Pros and cons of SimpleSSH - SSH Commands, File Viewer & Terminal app for iPhone and iPad

SimpleSSH - SSH Commands, File Viewer & Terminal app good for

This app does exactly what I wanted it for. I can easily make and use buttons in the app to run scripts on my pi to do whatever I want (I control my AC and lights with it thru an IR transceiver). If needed it can also do direct command input, but I dont use that much.
I bought this after owning iTransmit and Prompt from Panic Inc. While iTransmit and Prompt are good, I find myself using SimpleSSH more than Prompt because of the easy command board. You just click a command and it colors it green on 0 stderr, red on nonzero stderr. AWESOME. Boards are grouped per server if you want.
Very useful to controll a raspberry pi. A grouping functionality in the commands tab would be nice. This Version is a lot more stable.
Im using this app to control all my game servers via dyndns and it works perfectly. You can execute every command with one click and you get feedback from the server instantly. You can all login info and data and the overview of the app is beautiful. Never had a crash or any other problems. The only thing is that I dont like the green color that much maybe you could put in an option to select an different color that shouldnt be that hard. Thanks for this app keep up the good work.
Gave this app a try to SSH into my BeagleBone Black and it works 100%. Tried other programs and had no luck but this ones a winner.
Raspberry をコントロールために使えて、とても便利です。

Some bad moments

As promised, terminal emulation is… primitive. Tab stops arent implemented. There is no ESC key, so dont expect to run vi.
Just what I was looking for was wondering if we could get a black background when In terminal mode though
Awesome, allows commands to be run from a single tap. This is exactly what I was looking for.
The shell is great. Shows everything and can easily scroll all the way up and down. But the file viewer crashes when you hit the folder with the glasses on it.
I highly recommend this app. The onboarding tutorial got me up and running in no time. After I connected to my server, I found the colored-text on black color scheme tasteful.
Great app and concept, responsive developer. Iphone 6 optimized.
