✔ Pros:
- Provides TN3270 emulation on a touch screen interface
- Works well for basic 3270 support, especially for ISPF editing
- Can be used from any WiFi hotspot worldwide
- Compatible with a BT keyboard
- Offers a lot of keys in a compact interface
- Good effort from MochaSoft
☹ Cons:
- The iOS keyboard interface does not provide any way for an app to capture the "enter/return" key, which is Apple's responsibility
- The ENTER key is not honored on the Bluetooth keyboard, which can be inconvenient and requires moving the hand to the top of the screen to press it.

Still the best out there after 8 years
By zarchasmpgmr (Pcmac user)
I haven’t seen any of the bugs talked about in the poor reviews. It works well for the limiting situation of the iPad. It works well with a BT keyboard, and remember that the iOS interface for BT keyboards is problematic.
If you need basic 3270 support, especially if you’re doing a lot of ISPF editing, this is your app.

About That Bluetooth Keyboard Issue ...
By Way Out Willie (Pcmac user)
Disclaimer: I am an iPhone/iPad developer, but I am not affiliated in any way with MochaSoft. In fact, I might someday release my own competing this app emulator. This post is neither a "shill" nor a "troll".
But I feel compelled to defend MochaSoft on the Bluetooth keyboard "issue" that was raised in another review. The fact is, this limitation is Apple's responsibility. The iOS keyboard interface does not provide any way for an app to capture the "enter/return" key — so there is NO WAY for this app to treat it as the 3270 "enter" key!
As presently designed, the iOS keyboard interface passes only two things to the app: data keys and the backspace (delete) key. Nothing else — no "function" keys other than backspace are passed to the app. The app can configure the "enter/return" key to either (a) move the cursor to the next text input field, if there is one (similar to the 3270 "tab" function) or (b) dismiss the keyboard. But the app is not notified of either of these actions!

This needs to integrate better with a bluetooth keyboard...
By SolarWind (Pcmac user)
I first bought this for my iPhone and it worked pretty well. Not wonderfully but considering it is a mainframe in your hand with a LOT of keys piled in there, it is a really, really good effort - and as I said it is quite useable.
But I recently also bought an iPad and a bluetooth keyboard so that I wouldn't have to bounce around from virtual keyboard arrangement to virtual keyboard arrangement within this app -- or so I thought.
Guess what? The ENTER key is NOT honored on the bluetooth keyboard, so you can type some characters really quickly & accurately on the bluetooth keyboard but then you have to move your hand to the top of the screen to "press" the ENTER key there. Dumb!
That HAS to get fixed - SOON!!! (Please? When it gets fixed my rating will definitely improve. Til then its a 3.)

Great app from a long time provider of emulation Clients
By SysProg (Pcmac user)
This application successfully provides this app emulation on a touch screen interface. this app is a keyboard based application but with the a combination of the ipod keyboard and 'specialty' keyboards they get the job done. Now I can get my mainframe work done from any WiFi hotspot world wide. MochaSoft is a leader in this market and they have done an excellant job here.
