★★★★★ Ameer Jamal · 15 Oct 2026 · vgoogleplay.2026.10.09Amazing but the keyboard needs to be enhanced to allows easier terminal inputs, also why is auto correct force disabled it should be an option.

★★★★★ Benedek Szabó · 10 Oct 2026 · vgoogleplay.2026.10.09Much better than default terminal app. Also has far better performance! I with for a full integrated display engine that works with x11 or wayland. But for cli stuff it's the best!
