Almost awesome – Get Console Review

I'm a network admin and have worked with lots of terminal apps on many platforms, from procomm plus and an app to get console sessions into Cisco gear on my PalmPilot to more recently iSSH, TouchTerm and SecureCRT for Mac and iPad. I really like the 'Get Console' advanced options to import saved sessions from SecureCRT and PuTTY, but unfortunately that feature doesn't work. I like that I can sync sessions between my iPad and IPhone with iCloud, but that doesn't work either (but Dropbox does - mostly). I like that I can create login scripts, which does work, but a script can only be used for one device, then it disappears and has to be re-created from scratch. I like that it saves passwords, but you can only recall them from the iPad app, not the iPhone, and the passwords don't appear to sync. Generally, the app seems to work - it will give a console session via ssh, and the red park console adapter cable works for direct serial connections, but it is clunky, has lost my saved sessions several times, is unintuative, and just tough to get set up. I haven't attempted transferring capture files and configs - I've been so annoyed at trying to just get connections set up I haven't gotten that far.
