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 NOTE: images on the Play Store appear to be outdated.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 Edited

Something has changed where I can no longer copy the public key and there's no way to import my key from my old phone. right now the app is useless until I can copy the public key. Previous:This app works very well as described. I have had no problems connecting to my servers either directly through ssh or through openvpn. My only request is adding SCP capabilities. I'd pay for it.

Recently I needed to download my public ed25519 key. Using the menu would only let me get at the private key. The app has been in the phone for years. I just figured it slipped a bit or something so I un-installed and reinstalled the app. Now I can't create ed25519 keys any more, the option fails. This was probably the best Android app ever until now. You need to fix this Kenny.

Not sure why anybody would use a different telnet/ssh tool on Android. This is the only one worth using. It's got a couple things I don't like (text entry cursor indicated position vs actual character position synchronization is bad, gets further and further apart with the right side of the screen on several phone models), and it won't accept some officially permitted punctuation characters in domain names, so you can't use it to connect to those services unless you know the IP address.

It doesn't spam you with a bunch of ads you'll never intentionally click, so that alone is worth four stars. It would be five stars, but it's a little buggy. But it's free, it's actively supported, and It Just Works. I use this almost daily. The other recentreviews are worth reading to understand what you'll get. I do wish the row of extra keys was configurable, and I wish Enter was one of them (I frequently will up-arrow and enter to re-run a command), but you're crazy if you use anything else.
