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.

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

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.

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.

Been using for years. Great for quick admin work when away from laptop. Needs a little work on new iPhones with notch.

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

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

This app works just as described. From the 24 function keys to macros, everything is there, page up & down you name it.

This is the best App for AS/400!

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.

Great app saves me from kicking on the laptop for late-night issues as well as assigning tickets as well as approving requisitions

great job guys

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

Really smooth it's great.
