User Reviews for Shelly - SSH Client

A proper ssh client that respects your privacy

After using the app for a while and determining that it fit my needs, I contacted the developers about my concerns about data collection. Unlike other ssh clients, they don’t keep logs, and the only usage statistics gleaned come from apple analytics if you are opted in from your phone’s settings. Due to the flawless functionality and the great customer service, I rate this app 5 stars.

Solid App with Rough Edged

Firstly, this a solid app that absolutely delivers what it should, a full-fledged ssh session on the iPad. It is certainly worth paying for. That said…this is my “backup” ssh client. There are a couple of cases where I have to use it to correct something that jumbled the display, and it has always come through for me. But I am no kind of iPad power-user; the gesture I have mastered is not one the iPad responds too (alas). This app is just a little too creaky in the user settings area for me to be able to work the way I need to.Truthfully, that is a minor point, and as long as the user is reasonably proficient with gestures and the iPad/iOS environment, I would say this is every bit as good as most of the ssh clients, and it has a great price with good support.The app also requires the user to “thumb” in on each launch, and it will not switch back and forth between foreground and background. For me, this is a feature, and a good one. It prevents careless use of what is, after all, a secure session on an important asset. I do not know if that behavior is configurable or not—since I like it, I have no interest in altering it.

Absolutely Perfect

I use this to connect to my own server at home so I can do basic updates on the fly and restart different applications.I have tested a good handful of terminal apps and Shelly is the only one that does exactly what I need without any drawbacks. No ads or anything!Plus, while they do lock some features behind premium they keep the most important and necessary ones free! Not to mention that premium is only $4, a fair price to pay to support the developers and unlock a few extra features that make the experience even better!If you are looking for a good terminal app, stop searching because you just found the one.

Perfect.

I use Shelly all day long to run Emacs under Screen on my iPad Pro with an Apple Keyboard-folio (or whatever they’re calling it this time). I could not be more pleased or more productive. There are many options under settings — one of which I used to set the keyboard [alt/option] key to send meta (since there’s no dedicated [esc] key on the Apple keyboard). Thankfully, there are no tabs taking up valuable screen space. It’s the best terminal I’ve used.

Only App I’ve ever bought on iphone

I use this app while i am home or out and about for practically everything: home servers, work servers, routers, switches anything and everything that can be accessed with this terminal. it’s convenient having a tool like this for the phone, it’s written very well, i’ve hardly ever had a problem with it. I’ve been using Shelly for I’d say almost a year and finally decide to buy it. It’s only $5, i think it was well worth every penny.

Fantastic app at fantastic value

This is definitely a first rate SSH app, and the 14 day free trial of premium features gives you a chance to really test drive it before committing. The premium upgrade is downright cheap, and a no brainer. I suggest everyone get it ASAP. 4.5 stars for the background connection issue I mention next.My only issues so far: 1) It would be nice if the app at least notified you when it was about to close a connection while in the background. Termius does this on it’s free plan, and has a work around to keep connections open even longer on their much more expensive premium plan. 2) Mosh support would be nice. 3) I feel like the developer is unknown, and their website doesn’t even mention this app. Very strange considering how well executed this app seems.

Fantastic

My tried and true ssh app still hasn’t added support for iPhone X. Tried a few other apps and landed with this one. Clean, sexy and simple. Upgraded to pro right away. Hate that other apps charge a yearly fee. That’s crazy. *Updated review*Just received the latest update. In my last review, I asked for Nerdfonts. As I was reviewing the new features, I was excited to see them added! The other features added are clearly from power users and very welcome! Thanks!

Cracking toast, Gromit!

A very slick, polished app, and it surprises by doing something useful when you start to think “I wish it would...” and you gets surprised when it does it (or comes very close).It is clear the product has been developed by people who have logged many, many hours of left seat time working via SSH. They know what is useful and what just gives “good demo”.The upgrade to the Pro version is exactly that. If all you ever do with SSH is login to reset the time or run backups, you may not need the upgrade. But it is a nice example of how to have a baseline product which isn’t lame-ware, and a Pro upgrade that isn’t just LEDs in the wheel wells.And the upgrade price is a real bargain.If this were a diner, the touring musician’s rating would be “Good Grease!”

Excellent app with minimal interface

This definitely is the best SSH app available on Apple devices. Quick connections and adjustable text sizes. Supports color codes in the terminal and can display ANSI art. Zero connection issues. Stores host keys and you have choices over which algorithm you prefer. All in all a very well-rounded terminal app.

Great app great price

All I wanted was to use ssh from my phone and the to other apps that came up wanted subscriptions from me. I'm happy to put a few dollars down for the hard working developers but for something I'm just going to use on occasion I can't justify getting a subscription. I'm going to pay the $4 simply because this was the only ssh app that came up and worked right out of the box without complicated annoying menus.
