This is by far the best and easiest to manage client to date. Really nice features inside. Great ease to work with. Good work Shelly!!

Doesn’t have real arrow like keys so you can’t use proper menus like in zsh. Disconnects when you swap between apps, means you need to login each time and use screen.

But seems to be missing one essential feature, I can’t change the font.

The best ssh app for iPad - lightweight and no bloat. It's a pity that it hasn't been updated for a long time. I hope the author hasn't abandoned the app.

I paid for the Pro upgrade. It does not even allow me to scroll using touchpad using a iPad Magic Keyboard. It does not allow me to use the cursor of the magic keyboard to select text, and does not allow me to do Cmd+C to copy said text. So if I’m hashing a password in argon2id format for example, I am unable to copy the long string by selecting it on the terminal output. The develop needs to make this more compatible with input devices other than touchscreen, it needs to make it work more like the native Terminal app on macOS Sequoia. I am unhappy with the application because a terminal app is for power users and this lacks functions I’m used to on macOS. Did the developer not consider that it can be installed on the iPad and that iPads are almost on par with MacBook Pros now? The iPad Pro I paid over £1000 for is more expensive than a Mac Mini or even a MacBook Air, it has a M4 processor too, so the developer needs to wake up and build this app with more features because right now it’s useless for my needs as a “Pro” user.

Its the perfect ssh client, except that if you switch to another app to check something it will close your session. This is a major flaw that could easily be remedied by allowing the user to adjust timeout settings. The app itself is very easy to use and works well but this flaw makes it unusable in certain scenarios and therefore unusable.
