5/5So far so good
It’s amusing to see reviews from users who have very little or no idea on how to use this app. For users who have extensive experience with Linux shells and CLI, it becomes readily clear what this app is for. There are limitations on what this app can do, but the capabilities it already has can come in handy in certain situations. For a more powerful app, try LibTerm or a-Shell, both of which were open source and available for free on the App Store as of this writing. For users who have never used CLI on Linux, I suggest that you first learn it and use it on Linux for real-world useful stuff for maybe a couple weeks or months until you are really comfortable with it, before tackling this or other similar apps.

5/5Confused after upgrading to premium
I just ugraded to premium and now when I select options from the settings menu it opens the wrong one, e.g. I wasn't planning on leaving this review, I wanted to change the size of the font and when I clicked the option to change the font size it brought me here...-____- UPDATE: After relaunching the app everything seems normal

5/5Just needs a better way of explaining
Yet right now I don’t know the real potential of this app and the way it teaches should have been like the desktop cmd to where in the text it gives examples and what it can use with it. Overall I feel amazing having this on my phone though. Even though I’m kinda confused about it.

5/5Good for Linux users-Initial review
Honestly pretty good for its price, I like the customizations and the shortcuts with typing and the file shortcut I personally use Linux so this app is really good and easy to use imo than most terminal apps

1/5Nothing works
Most of the commands are not installed and developer website doesn’t seem real don’t think it’s the real developer probably coded with hidden malicious scripts etc. Like I said more then half of the commands, modules etc don’t work I didn’t know I was paying for just the shell, no repos etc. every other app comes full with the basics I also did a search on line for open term and the links were dead because open term was removed. I imagine that’s why your website is http only. Scam. Otherwise refund my purchase please.
