Seemingly decent, but missing features? Decent SSH client for the Android platform. Seemingly handles connections and typing commands. The pros: Decent representation of the terminal, allows storing of profiles, definitely better than some of the Blackberry options. The cons: Not having a full keyboard or list of commands so as to be able to select popular key combos. To get the Control char or the Esc char, simply tap the screen.

Great, but with one huge flaw... It desperately needs some way to send special characters that works consistently across phones. So many people find this a problem it's hard to believe it hasn't been addressed. No way to send a pipe (|) from an HTC Wildfire without using a third party IME. An SSH client that can't send such a fundamentally essential character as a pipe is near useless. Can we please have a 'Special characters' item in the menu that facilites such essential sysadmin functions?

Works very well. A few requests. This app works well, especially when paired with a bluetooth keyboard. It would be swell to see this work in landscape mode. It would be much more usable that way on my Galaxy Tab. I would also suggest finding a way to make sure that the escape key gets sent to the terminal from a bluetooth keyboard, rather than backing out to the session manager. Hopefully this is possible, because without that feature, using Vim is nearly impossible. Good luck as you continue to develop this app!

Been using this app for a while, but got frustrated when using it on my Transformer Prime. The Ctrl and Shift keys don't work like I would expect and you can't have multiple sessions open. As for the ESC key, I guess it would be bad to make that the "back" key, but would be cool if it was an option since on the Prime keyboard the ESC key is actually the back key for android. A little ICS love would be a great addition. I use this app with Droid Edit and would be a great companion with some updates.

I've had my phone for a few months now, and I *still* think that this is probably the best app I've downloaded yet. A few days ago I SSH'd into my home computer, mounted a Truecrypt volume (After reading the man pages on how to do that!), and used emacs to update my journal/diary. Sure, it took me 10 minutes due to the little keyboard and not knowing how to use truecrypt in command line, but that isn't ConnectBot's fault! :D

SSH'ing in to remote servers is excellent, but lacking vital keystrokes, tab completion is a luxury, I'm running a Asus Transformer, sometimes far away from my home server, this unit has a TAB key, not useable, you cannot type in "ls -la ups*" as the "*" key is not mapped?? WTF, to use the ESC key (not on keyboard) I have to detach the display, try to get the screen touch to recognise that I want to use the ESC keystroke, then the program become so FRUSTRATING.... 3-Stars.

This is by far the best ssh client I've yet used and I've been using them since the first Sidekick! I can use the bash shell, vim, the screen program and mutt without a problem. Just when I was wondering how the hell to detach 'screen' I tapped the phone screen and it came up with a control button and an escape button! Nice! The volume up and down changes the screen and thus text size that is being emulated. This thing is sweet. My tab button doesn't work when I'm in mutt, but I can live without it.

Shaun

works great if using it from my mobile phone. Would be stellar with support for the keyboard on my tf201/transformer prime. I'd even pay up to $5 for this app if it supported my keyboard dock. It would be awesome if the Ctrl,Tab and shift keys were supported. I use VIM all the time, and it's just a little too difficult when using a touch screen for key combinations. I use tab auto complete and for indentations when coding too!

Douglas

I first used this with the G1, and it was great. 4 years later I went to t-mobile to replace my phone and found only the Sidekick 4G to have a useable keyboard for Unix work--in fact it gives me a readable 100x26 text terminal! The 4-row keyboard on all other phones and lack of a trackball/nub button makes using this a little more painful--so go get yourself a 5-row kb device. I've used this to write programs and work on my Linux desktop and other servers from anywhere. No more time waisted. Thanks!

I tried to change the font size to be large enough to read (I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1), but then the cursor no longer aligned with the text. ALso, only wants to use the display in portrait mode. However, worst is that it doesn't recognize the TAB key on an external keyboard. I had no idea how often I used TAB until then! Of these, making the font more controllable in size is my #1 issue (and then having it work with the new font size).
