  • Actually works, slowly

    I tried five other terminal apps before this one. None of them worked. This on runs but it is slow. If you’re using IOS then you likely are happy when your Apple device does anything so let’s call this app a win.
  • Once decent; time to get rid of it

    I used to use Mocha Telnet on a regular basis. When the developers, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make a 5 minute limit on sessions, that was the beginning of the end. Since then, I’ve moved to Termius and found that it does everything that Mocha does, but better. Bye bye!
  • great free telnet/ssh client

    Works great to ssh into home router/gateway. Even saves ssh credentials if you’d like. Nice keyboard and control key layouts. I’m impressed.
  • Worse with every update

    I first started using this app years ago on an iPhone 4. It worked great, scanned quickly, didn’t have a 5 minute limitation on the free version, and did everything I needed it to do. After upgrading phones and getting the updated app, I noticed that each update is making the app worse. The scanning feature deteriorated to a point where it takes forever to properly find a barcode. Why would they update an app that would make a newer phone harder to use than an iPhone 4? The most recent update moved the enter button and replaced it with a second, useless keyboard button. Years ago I contacted the developers about issues I had with scanning after an update and they basically said they didn’t care. If the scanner worked like it should and the developers didn’t continue making the product worse with each update, I would happily spend the $5 to upgrade to the unlimited version, but until that happens, I guess I’ll just reconnect every 5 minutes. If there was another app option, I would use it in a heartbeat.
  • Can’t type and bait/switch issues

    Keyboard no longer works, and now I lost the ability of using app for more than five minutes. Those two issues were not there prior to updates.
  • I disabled auto update because of this

    When I originally downloaded this app, there were very few limitations, mainly concerning which keys you could press. Then the developer updated the app and changed the limitation: the full keyboard was available, but sessions cannot last longer than five minutes. I held off updating for three months, and would have waited longer had I not accidentally hit the button. It was uninstalled in less than 60 seconds. Sorry, but I’m not allowing that.
  • Once great, now useless

    ****WARNING - this will quit your sessions every five minutes.*** Don't bother. I was a happy Mocha user for years, and this "update" was foisted on me without warning. I will never buy a Mocha product, and will actively celebrate their demise.
  • Not worth it.

    This app used to be good for occasionally connecting via ssh to another host. Now that sessions are limited to 5 minutes, I'll be deleting it. Turns out there are competing apps that do what this app does, for free. UPDATE: Developer updated this app once again to hide all the recent negative reviews. Beware!
  • arbitrary time limit

    Adding in a totally arbitrary 5 minute session time limit = 1 star rating
  • AVOID!!!

    Dumping this app. Not worth the hassle of the 5 minute limit, and too costly for what this app does. Look for an alternative.
