Comments on ConnectBot for Android

★★★★★ Simple client works well. No weirdness like juice. Two feature requests- 1) Allow copy/paste of hosts for quick duplication. 2) Compact the hosts list, so we can have more per page.
★★★★★ Works, is simple and compact, no features I don't need, I use it both as terminal app for my phone as well as to ssh to my devices when I just need to check some logs.
★★★★★ This is a great SSH app. I've been using it for years, and it always does what I want, no complaints. It does have a couple minor bugs and a few things I wish worked differently (the interface for keys is a little odd), but hey, it's open source, so if you don't like it, go fix it yourself. I have!
★★☆☆☆ This client would probably be great if it used a monospaced font. It doesn't (and it isn't an option), so tty based editors are useless. Too bad, it had promise otherwise
★★☆☆☆ Forces portrait with soft keyboard, truncates key and query for new hosts, so you can't see what you need to, forces landscape the moment a physical keyboard is connected. That's 1 questionable, 1 definite bug, & 1 major irritation in the first minute of use. No, thanks!
★★☆☆☆ Poor documentation. Was unable to connect at any time with the app continually timing out.
★★☆☆☆ I liked this app, but it's now unusable. Although I didn't change any settings (and can't find any setting for it), it now saves all key presses until a word is completed. That's inconvenient, but what makes it unusable is that it sends Ctrl sequences as plain letters too. I tried to do a fresh install, but my phone is lying about the data that it's keeping around (which I'm sure is not the app's fault, I give Google Pixel 2★ too), so I can't even do that.
★★☆☆☆ Crashes Google Messages on NUU A15 (S6512L), Droid 13, security 2023-11-05. Had only two other apps loaded on new phone, and installing this started crashing Messages. Restart, no love. Uninstalled this, and Messages working fine again. Sad, because I've loved this app on my prior phones.
