Almost perfect. Just needs mosh support.

By insbjbh (Pcmac user)

The custom keyboard functionality puts this head and shoulders above the other ssh apps available for iOS. The limit of 3 minutes in the background is a real pain but, since only Blink and, the ridiculously priced Termius have mosh it is not something to loose a star over. It is possible to use tmux and re-attach after each disconnect to minimize the effect this behavior has on one's workflow but doing so is a kluge. Please, please add mosh support and thank you very much for creating such a great app.
Fantastic

My tried and true ssh app still hasn’t added support for iPhone X. Tried a few other apps and landed with this one. Clean, sexy and simple. Upgraded to pro right away. Hate that other apps charge a yearly fee. That’s crazy. *Updated review* Just received the latest update. In my last review, I asked for Nerdfonts. As I was reviewing the new features, I was excited to see them added! The other features added are clearly from power users and very welcome! Thanks!
Great app great price

By IIIIINNNNNDDDDYYYYY (Pcmac user)

All I wanted was to use ssh from my phone and the to other apps that came up wanted subscriptions from me. I'm happy to put a few dollars down for the hard working developers but for something I'm just going to use on occasion I can't justify getting a subscription. I'm going to pay the $4 simply because this was the only ssh app that came up and worked right out of the box without complicated annoying menus.
Perfect.

I use this app all day long to run Emacs under Screen on my iPad Pro with an Apple Keyboard-folio (or whatever they’re calling it this time). I could not be more pleased or more productive. There are many options under settings — one of which I used to set the keyboard [alt/option] key to send meta (since there’s no dedicated [esc] key on the Apple keyboard). Thankfully, there are no tabs taking up valuable screen space. It’s the best terminal I’ve used.
