### 1/5 — Il faut payer pour copier/coller

*2024-11-02*

Précédemment disponible avec la version gratuite, il faut maintenant payer pour copier/coller. C'est une honte.

### 1/5 — Wtf

*2024-09-21, version 3.0*

Wtf

### 1/5 — خايس

*2024-05-27, version 3.0*

التطبيق خايس يعني يوم سويت كل شي يقول لازم ادفع ؟ ههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههههه ؟ خف علينا شايفنا فاضين لك

### 1/5 — Fail

*2024-04-06*

Doesn’t work with Linux server. That fact drives me insane, especially considering the price🤯
Terminus works though, will use it for now

### 3/5 — Nano edit

*2024-03-27, version 2.9*

naono 文本没法正常编辑

### 1/5 — no import

*2024-03-15, version 2.9*

It’s weird this app doesn’t let you import a key it wants you to type it in. the problem with typing in a key is it’s long and you cannot open a key file on ios even though it’s just a regular text file it doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Funciones que te sacan de apuros

*2024-03-09, version 2.9*

Básicamente funciona bien, es una buen auxiliar para trabajar con una tablet.

### 5/5 — Icy

*2024-02-25, version 2.9*

Icy

### 1/5 — Bella ma follia

*2024-02-15, version 2.9*

Bella, funzionale, sicuramente con tante opzioni e possibilità… Ma richiedere 70 € per avere la licenza a vita, è una follia totale, e comunque sto facendo un complimento.

### 1/5 — Terrible freemium implementation

*2024-02-14*

Lets you add a 2nd server for free, then doesn’t let you use it, asks you to pay. Fair enough. But then it also doesn’t even let you delete the old server. Not acceptable.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Paywalled instantly

*2026-05-02, version 4.0.1*

For a simple terminal is manages to paywall most of the good features

### 1/5 — Junk App

*2025-11-13, version 3.11*

Like some one else posted, this app allows for one connection and then you have to pay a yearly fee for any additional connections. Pointless to have it installed… Have no clue how it got such a high rating.

### 1/5 — Nothings working before you pay

*2025-11-01, version 3.11*

You are not able to try nothing before you pay, how to be confident with the purchase then?

### 1/5 — Just make the app paid

*2025-08-17, version 3.6*

Tired seeing apps that are free that are practically not usable without micro transactions

### 1/5 — Sad

*2025-07-19, version 3.5*

Just sad

### 1/5 — Never downloaded

*2025-06-16, version 3.5*

Phone was hacked. I was tormented.

### 1/5 — Greed ruined the app

*2025-05-26, version 3.5*

Copy/paste is such a basic feature and used to be free. Now you want me to pay for it?

You already steer people to misclick on purchasing a subscription for $60 every time they connect to an SSH server. Your app is predatory and gross. Deleting it and not looking back.

### 1/5 — Сделайте русский язык

*2025-05-11*

Скачал приложение и ничего не понял ни одного слова на русском нет

### 1/5 — Not ANSI

*2025-03-07, version 3.5*

xTerminal does not support basic ANSI sequences, making it have very limited value as a terminal. Specifically, it does not respond appropriately to \e[6n.

### 1/5 — Don’t know why I’d pay $30/year

*2025-01-03, version 3.4*

It’s annoying that the cost wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the description.  I don’t see the value the other reviews refer to.
