec une ligne de chiffres meme si les touches seront plus petite !!
Merci

A quand des mises a jour svp. L'organisation des touches et clavier n'est du tout adapter pour consulter rapidement. Cette app a bcp de potentiel, alors svp ameliorer le. A 23€!! Merci

### 5/5 — Works ver well

*2013-04-13, version 2.2*

This app works very well. You pretty much have to pay the $30 bucks for the full version. The lite version has very limited keyboard use and will drive you nuts with keyboard switching. Even with the full version, using the onscreen keyboard will drive you nuts in landscape mode. Use portrait and you get all the keys on the screen at the same time, then if you want to see 132 characters in a report, turn it to landscape. For fun, I tried a Logitech MX 5000 Bluetooth keyboard with it, and that makes the app almost as good as a regular pc access to the AS400, except I could not get the function keys on the physical keyboard to work.  So I used the onscreen fx key board and the fx hotspots in landscape mode along with the physical keyboard, and that is workable. For the most part, use this app in the portrait mode with the onscreen keyboard when you need something to carry around the office. In your own office, use your pc terminal. 

Ideas for improvement. Let the user define keys as you can via a pc connection on Client Access, or give the user more buttons on the screen that can be defined by the user. 

Overall, an excellent app.

### 5/5 — super!

*2013-04-10, version 2.2*

### 1/5 — Tastiera iPad non funziona

*2022-09-20, version 4.8*

La tastiera originale Apple dell’IPAD non funziona da più di un’anno.
La funzione fast input non è una soluzione accettabile.

### 1/5 — Tastiera iPad

*2021-10-06, version 4.5*

Ancora non funziona… fate qualcosa!!!!!

### 1/5 — Tastiera bluetooth non utilizzabile

*2021-03-23, version 4.5*

Non è più possibile utilizzare la tastiera bluetooth degli IPad 
Sarebbe il caso di trovare una soluzione!! 
Così funziona a metà!

### 1/5 — Tastiera

*2021-03-08, version 4.5*

Salve,ma perché con l’ultimo aggiornamento del 4 Marzo non funziona più la tastiera esterna?Mi riferisco all’iPad con tastiera.Fino a prima dell’aggiornamento funzionava correttamente.

### 1/5 — Tastiera

*2021-03-08, version 4.5*

Con l ultimo aggiornamnto,non funziona piu la tastiera esterna

### 1/5 — Need the enter key back

*2019-10-02, version 4.3*

This app went from five stars to a one star. The enter key is now gone on the top right of the screen and you have to swipe through the keyboard to find it. You put the most used key at the end of the list. It is so inefficient now with the placement of the enter key it is unusable for efficiency. Not anywhere near the page up and down key. Makes no sense at all. I challenge whoever made this decision to login and try using your app without being frustrated the whole time.

### 1/5 — How many keys do you really need to pull the keyboard up?

*2019-09-19, version 4.3*

Very happy with the app and use it daily. However discouraged with the replacement of the enter key on the main screen. Have looked in settings and do not see a way to reconfigure this as a setting. Why do we need redundant keys on the main screen to open the keyboard? This is not as big of an issue when using on an IPad but is very annoying with having a small screen to begin with on an iPhone.

### 1/5 — Can't use it

*2015-12-13, version 3.0*

Can't use it for anything... Is there a way to get a refund?

### 1/5 — NEW UPDATE IS BROKEN

*2015-10-12, version 3.0*

I UPDATED THIS APP AND NOW IT WILL NOT CONNECT ANY LONGER!! THE OLD VERSION WORKED FINE EVER SINCE I INSTALLED IT TWO YEARS AGO. SO PLEASE FIX THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANKS

### 1/5 — Works great, almost

*2012-10-31, version 2.0*

I am down grading my rating to 1 star. 
After swapping 8-10 emails with tech support, I still have no answers. The question is simple, will this work over cellular as well as WIFI. The WIFI side of this is flawless. Cellular, not so much. I can not get it to connect. I can also not get a straight answer. If this is supposed to work over cellular, tech support should be able to help me set it up. WIFI was a breeze..... If help improves and straight answers are provided I will be happy to Raise my rating.
