No soft keyboard by anonym Soft keyboard doesn't work at all on Android 5.1.0 ? 1/5
Missing commands by anonym It could use some commands like ipconfig or tracert or hosts -l and -t other then that it's awesome 4/5
by anonym Does what it is suppose to do...DX. (UPDATE 5/11/2016) After several years and Android devices later this app is still flawless. Thanks to the developer. Cheers! 5/5
Very Good by anonym i used kingroot to root my phone then replace the permissions to super su using this app thanks. 5/5
Its very useful but by anonym I seem cannot paste anything from clipboard. Can someone help me? 3/5
tty forever!!! by anonym this app is apart of my daily "tinkerings". nice work!!! tty forever!!! Update 12/08/2015 thankful for the little things that make andoid so great and this app is a must for a true cli user. 5/5
A terminal by anonym When you need a terminal, this app does the job perfectly, never had any issues. 5/5
Simply great by anonym Keyboard input didn't work in landscape mode though. Please fix 4/5
Works Very Good by anonym Though for some CLI applications I need Alt-Key emulation (e.g. irssi), which is not included. 4/5
Well done. by anonym Simple, well-built, & no strings attached. Great app by a developer w/a good attitude. Thanks! 5/5
I LOVEEE YOUUUU by anonym IVe been trying to change my install location for years but it wouldn't let me on PC. OMG IT WORKED Here, this is the best! 5/5
Hilight? by anonym The command grep is used to find a word in some file and hilight in.. In the emulator, the file text is displayed but the word won't hilight. Solvable? 4/5
Good by anonym I see some complaints for this but it works just fine. Top, ls, cd, exit . . .Volume down + c will kill the running command just like it always does (Ctrl + C). 4/5
Auto download autoplay.apk by anonym When I have this running every time I unlock the screen from sleep, ads with auto download run. Its not my root or any other apps. So I wondering if its safe to use. And I had this one time the app promo me to download something by charging my carrier. Is this normal? 2/5
xperia e by anonym works great but how to get root access? My phone is rooted but I can't use sudo as I don't have any password 5/5
Good key mapping. Easy to use by anonym Tried a few terminal emus and I still think this one just works best when switching from desktop keyboard to phone keyboard. I can run htop and to quit just hold vol-dn + c. If I have to CD into some directory, vol-up + t for Tab. Of I want to run previous commands vol-up + w for up and vol-up + s for down. Also ssh, vim work well in here and can reliably work on remote servers from my phone in case of emergency. Hopefully I'll never have too though. 5/5
by anonym Simple yet powerful, i like the idea of having vol button as modifier, which we really need to simulate keyboard command. 5/5
New version not working by anonym Its a good app but after update to latest it says "unfortunately terminal emulator has stopped" SGS2 RUNNING CYANOGENOMOD 11 M12 31 MARCH NIGHTLY. 5/5
I Love it !! by anonym Superb app i love it vry much thank u for this amazing app.. 5/5
Doesn't paste commands by anonym Comaand cant be copy pasted..You have to write big commands all over gain..Otherwise its good. 1/5
android $:/ by anonym not show up sometimes have to wait, fix it ,give you 5 2/5
Ingenious by anonym Well designed, easy to use, practical shortcuts (hot key for tab, ctrl, F buttons etc). 5/5
So annoyed by anonym Ughhh I type in ip link show, hit enter, and nothing happens.what the heck am I doing wrong? I'm not very high tech, but I'm not dumb either, and I'm following very precise step by step instructions and I'm getting nowhere.so far only step completed correctly was to download the ap.I'm so annoyed.why does many websites give same directions of typing ip link show but NOTHING happens when I do? 1/5
This app is from the dark ages by anonym No easy copy and paste or tab ability. Terminal usage is suppose to be quick. Volume keys method is junk and buggy. 1/5
Still The Best!!! by anonym Reliable, straightforward, no surprises - this goes on every device I use & all my friends' & clients', too. It's a genie in a bottle, PC tower power in your pocket or purse. Thank you! 5/5
Google Keyboard broke Control Characrers by anonym There was a Google keyboard update resulting in meta-c not working for instance. 1/5
A must have for all ICT work. by anonym One of the first tools I sought out when I got my first android phone. Have been using this terminal ever since. Well done dev! 5/5
I love this by anonym I'm sure to sound like a noob but I didn't think much about my phone being organized much like my Linux system at home until this app made it simple to poke around the shell. And without having the worry of rooting my connection to the world! Btw, I'd recommend switching to "Hacker's Keyboard" whenever using this, in order to take advantage of the arrow keys, function keys, etc. 5/5
by anonym Very useful. Although, I think the language is difficult but I guess it's irrelevant. It's just really hard to write on tiny touch-screen (just to show reality) but at least it can be used to fix files anywhere. To me, it's fine as it is; I like it lightweight. 5/5
A wonderful discovery! by anonym It's come in handy for running simple commands but where it really shines, at least for me, are the key shortcuts and ability to set commands to execute immediately the terminal is started. I set "su" then "pkill mediaserver" since it quickly frees the mediaserver when trying to catch a moment on photo but camera can't because something else is engaging the server. It's all done so fast since I keep its icon in my notification bar (along a few others). 5/5
Nice basic (yet powerful) terminal emulator by anonym I'm not a programmer and it would be nice to have available "paste" functionality (wink wink). Good job Jack. 4/5
ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IVE EXER USED! by anonym First of all THANK YOU, I could not have ever fixed my tablet without this app and my Mac. This has the potential to be anything conceivable if you know your stuff and have the right binaries. Forget all these massive applications that do one thing, likely you can do it with this! 5/5
Partly insulting by anonym The app is perfectly fine. I have had it for 5 minutes and am satisfied. But as a true developer, the words "Unleash your inner geek" is slightly insulting. Please change that. Another thing, a couple of commands that ARE in other Linux computers like Debian are missing like nano from Android. I believe you should add an alias for it because people will think that you did not "make" things like that 5/5
Help! by anonym I can't see the text that I'm typing. This is so frustrating. Please, help me out here. I'm using Hacker's Keyboard. 5/5
Incredible powerful tool by anonym I love this command line very much and I use it to do what I want on my rooted phone.Unfortunately it bugs very often after the last update.It's really annoying. 5/5
Problem with Intel Processor by anonym For example I Try to Ping my IP address less than 5-10 minutes later... I lost my process ping command... it just blank black like a first time I open the app... Please Dev Fix it... I really need it... on ASUS Zenfone 5 Last KitKat 40.54. Thanks Dev... 4/5
Great little terminal by anonym A soft ui based toggle alternative to the hardware keys would be preferable as they are awkward to use other than that this is reliable and I enjoy using it. Thanks. 5/5
Very impressive! by anonym Amazing shortcuts for special keys. I am a dev myself, and NEVER have I thought of such an awesome way to take shortcut input!!! 5/5
Can't Install on zenfone 2 by anonym I needed to install Linux on my phone which depends on terminal emulator. For some reason the won't install on my device(x86 arch problem?) So I couldn't do what I wanted 3/5
