I fell in love with a terminal

*syn666* · 9 years ago · v3.3.1

And only because of Cathode, its not only a great SSH client, it offers cool customizations and you feel the love which was put in creating it. It is worth every penny! Thank you ?

so great

great ssh client. everything you need. Id like to import my .ssh/config.

日本語が。。

Hirameki · 9 years ago · v3.3.1

見た目だけでなく使い勝っても悪くありません。 ただ、まだ日本語が、キーボード切り替えだけでは入力出来ず、日本語入力が必須の方は一旦保留した方が良いかと思います。

Its look awesome but:

The most awesome retro SSH client

Avnrk · 9 years ago · v3.3.1

This app is probably the coolest app on my iPad and I have a ton of apps. The author needs to do a better job with keywords because I never came across it all these years of searching "ssh" or "telnet" or "retro computer" etc. This app uses modern graphics to give you that 1970s or 1980s CRT look. It is such an awesome experience. Just buy a $30 Raspberry Pi and ssh to it via your iPad and Bluetooth keyboard. I love the Cyan color and BigInJapan font. Makes me feel like a hacker in "Aliens." You can adjust the display glow for each screen character, zoom the font sizes, even introduce screen curvature, flicker, static, etc. if you like. No need to buy a real CRT monitor and hassle with it to get a retro feel. This app had better keep compatibility through iOS 10 and beyond! (Author, check your App Store keywords! Youre losing out on purchases).

Switching apps logs you out

doctorfree · 9 years ago · v3.3.1

There has been no update in over a year and a half. This app doesnt know how to operate in the background. If you switch apps then switch back to Cathode it has logged you out and whatever you had running is no longer running. Pretty worthless. I have switched to a different terminal emulator.

"Nostalgia" ruins an otherwise promising app

hamoohead · 9 years ago · v3.3.1

I dont know why I expected to be able to turn off that butt ugly IBM system 34 CRT emulation. Alas, it is not possible. If all you want is to give a nod to the days when we had to put up with eye fatiguing slow screen draws, image retention and green phosphor, then this is the app for you. If like me, however, you are looking for a reasonably priced and readable terminal app to manage a remote system from your iPhone or iPad, this is not the droid you are looking for. A total waste of $4.99
