I tested 1.3 successful, both on the iphone and ipad. Unfortunately, Apple's "red buttons" (aka notifications) made me update exactly 4days before the 1st field use (leaving the brick in the hotel). It was a desaster. Ipad version kept crashing and iphone version was almost unresponsive. Had to call in co-worker to be my eye and fingers. I would have expected an app aiming for the professional in the field more tested before launching. So beware and test after each new version has been released !!!

Fantastic App

This app is a fantastic console app for the ipad / iphone. Works great on all my equipment and while i know theres a lot of comments to the use of redpark rj45 cable, i prefer that cable as its a smaller easier to pack cable. Its easy to have some adapters at hand for it. Also good to mention this works on Motorola tut system's. Direct serial works amazing, telnet and ssh both do as well. As a future improvement it would be great to see an option to proxy for individual saved telnet / ssh configs.

It just works....

This app is very neat and simply does the job. As a heavy iPad user, this saves me from having to carry a laptop to the datacenter.

Some cool features coming

I have this app, but it doesn't currently support 115,200 baud. I have been told this will be supported with the next cable using USB. This will be a great asset to the design engineering community replacing putty and USB to Serial cables on laptops. Good Job, Chris

Awesome Console Application

I've tried many console applications for iOS, but none that combine a hardware serial adapter with an excellent telnet/SSH implementation. The features within the console software are clearly well thought out and the product of working with people who actually need and use this type of software.

Great App

I am a Cisco Academy Instructor and this app has opened many doors for instuction. I just got the app yesterday....and the students barely let ME play with it! I teach 11th and 12th graders and it is pretty hard to actually impress them since they have grown up using technology but they LOVED this app. Some of their comments: It was AWESOME! Easy to use, pretty cool. Can we all get iPads now and get rid of the computers? I plan to use this to view student configs while they are doing labs. I can check for correctness, change configs as desired without them seeing what I am doing, and allow students to troubleshoot other students' configs.

Get Console is very good

This is hands down the best terminal app out there - ive pretty much tried them all of them now - does serial connections, telnet, ssh - imports your existing sessions from SecureCRT and Putty (I had 300 saved connections in SecureCRT on my laptop - now all in Get Console). I havent had it crash on me yet. This latest version does Dropbox for log files etc, and also finally does multisession, and also does full terminal scripting. Ive used the fancy screen sharing thing as well which worked well. All in all very good. Keep up the good work.

I would give it five stars if it would save IP addresses. When you SSH or Telnet to a switch or router, you use IP addresses and not Hostnames. Hostnames are good for websites and not switches or routers. You can use IP addresses, but it does not save them.

Good App with More on the Way

When I first purchased this app and the cable I ran in to a couple issues. The first, and in my opinion most important part of any app, thing I discovered is that the developer is both actively working on improvements and very responsive to issues and ideas. You can feel comfortable knowing that your $65 investment in the app and cable are going to be viable for some time to come. That said, the limitation in the current version is with the particular SSH implementation. It does not support v1, which yes, I do run in to. The dev has informed me this is changing soon though with more features on the way. That is about the only limitation I have found. The tie in to Dropbox, ability to script, import putty and SecureCRT profiles, built in password manager, etc. all set this app apart from anything else in the app store. Another cool feature also unique is the ability to share a session over the web with an engineer that is sitting remote. In the real world that can be very useful. I look forward to future improvements and would not hesitate to recommend this app to anyone.
