- I've been using this app for a while now without any problems. It works perfectly, even on devices without a hardware keyboard. The use of the volume rocker and default android soft-keyboard for things like emulating the arrow keys or Ctrl+[some_key] is very sane and easy to use. The recently added 256 color support is a wonderful addition, too!
- This is a great tool and free. Bunch of freeloaders here want things for free and then have the audacity to demand more and give bad ratings. I have a question for you....what have you done for others lately? Write something that is better, give it for free and then you earned the right to demand things and give bad ratings. Idiots.
- Hands down the most usefull app on the market, I dont even bother to close it, just leave it running in the background. installed debian on my tab and now I have a functional website running of my tab -php, sqlite, perl, python, great for demos.
- this a great app, but when i need to be notified in irssi (and other terminal programmes i use), i have to resort to using irssi connectbot. please add a terminal bell option in the foreseeable future. thank you for your hard work. :)
- At last! I can almost do useful work on my tablet. This is certainly the best terminal that I've found for Android. This still has a few rough edges, but that's what filing bugs is for :-)
- The app is the best out there. My command line is ' /system/xbin/su -c "/system/xbin/bash -" ' and initial command is ' export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH && cd $HOME && clear'.
- Just what the doctor ordered. Does the job of a terminal emulator very well. In combination with su, it allows you to change pretty much every thing in your phone / tablet.
- Root your phone then use this app anf become a power console user. You can do almost anything with this app. Too many interface features to list! Awesome.
- 5th star earned, Jack! So glad this was fixed. All the alt/special keys work on my HW keyboard now and I can stop using that other emulator. Thank you!
- I love the most recent update. I think this is slowly overtaking ConnectBot as my favourite Android terminal.
