User reviews

Great app but ever since I uninstalled then installed it earlier this month, storage setup keeps crashing, no option to allow storage access. Nothing 😞 On Infinix Hot I have tried to uninstall and reinstall nothing works. Help

Termux is FANTASTIC, but this version is outdated (I belive due to opaque Google policy BS.) For the best experience, download the APK from F-Droid. Also, if you have a phone that uses "swipe from edge to go back" gesture navigation, you'll have trouble accessing the navigation drawer. You can edit the "extra keys" above your keyboard in ~/.termux/termux.properties to have "DRAWER," which will give you a way to open and close it without swiping.

Can do the job, but plenty of room for improvements. Mainly with the actual interface. Improve copy/paste, CLI cursor navigation, perhaps even code snippets we can one-click run. I don't need a whole bunch of bells and whistles like other apps have, and they can't do what this can, but improving this would make it near top-tier for almost every use case.
