While the app will "get the job done", it would benefit from some basic UI improvements to make it much simpler to use. For the SFTP piece specifically, it would be beneficial to allow "reverse" sorting so that you can get to newer, more recent files much more quickly (for devices that name video files based on date and time stamp, for example - they are at the END of the list by default).

Wonderful app. I use it daily to connect remotely. I do wish there were a pro tier for single seat users that was not subscription-based. I'm simply unwilling to sign up for any subscription, as I'd rather pay for my applications once and be done with it. Perhaps an option exists that would fulfill my interests and retain the subscription structure. A one-time donation page, that currently does not exist. Just a thought. What an excellent app.

knocking down an excellent app to 3-star because it turned into a free trial & requires a subscription. I will gladly pay a decent amount for the app on all my platforms. I do not wish to be forced to pay for features I do not need or want. Termius does a great job at the basics. The extra features actually just make the app harder to use. PREVIOUSLY: with cross-platform support on Android & iPadOS, hands down a winner. it does a great job managing my keychain & multiple host connections.

Needed a replacement for another SSH client app that became buggy. I was pleasantly surprised that Termius not only worked flawlessly, but it also has a bunch of quality-of-life features that couldn't be more intuitive and easy to use. Also, there are no ads. I've actually gone looking for the in-app purchase just to show the devs some support, but I couldn't find it. Perhaps it's related to the cloud sync feature, which I don't want to use (and don't have to).

Fantastic client. It's easy to use, keyboard enhancements are useful, and I love the ability to use hardware-backed keys. Seriously the best Android SSH client I've used. HOWEVER, I do wish there was a one-time purchase option for the pro features. I would gladly pay a good bit of money for this client, but like many here, I refuse to pay for yet another a subscription out of principle. Heck, you could leave out the cloud stuff, which some of us don't care about.

Fantastic app! I just wish premium didn't cost $10/mo. If I were using it in my day job, perhaps it would be worth it, but just using it to ssh into some boxes in my homelab from time to time, it isn't worth it. It would be awesome if we could just pay a one time fee for Android only and promise not to use it for monetary gain, then if we did, we could subscribe to the $10/mo version.

An absolutely incredible app for an SSH client. I use it for emergencies when I need to work remotely, and this app performs perfectly. Other apps have crashed when they've had to display too much information at once, and they've been difficult to configure which keys were easily accessible just above the keyboard. This app has no such problems. You can easily configure which keys appear above the keyboard, it has a compact and handy swipe method for inputting arrow commands, and no crashes.

Although I very much like the app and current free features, not to mention the lack of ads in the free version, I'm very disappointed that there's not a one-time payment option. I still believe the app deserves the 5 stars because it's very well made and easy to use, but a one-time payment option should really be added. Not many users want to pay another monthly or yearly fee for something.

This looks like a top notch tool with a well designed interface. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have an option to adjust the font size which makes it COMPLETELY useless inside an environment like Samsung DEX which is how I'm using it. Unless you're using a touch screen with the ability to pinch-zoom you will not be able to read anything. I hope they add a font size feature to the settings in the future.

I love the app, hands down best terminal emulator/ssh client for mobile. But I'm really upset to find the premium features are now subscription only and at quite a cost. I remember the premium version being a one time payment. I had come to the decision that I wanted to pay for the extended features, but I will not pay that much. I'm now tempted to look elsewhere for an app that provides those features at a reasonable cost.

The SSH part of this app works as expected. But when I tried to copy about a hundred of DNG files to my workstation, to my surprise I could not find a way to select ALL files for transfer. It is either impossible or the option to select all files is well hidden. Also, I could not find FAQ or manual for the app on Terminus site, only marketing pitches. Also, it would be nice to be able to provide a full SSH or SFTP command as if you are typing it in a shell. And the same for working within SFTP.

Makes Chromecast obsolete ! So far after a couple of weeks I'm well pleased with the app', it's made my Chromecast redundant and it's just so much quicker and simpler. I wanted to be able to ssh into my pc upstairs and play any downloaded movies, which I can easily by casting from my OPPO FindX 9Pro, I'm sure given a bit more fiddling, I'll be able to make AirDroid redundant as well!

The app is polished, looks great, and works well—at first. But the paid version is wildly overpriced. Charging $10/month just to sync with my own cloud storage is absurd. Worse, sessions constantly drop whenever my phone switches between cellular and Wi-Fi, forcing me to reconnect every time. That alone makes it unusable.

Top app that does what it says on the tin. I can connect to my home Linux computers and LibreELEC media server for command line working easily and simply. And, with the use of a VPN, I can connect when away from home. Even better now the features that were in the paid for version are now in the free version.

terminus is an amazing app if you need to connect to a remote server remotely and easily. highly recommended for its ease of use, simplistic UI, and overall a breeze to use. I am genuinely happy to use this app. No ads from what I have seen, and no pay walled content (that I know of).

I have been using this for years. While not a power user, I definitely enjoy having the option to SSH into things without my laptop. today I reinstalled the app and it asked me to pay an annual subscription or monthly subscription to keep using the app. I was pretty discouraged by this. The second time I logged into the app it didn't ask me to pay. I'm not sure what's going on. Otherwise very pleased.

Fantastic app that excels at its goals. No noticeable paywaledl featureds or ads. There are a few futures I would love to see added, but overall very happy I clicked downloaded!

it could be the best terminal for Android phones if not two issues: don't size jumps to small every time I switch to another app (setting it in settings doesn't help) and there's no ability to hide the tab bar, which occupies useful space at the top of the screen.

I'm not sure how this app can have such high ratings if it can't even do the most basic thing keep open an SSH connection, just by exit the app or the display going off it will kill the connection

I haven't explored the online and AI part of Terminus yet, but it was so easy to set up and ssh in to my Linux box. And the auto complete suggestions are spot on and a blessing! Thank you Terminus!
