## Review summary

Users praise the app for broad protocol support (SSH, RDP, VNC) and a rich feature set with Wake-on-LAN, along with generally positive long-term use and responsive support. However, reliability varies, with crashes and startup freezes, a confusing UI, SSH authentication problems, problematic backups/restores, and compatibility issues on newer Android versions or specific devices. Overall, it’s a capable remote-connection tool, but quality is inconsistent across devices and updates.

### Pros

- Broad multi-protocol support (SSH, RDP, VNC) with features like SSH port forwarding and Wake-on-LAN.
- Rich remote-management feature set suitable for various use cases.
- Positive long-term user experiences and perceived reliability for many users (some say it’s among the best clients).
- Noted for responsive support from the developers.

### Cons

- Stability issues: crashes, startup freezes, and background connectivity problems on certain devices.
- UI/UX is confusing with too many setup options and fields.
- SSH authentication problems: manual password entries sometimes fail and private keys don’t work reliably.
- Backup/restore/import difficulties: backups often import incorrectly or only contain metadata, making restoration hard.
- Compatibility issues with newer Android versions or specific devices (e.g., Android 13, Samsung Fold/Tab devices).
