Why did it take me so long to realize this existed? Downloaded this app 5 minutes ago, typed a few commands to see how it works and I can't even describe the enjoyment I just experienced. SSH to the project folder on my pc... no problem. open Claude because I forgot to turn on remote-api earlier. Done. All within 5 minutes of discovering this app. There's a legitimate terminal on my phone!

This app now gives the error ~ ls: cannot access 'filename': Function not implemented. for all files in my home directory. I tried removing the app and reinstall but still the same error. This seems to be a recently introduced error because I believe it was working fine in December 2025. Update on 5th April 2026 - did uninstall, then reinstall. It still has the same error. Not having "ls" working is so fundamental to a shell application that it makes it impossible to be useful. Down to 1 Star.

As a one time thing you need to backup and uninstall before installing the new version. This is a one time thing only due to updated Google Play policy requirements - future updates will not require this.

Such an awesome app. I am regularly using it to SSH into my servers for maintenance, etc. And since I'm often experiencing downtime when on my phone, I find myself just learning or reading help/man for commands (great form factor for reading those). At the very least, I get to practice my terminal skills when I'm not on my main machine, and that's pretty awesome.
