Best term emu

Sadderly
I’ve tried most of the terminal emulators on iOS and many come close but are missing one or two critical features that I need or they end up being subscription based to get them, which I would never do. I finally landed on this one and knew almost immediately that I had finally found the emu that would work perfectly for my use and immediately bought the pro version. I do have a couple gripes in that I think the UI in terminus has more polish and perhaps slightly more intuitive usability and second that though this terminal supports sixels images, they don’t work on ranger for some reason. That being said I think this one is overall the best and it’s nice that there is no information collected and that it is a low priced buy once app. Nice job developer.

Works great

The app works great and the developer is responsive to the in-app feedback when you use it. After an update to the app, I noticed some of the external key board shortcut keys were not working. I emailed the developer through the app. The developer emailed me later that day to report they were able to duplicate the issue and submitted the fix update to Apple. The next day the app updated and the external keyboard shortcuts were fixed. If you have any issues with the app, it’s nice to know the developer is responsive and fixes the issue fast when you report it to them.

I do everything on my phone and I needed a good program that would allow me to ssh into my server and do some work while remote or away from a computer. This application is top notch and lets me do everything I need to and then some with absolute ease. 10/10 do recommend.

This is a great app for managing servers on the go. It lets you have one server profile for free, but you can edit that to suit your needs. I bought pro because it’s well worth it, especially as its not a subscription. That said, I have had one big problem with it, it will not let you log in to a remote server without a password. Some servers, like public file share servers, don’t have users or passwords. I would like to log in to one of these and download files, and if that gets done, 5⭐️ for sure!
