Just to get back on track... besides the ones mentioned so far, what are the features you all think are missing in an SSH client?

Do any of these terminal apps permit logging of command chains i.e. as with desktop terminal you simply push the up arrow to retrieve commands recently executed?

For the casual user this can be very useful, and the determining factor in a purchase for me personally because of how I use terminal.

As for price sure if someone wants to make it available free let them, but if it has the features a user needs I don’t see why a couple thank you bucks isn’t reasonable for there effort. I think if an app was $0.50 you would still here some cry why isn’t it $0.25….if the app fits your needs and you can afford it (lets be realistic most prices are a fantastic value) then buy it, if not then wait for a fee app to come along or don’t.

BTW thanks for the effort and research to see what the user wants in an app.

you can recall previous commands in iSSH by swiping upwards on the left side of the screen to simulate pressing the up key.

Hello canadacow,

As you asked for features, I would like to see:

Command templates
Ability to create custom commands templates. To trigger them you could make a special keyboard with 1, 2, 3, 4 and when we press those keys the command would be written.

Login
It would be cool to define a password for the login

App password to start
With a definied 'PIN' or something for easy input (this if we have password's defined to connect to servers)

Font Size and Zooming
I find the font size to be too small, it would be cool to define a bigger font and ability to zoom sometimes

Keep up the good work, hope you bring some of this features up.
Thanks for this app! I'm lovin' it :)
