| 2025-06-04 | this is gonna be a tough path, but this lacks many syntaxes, most gonna say it's unaccessible. I might just reuse my computer tbh. also the highlight, unnecessary but okay. | ||

| 2025-05-21 | I am playing non-rooted, so file access is an issue. Know not if devs fault but probably not. Phones are really dumb. App is the best on phone that I've tried. By quite a margin. Not feature laden exactly but it is free. | ||

| 2024-11-10 | Works without root. No ads. Has GUI folder navigation option. Can create bash shell scripts, run it separately to test and autosaves. Has tab auto complete, access to history commands, good navigation support. Has everything I wanted and works better than other higher rated apps, wonder why this has only 3.7* and less reviews. 100% recommend. Thanks alot | ||
