Best SSH app; needs minor touch up! – Prompt 2 Review

I really like this SSH app. It tries to do only the necessities and I think it overall does that very well. I have several suggestions that I'm certain others also have: 1. The color themes are very low contrast compared to what I'd prefer. Just try weechat with either of the dark themes - the channel name on the bottom bar is not very readable. On my own computer I used Gnome Terminal's tango color scheme. 2. Prompt 2 hides the onscreen keyboard on app switch, then shows the onscreen keyboard upon return to Prompt 2. When using curses apps this triggers multiple resizes, effectively making the SSH session unusable for a few seconds upon switching back to Prompt 2. This behavior is much more obvious when using tmux over a slow connection. 3. The top bar is always visible when in landscape mode on the iPhone 6+, halving the total possible vertical height thought possible. 4. Maybe I missed something, but for some weird reason Prompt 2 insists on running bash on login, which is completely irresponsible since SSH is used outside of UNIX-likes; not to mention not everybody uses bash on UNIX-likes. Can't Prompt 2 simply default to allowing the login shell to run?
