good ssh, slow to fix bad bugs, no clone server – Termius: Terminal & SSH client Review

jan2020- turning off wifi (and going to LTE) you have to close terminus and reopen else you can connect to any servers (instantly says connection failed when you tap a host). +still does not have clone host function +still does not have an export all hosts function (i’m not trusting any cloud sync system for hosts, as a result it’s incredibly cumbersome to every get a new iphone or do an icloud restore as you have to manually re-enter all your hosts!) +i’ve purchased Prompt2 ios ssh app and will see how that goes (and have started to move my hosts over to that from terminus, will update here) dec 2019-how do you all still not have the clone/duplicate host feature??? it’s been on the feature request board as “on road map” for well over 3 years now. this is a critical missing feature.. nov 2019- still lots of gui bugs (mainly around the search hosts function) , very slow to release updates. nov2018- they really need to add the clone server function, it’s not convenient for myself like many admin‘s who may have hundreds of servers to manage , to not have a clone server function (in terms of your server connect settings in info) Aug 28 2018 - i’m not sure why we still can’t clone or copy a host, thus making entry of a similar device easy ( ie a device that might be one IP address/Octet different, but all else is the exact same). There is one “work around” for cloning hosts but it’s a horrible method which requires you to first connect to the host I’m also not sure why we still can’t swipe left/right on hosts to edit or perform other actions. The reason I say why we still can’t, is because in the feedback form within the app users have been requesting these features for several years. ——- Update (feb 20 2018): issues have been fixed by dev. (Dec 18 2017) As of recent update about 2-3 months ago (the update where they added location services background keep alive), nearly 50 of my Terminus bookmarks/devices freeze right after opening their ssh connection, prior to the update, I had not had any issues in 4 years+ of terminus use. I can still connect to the same devices via telnet without any issues, but using SSH , as soon as the connection opens the app freezes. I have tested this on various other iOS devices, including a freshly reset device. The freeze issue exists on all iOS devices. I Was in touch with the developers, they requested several screen recordings and remote SSH access into a sample device w the issue, which they did connected to, but they then stopped any replies / updates to me nearly a month ago. Of course putty and other SSH clients have no issue connecting to the devices ( mikrotik routerOS , and some fedora Linux boxes) , and obviously terminus had no issue connecting to these devices prior to that update. I will update this review to 4 or 5 stars when the issue is resolved, but it’s very frustrating to have nearly 100 devices entered manually into terminus app, and then a update one day stops half of them from working.
