LibTerm Reviews

by BenjPhoto

When I try to ssh into a local server a white square covers the screen. I assume it should be asking for parameters, or setting up a preset, or something.

It’s not completely useless. I can ping the server with it. But that’s not what I wanted to do.

You will notice the last update was over a year ago. In my case its been two years ago. I went to GITHUB where you’re supposed to be able to contact the developer. Sent 3 emails with no response.

Don’t try and use LibTerm , after I installed it, I noticed “iPhoneOS sdk” was some how installed. I couldn’t use it because my phone is not jail broken (I think). I have no tools to determine this, but just having this application on my phone could provide hackers who do know how to access your phone and use it is a big concern.

I’m not sure if the developer even exists anymore. GitHub should ensure developers haven’t left their site, leaving everyone who downloads something from the AppStore hanging without away to report problems.

DON’T BOTHER TRYING TO USE THIS

There’s not much included with this, other than ping and basic Whois information available. Even something as basic as an ssh client/shell results in nothing more than a prompt to pay for something else that actually accomplishes something.

Not terrible, but there’s just not much here.

It doesn’t seem possible to enter a “tab” character without an external keyboard, making it quite useless for an iPhone. Also, after pressing close, it would be nicer to have a cancel button, not just save or not save.

Is there a way to use this app to format SD Cards with a card reader? If not having the option to would be super helpful.

Can we get a color command lol I can’t stand green text , I need dark blue , and also could use a little more commands but still a good app I like it a lot , would be 5 ⭐️without these little flaws 😎

If this would let you sudo to root on your iPad, now that would be something. Just a tiny little sandbox with extremely limited function otherwise.

Simply put: you can’t change the port number that the ssh command uses.

If you want a local command line, this is the bomb. Some rough edges because iOS != Unix, but the developer is on top of it.

I like it a lot it allows me to ping IP address so I can see if they work or not but it ends after the 7th one. Ik it’s not lynix but please put more capabilities like the “natmask, natstat, and more”

Some modules work but some don’t. A bit frustrating but I can’t complain. Good app.

This is a great terminal app for iOS. New or existing textfiles can be edited with the edit command which is nice. Is there any way that a new color scheme can be incorporated into LibTerm like amber on a black background? Thanks.

I get “bus error” messages after doing about 10 DNS DIG queries. After 5 of those errors, I end up getting segmentation faults after subsequent queries. Closing and re-opening LibTerm fixes this until 10 more queries are made.

Pretty excellent app otherwise!

by J3Langford

There is a tremendous amount of work accomplished in the portfolio of apps this belongs to. LibTerm is the bridging of a gap for iOS that is unmatched. If you know anything about the ways of the terminal, you will be very pleased.

I love LibTerm , was hoping for maybe some tab support?

LibTerm is the only way that you can use shell commands on files that are on your iPad. But it's not good for being a development environment; I would recommend PythonAnywhere (it's a website, not an app) for that.

by AmirHY1

It was awesome
I had no idea that something like LibTerm existed
But now I just want to know if you’re going to make this able to install nodejs
It’s going to so cool if you do that 😬😬👍🏻

Update has fixed the issue. Thank you for the quick response.

by Ashokgtm

I see it very good feature if it can add few options:
1- Add ash keys to auto connect to servers.
2- list of commands to pre-add and run in a click

This really helps in emergencies to fix something from phone while on the go.

You can charge for this feature, people will pay for it.

After download it and use it a while ,it is a very good app ,maybe It can not do something like the desktop terminal , but it makes the ipad more like a real pc rather than a big iphone .If the develop can continue his development Constantly .In my opinion ,one day Apple may make a real terminal for ipad os,And LibTerm may be a good alternative that time

The only way I could

At last, a command line for iphone. Gives me the basics: nslookup, ping, etc. I no longer have to log into a unix box to run simple commands. LOVE IT!
