Great, user-friendly app. Have had no issues connecting or staying connected. The stay connected setting is a godsend tbh, makes rebooting my Pi less tedious because I no longer have to ssh into my Pi every time after rebooting. HIGHLY RECOMEND, will be one of the first apps to be installed on future phones I may get. NOTE: images on the Play Store appear to be outdated. The UI has been updated with a more "eye friendly" design since they uploaded the photos

Hi. The curser is misplaced badly Its very hard to type commands etc. Is there a fix? How do I fully backup and restore servers, commands and certs. One plus 7 pro and swiftkey. Does anyone know what happened to the serverassistant app. Last version was 1.3. Is there an alternative?

Edit: I wish ConnectBot sent a 'connected to a printer or TV' signal for Nord's local network discovery and could trigger replacing the emoji symbol with the / on Gboard like browsers do. - An essential app, one of the first installed on any new device. I manage a bunch of Pi's and a PC on it. Used it for years and can't see me ever changing.
