Contact Termius Support

This app was great during the trial period. My favorite feature was that port forwarding didn’t time out after a few minutes, like it does for so many other apps. For two weeks, I was truly able to use my iPad Pro as a mobile workstation, working on Jupyter notebooks hosted on my desktop at work.

Then the free trial expired, and port forwarding sessions began to die in the background after just a minute or two. This breaks the functionality of the app for me, rendering it basically useless. I understand why some of Termius’s advanced features can justifiably be sold as part of a subscription, but the way their pricing is currently structured, the developer gives you a taste of a working app for two weeks and then tries to charge you $100 to not intentionally break the app for one year.

I refuse to pay anyone a subscription to keep them from breaking their own product. Charge me $20 up front and I’d be happy to pay. As it stands, I’ll go back to hauling my laptop around before I give this extortionist developer a cent of my money.

Until recently I would have said Termius is the best terminal app, but others have caught up (Blink is excellent and reasonably priced but fully functional as a free app). Termius got greedy and shady. $120/year is insane - A YEAR. And they do this in a shady way by making it a “web app” so they don’t have to pay Apple their cut, even though without the Apple App Store they wouldn’t even exist. Add to this that they now also collect your data to sell to the highest bidder, it just screams “avoid like the plague”. The subscription price is just absolute extortion for features that many other apps already have, such as not timing out after 60 seconds. Do you need the silly bells and whistles that Termius thinks is worth the exorbitant yearly forever subscription or do you need a shell? You decide.

I’ve used Termius for years and it is a very solid SSH app. However, with recent UI updates, its usefulness has been severely hampered. There are two major problems.

1) You used to be able to put a finger on the terminal screen and drag it in any direction to quickly use the sparrow keys. This functionality, as far as I can tell, has been mostly removed. You can still drag up and down, but key repeat is so fast it is unusable. A new spacebar dragging option has been added, but holding the spacebar for a second or two is extremely inconvenient. The key repeat is also extremely slow for the spacebar cursor movement.

2) This missing cursor movement gestures wouldn’t be a huge deal if the small keyboard toolbar wasn’t also removed. The toolbar had arrow keys in it which work as a decent substitute. The small keyboard toolbar has been replaced by a large keyboard panel which takes up an entire side of the screen. The buttons are further to reach and waste valuable screen space on smaller devices.

As a workaround, I’ll probably be try mapping the volume buttons as up down, but this is not an ideal solution. Please bring back the cursor movement by touching the screen rather than the space bar, and add the small additional keyboard back. The large panel is nice if not all keys fit, but it is not a drop in replacement.
