Remote management

Hibbt

I love being able to manage my servers remotely. The app is really well done and I appreciate all the attention to detail. Great work folks!

I absolutely love this app. It really helps when I'm traveling and need to run ssh on my managed servers. Quick, easy to use. The night mode or dark themes is great and the keyboard functionality is spot on. Yes you can run commands like CLT + C... etc. Definitely recommend for hobbyists or professionals that need a mobile terminal.

Works well, worth the money

This ios ssh app is useful for real server work. I've tried several other ios ssh apps, and they all have at least one fatal flaw that will keep them from working properly. This app is solid and functional, well worth the money. My only desire is that there be a way to change the timeout period via keep alives or whatever, it times out too quickly sometimes. Dropping a star because of that. (running ios 10 on ipad)

Pretty good

This is a pretty good ssh client but it has a few annoying little bugs such as the command prompt sometimes being hidden under the on screen keyboard.

Love this

Since Coda is the #1 go to app in my toolkit it's no surprise I love Prompt also. Two stellar Pro apps. Prompt doesn't stand out quite as much from the field as Coda does, but it's definitely a solid SSH client and worth the money. Since disconnecting seems to be an inevitable part of iPad ssh client life, I'd love to see some support for persistent connections with integration with screen or something similar.

Works!

This is exactly what I needed to SSH into my cloud server! Works mostly as expected. There was one time when I lost the keyboard and wasn't sure how to bring it back without relaunching the app. Otherwise, great tool!

Lacks iCloud sync, instead they want you to use their sync service. ask yourself, why should you trust Panic's cloud service? Why would you want yet another account? I would like to rate it higher but lack of iCloud support keeps me from doing so. I don't care that their sync service is "FREE"... in fact, "FREE" makes me a bit leery. Yea, so please... PLEASE... add iCloud support.

Decent app marred by proprietary sync feature

toolbear

An otherwise 4-star app marred by a proprietary syncing solution when iCloud sync would be sufficient, seamless, and far better usability. But how else is Panic going to get you to give them your email address? That sort of "you are the product" grab shouldn't be included in an app I paid for.

Not the no 1 ssh client for iPhone!!!

RobbieL811

How are you gonna claim to be the #1 ssh client for iPhone, and NOT support ssh tunneling in your app!?!?!? That's just crazy!!! Nothing special here. Not worth $15 for sure!!!

Most Beautiful

I am changing my original review after discovering that editing files containing emojis with vim completely breaks Prompt 2. This is very sad because I was planning on using emojis in our school lessons and now cannot without throwing out the iPad and using Macbook Airs instead. ==== original Prompt 2 is the only Menlo-font-supporting, anti-aliased, emoji/unicode, true xterm-256 supporting terminal in the entire app store. I tried them all (and paid for them). The top priority for a terminal is that it be supremely easy to look at for hours and hours and take seconds to login. Prompt nails this. As for ssh, this app does exactly the minimum needed for 99% of developers who have moved to the cloud. (Who the f*** is using Telnet these days, lol?) The time to move to iPad Pro development workflow has come, for most. Digital Ocean, among others, has replaced the local development workflow for many and more will follow. Prompt will be a key tool in the conversion as it is today. As a long time Macbook Pro and UNIX/Linux command line user and who uses and teaches VIM for everything (sorry Coda, until you have a vim mode I'm not interested—especially for Go and C development) I have particularly high standards and was ready to chuck this like all the rest. But no, instead, it was so good it has convinced me to recommend it as standard to all my students and to actually make the move to iPad Pros for our entire school replacing the Air (before Apple gets rid of them or replaces them all with their dominating ARM chip). Prompt is so beautiful we have decided at SkilStak to drop our long-time Solarized theme preference, (which makes command-line programming more entertaining for particularly young programmers), and replace with the equally beautiful (and less flawed) Panic Pallette. Thank you Panic. You are my latest addition to favorite companies to watch.
