Prompt 2 is paid iOS app published by Panic, Inc.
Latest version breaks agent forwarding
Colo Admin
I've been a paid Prompt user for a year or so and absolutely loved the app. Unfortunately the latest version has made a very serious change to security which renders it unusable for me. In prior versions, Prompt supported agent forwarding, key-based authentication and storing of key pass phrases as three unique features you can choose to make use of, which is how it should be. In 2.5, agent forwarding is no longer usable with key-based authentication UNLESS you also save your private key pass phrase on your iOS device. My ssh key pass phrase is not something I want saved on any portable device regardless of how good Apple's encryption is (we'll soon find out with the Apple vs US gov battle over the locked iPhone). So, the fact that I do not want to store my pass phrase on my iPad means I'm no longer able to ssh through one server to another using Prompt and agent forwarding. The old version did it find and didn't force me to save my pass phrase.
Amazing Upgrade

This is a phenomenal upgrade from version 1. Only thing I believe it is lacking is the ability to copy the connections from Promp to Prompt 2 with the click of a single button.
Nice job

Now with the split screen, this truly is the best ssh app out there. The syncing works awesome, and the app as a whole is worth every cent. Good job guys
Just keeps getting better and better

Oh Prompt, how doest I love thee? Let me count the ways. On second thought, the ways are too numerous to count. Certainly more ways than Paul Simon has to lose his lover, or a cat can be skinned, or outages can ruin a network admin's weekend. Just today, I hit the "select text opens servers list" bug only to find an update with fix in the App Store literally a few minutes later. Nice. Split screen on iPad Pro? Excellent. 3D Touch to launch most recent sessions? Beautiful. New fonts and flexible themes? Bliss.
Great ssh app

Prompt is a wonderful ssh app. I don't know why it's not at the top of the results for ssh, it should be. It works well and has a nice layout to use to access to all the keyboard keys you might want to hit. This is the ssh app you want.
Steady cadence of updates is awesome

Look, this SSH Terminal was among the best when it first arrived. But Panic doesn't rest on its laurels, particularly not on Ides o' March... Their pursuit of perfection is relentless. Recent updates are NOT JUST BUG FIXES: for instance, ECDSA support is Very Much Appreciated. Re-tooling for iPad Pro has been added, and I look forward to trying it out. Panic have been exemplary Mac and iOS developers for a long time. Based on their track record, I trust them to continue improving this already great app.
Well done!

We requested, and Panic listened. I was holding out on an iPad pro because development and administration wouldn't have been worth it without updates features. Right on queue, Panic's update is making it hard for me to say no!
Simply the best

I was already happy with the 2.0 update. But 2.5 and beyond have really knocked it out of the park with a lot of nice little touches that I don't know I wanted until I saw them. Way to go, Panic.
Makes the iPad a serious productivity tool!

I've been a fan of Panic apps for a while, but now with Prompt I can easily SSH into my development environments, turning an iPad Pro into an all-round productivity tool. External keyboard recommended. Thoroughly pleased, and look forward to the updates!
