  • Has potential

    Looks great but the improperly implemented ssh certificates makes this app a no go for me. I’d pay the $20/yr happily if it actually worked. Client certs aren’t enough. This also has to allow trusted cert-authorities for signed host keys

  • Only a wrap of Web VSCode

    By btjack99
    The embedded VSCode is just a copy of the official Web VS Code, so it cannot connect to a remote server via SSH inside VSCode at all. So it is, of course, unable to install any code completion plugin in VSCode, no C++, no Python and even no JavaScipt. As a result, the VSCode is just a partially-functioning editor with a good theme. Nothing more.

    Was told that existing users would be able to use this app for regular ssh. But there are only subscription options and the like to restore purchases does nothing. If you’re not going to support existing customers in the new app, maybe consider to put the proper icon back on the old app? Update: Thank you for your response, if I had known about the changes, I would certainly have “taken the time”. I will look for the option to restore the icon and hope that the app contributes to function in future. UPDATE: They have now removed blink shell classic from the app store, so that purchase was a waste of money.

  • Removed Old App and replaced with a subscription

    The old app was great I had not problem with it, this got replaced with a subscription service. I didn’t make the cutoff window. This is not a good way to earn trust. I guess I am stuck with alternatives. This is sad as it was my go to shell for years.

  • It was a good app

  • Returning user, what is this subscription model!

    Groan. Loved this app when I had an iPad before. After getting a new one, now I return to find you have to pay whatever option you pick. I guess I’m spoiled to expect a base set of features for free.

  • Needs more features

    GitHub Codespaces support. Please add it.

  • Theft by developer

    By zmanfx
    Taking away an app I already paid for because you wanted to add a subscription to continue supporting it is pretty shady. Don’t support these developers. They don’t deserve your money. Go pay for Prompt 3 instead, at least I can still use Prompt 2. Blink is totally useless now.

  • Only iPad terminal that renders EVERYTHING correctly

    5
    By sylverjam
    Clean and simple interface for turning your iPad into a programming terminal. This is the only app that renders all NerdFonts correctly if you are trying to use something like LazyVim with all the bells and whistles. Supports things like Mosh, but I find that Tailscale + SSH and a terminal multiplexer like Tmux or Zellij are more than enough.
