1. 5/5A must-have for the mobile IT professional.

   I couldn’t be more pleased with this software. The more I use it, the more I like it. Very intuitive and feature-rich SSH client. The dashboard for server stats is an amazing feature. I don't think the dashboard stat display works for any systems other than Debian / Ubuntu servers, but it still works for SSH access on any type system. The ability to fire off saved SSH commands on my servers with one tap or perform Docker container management on the fly from my phone is so powerful and convenient. Most systems management software on my phone. 5/5

2. 4/5Great app, a few drawbacks

   This app is great, for the most part. It works well for managing all of my servers and the server status page works great. Some issues I have been encountering is the app crashes on MacOS the first time you open it after a reboot, closing and reopening the app fixes this until you restart so it’s not a huge issue. Syncing of servers between devices is so slow it may as well not exist. The container management feature has also not worked for me. Me nit picking on the app a little bit here, with my use case I use a vpn for connecting to my servers a lot. Server cat does not handle losing its connection very graciously and I would love if it could regain its ssh connections on vpn termination and reconnection. Overall I would have given it 5 stars if was not for the aforementioned bugs.

3. 5/5If you manage multiple devices, you need this app - now with support for macOS!

   I’ve been a fan of ServerCat for a long time. It’s a fantastic tool for monitoring *NIX hosts, and with support for ssh keys and a built-in ssh client, it provides a frictionless monitor to manage cycle. In fact, my only complaint was that macOS wasn’t supported (understandable, since it requires a fundamentally different monitoring mechanism). That’s changed with this most recent release. macOS is now supported! Outstanding work ServerCat team. Thanks for continuing to support and improve the app. Six stars!

4. 5/5Great way to monitor Raspberry Pi clusters!

   I’ve been using this app for several months now, and I gotta say it’s my go-to for monitoring my server cluster I have at home. I was surprised to see that if I’m running docker containers on my system, ServerCat will populate them in the server’s information pane which is helpful to get some basic info on containers I have running. Some features I wish we had: -Being able to save docker instances that are already running by reading env files and storing them in the “Pods” section, so we can easily kill, change, and start container instances. -Being able to change “Pods” to “Containers” if we are not using Kubernetes instances. -Configuring a VPN inside of ServerCat so we can just open ServerCat, connect to the VPN, and monitor servers without first going into iPhone/iPad settings and switching on VPN. -A desktop app would be incredible, even just a port of the iPad version to MacOS would be amazing. -Snippets are great, but feel a little clunky the way I use them. I use snippets to store and run common commands on my servers, but I wish each server had its own “Snippets” button so I wouldn’t have to pick a snippet, and then a server constantly. Maybe even make it so a snippet can be created, and add servers that can use that snippet, and then each server in the servers tab with access to that snippet would have a new “snippets” button with snippets that server can use. -Maybe a way to configure how information appears in the server information tab? I can see net traffic and disk usage, but not really in a way that’s easy for me to understand. It would be nice to set variables for those to change what is showing or what units it uses, or even just percentages of ram/disk usage. Some toggles of what shows up in the rings would be fantastic. -Please, PLEASE, let us choose Celsius or Fahrenheit for server core temps. I’m much more used to Celsius for these things over Fahrenheit. -I’m sure I’ll think of more over time. But this app is really fantastic. It’s a great, visual, and easy to use application for monitoring multiple servers. Thank you!

5. 4/5Great design but connections are a bit slow

   Connections take a few extra seconds to connect vs other SSH apps. The design is great and the quick access to system status and the process list is a great addition. It would be nice to add a button to enable scroll back and swipe and hold gestures for arrow keys like in Shelly. I use byobu and when I connect to a server running it the status bar repeats over and over as it refreshes rather than refreshing the one line. This issue doesn’t app in Shelly or Prompt. Hope to see more updates to address these but it’s a good start so far!
