| 2024-12-10 |  | | Pretty much the perfect SSH/SFTP app... but it's not been updated since 2021 and doesn't run on newer versions of Android. Beware paying for the lifetime subscription!! |
| 2022-12-05 |  | | Sincerely, it is awfullest app I've used ever! Four places for function buttons and every time you go through ALL of them to find how the heck you could upload a file via sftp. Then you spend the same time to find a menu to close the session! But the last drop was - to use fingerprint unlock you have to buy it. Okay!!! I want to use it as is... with no lock. But NO!!! It asks to create a password when you configure almost every option. And.... yes!!! It locks!!! And it forgets it!!! |
| 2022-09-01 |  | | This app is great for connecting to my compute using ssh or sftp and IPv6. It's pretty easy to set up and use. However, I have noticed a couple of annoying bugs. One, if I click to open a file directly instead of download it, it says permission denied. It's not an issue on the server end since I can download the file. Two, when I rotate my phone and the screen changes, it opens a new connection. I can end up with a lot of connections open just from not holding my phone steady. |
| 2022-08-31 |  | | very helpful, I truly like the app, I have been using it to access a sandbox to do my school projects on the phone and it provides a very convinient way for me to work away from the computer. The only issue I have with the app is the cursor positioning. When you are typing in the terminal you can't tell what position you are, because the cursor is not position at the begining of the buffer, in this case I am using emacs as the text editor. |
| 2022-08-29 |  | | I am using it to connect to my raspberry pi whenever I don't have my Laptop booted up. Really helpful. Also gives status of the device. Apart from ssh, SFTP, FTP and telnet also. But the only thign I need is to control the background color. Sometimes it matches with the text color, so becomes difficult to read :) |
| 2022-07-29 |  | | The app is good, but however, it immediately disconnects when you lose internet instead of sending a keep alive ping to check if there's internet, and if x amount of pings fail, the session should be shown as disconnected. Also SSH immediately disconnects after you leave the application which is very annoying. |
| 2022-07-27 |  | | Nice app, the best so far of those I've tested. One small issue I have to comment. I'm using different languages and have issues displaying all the accents, which is not a deal breaker, but makes reading a bit more challenging. more details ... I'm using Thai language which lives on tones also represented by tone marks ... and these little things hovering over Thai consonants are basically missing ... when using SSH connecting to servers ... a bit geeky, but hey, why not! |
| 2022-03-27 |  | | I've been using this for a week and wanted to give it a try before rating. I have to say I'm impressed. I'm on a Galaxy Note 20 connecting to an Ubuntu server and have had zero issues with bugs. SSH runs great and the SFTP function works as expected. I appreciate the UI for it as well. I recommend this app for any administrator that needs immediate access to their machines from wherever internet access is available. |
| 2022-02-02 |  | | Too buggy. On my moto g power, this app's file transfers failed more often than not. Most of the failures were either 'time out on read' or 'control channel unexpectedly closed'. Some transfers that appeared to succeed actually failed to transfer the final few file sectors, creating a corrupted file. None of the multi-file transfers succeeded...most timing out on the 2nd file in the list. A positive for this app is the UI. I found it intuitive and complete for the tasks I attempted. |
| 2021-09-22 |  | | Finally a good SSH app. Loses a star because not being able to re-order hosts is really, really annoying. However everything else seems perfect for SSHing comms cabs, Esc key and other keys missing from android keyboards appear above the keyboard which is what failed me in other apps. Bought lifetime subscription after trying it for a couple weeks. But PLEASE, let me re-order hosts in their groups. Driving me mad. |
