Can no longer ssh to raspberry pi. Handshake error. Never had problem before.

This app used to allow you to scan local networks via the scan command.

I just ugraded to premium and now when I select options from the settings menu it opens the wrong one, e.g. I wasn't planning on leaving this review, I wanted to change the size of the font and when I clicked the option to change the font size it brought me here...-____- UPDATE: After relaunching the app everything seems normal

Honestly pretty good for its price, I like the customizations and the shortcuts with typing and the file shortcut
I personally use Linux so this app is really good and easy to use imo than most terminal apps

I ssh’ed into my server and nothing formatted correctly. I was expecting more, especially after reading some of the more recent five-star comments.

It’s amusing to see reviews from users who have very little or no idea on how to use this app. For users who have extensive experience with Linux shells and CLI, it becomes readily clear what this app is for. There are limitations on what this app can do, but the capabilities it already has can come in handy in certain situations. For a more powerful app, try LibTerm or a-Shell, both of which were open source and available for free on the App Store as of this writing. For users who have never used CLI on Linux, I suggest that you first learn it and use it on Linux for real-world useful stuff for maybe a couple weeks or months until you are really comfortable with it, before tackling this or other similar apps.

No matter what command I try to use, if they have to print output on the terminal (ls, cat...) I can only see the very first line. If there is more info but it's longer than one line, it just doesn't show up. Could you please fix this or at least give money back. I thought if it was a paid app the minimum would be working. I have an iphoneSE second generation (iOS 15.4.1)

The command prompts for the uptime do not work for me. It uses coding of home>tmp>uptime and does nothing but say please give us your feedback.

I purchased this app to use the DIG command on mobile to check DNS configuration but that command was missing, despite it being listed on the app description.

First thing I tried to do with this was ssh to a local server I have in the house and the password prompt didn’t even obscure my password as I typed it. Once I was logged into my server I then tried to use sudo and it kept sending an enter key while I was trying to type my password. This app is a useless rip off.

What they don’t tell you is that this isn’t a real terminal it doesn’t do anything it’s just for show to pretend your a hacker or something, complete crap and a scam

I am using an iPad Air 4 2020 running iPadOS 14.2, and strongly prefer the floating keyboard to the full size one.
Started app with floating keyboard in landscape, and app buttons were at the top of the screen and no text was visible, but still received input from keyboard.

You can’t do much with this and I can’t believe I spent money on this crap

Most of the commands are not installed and developer website doesn’t seem real don’t think it’s the real developer probably coded with hidden malicious scripts etc.
Like I said more then half of the commands, modules etc don’t work I didn’t know I was paying for just the shell, no repos etc. every other app comes full with the basics I also did a search on line for open term and the links were dead because open term was removed. I imagine that’s why your website is http only. Scam. Otherwise refund my purchase please.

Seems there’s no way I can see my iCloud folder?
~~~Michael Wood~~~ • Jul 17, 2020
as this isn't real just very simulated almost fake maybe it's time to give it real world use. id like to be able to easily use local files & interact with my stuff vs your implementation. i bet you can build that very easily.
Dang The Hung • Jun 11, 2020
Doesn’t out put enough lines when you SSH into a remote device. Makes it really hard to see the result of commands that you’ve ran.
?!?????????!!!! • Apr 26, 2020
Yet right now I don’t know the real potential of this app and the way it teaches should have been like the desktop cmd to where in the text it gives examples and what it can use with it. Overall I feel amazing having this on my phone though. Even though I’m kinda confused about it.
