Falling behind the competition – Prompt 2 Review

2017 UPDATE: They got rid of statusboard, and it seems like they're giving up on this app as well. ServerAuditor (now Termius) has made tons of insane improvements like syncing across ALL of your devices, not just your iOS, or even Apple devices. ALL of them. They even have a command line interface available. Even with all that greatness I was reluctant to make the change, but the deciding factor was definitely the persistent connections. I'm not sure if its the new added Mosh support or what, cause I still get a pop up my sessions will disconnect, but they don't. I can leave the app for two hours, come back, and continue where I left off. So happy to not have to deal with screen or tmux anymore. Screen is nice on Linux since you can disown and reattach a process with Reptyr, but on Mac or Win you're pretty much out of luck and have to restart jobs all over again. I'd rather buy a McDouble and throw it out the window than spend even $0.99 on the App Store. There's no logic, but I just don't like to spend money on apps. $7.99 was outrageous to me even to consider buying anything, which I understand makes no sense. So I pirated this app on Cydia for a good couple months before realizing this app is a steal at $8. Stop looking around for something better, ServerAuditor is really good too, but this app allows you to root into your iPhone if you're jail broken. And for anyone that is, you know all the terminal apps on Cydia are worthless. Do yourself a favor and buy this app, skip lunch today if you need the money.
