Features & Capabilities

Another Term is a comprehensive terminal emulator designed for Android devices starting from version 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It supports various connection types including USB and Bluetooth serial (UART) ports, SSH with features like port forwarding and public key authentication, and Telnet. Users can access local shells with advanced Linux environments under PRoot, enabling compilation, debugging, and flashing microcontrollers—all without needing root access.

This app offers extensive support for USB UART devices (such as CP210X, FTDI, PL2303), Bluetooth SPP UART, and local Linux PTYs. It features customizable terminal screen sizes, hardware button mapping, built-in keyboard and mouse, and flexible character encoding support. Another Term also provides a shell tool to interact with the Android environment, content exchange between apps, and hot plug support for libusb on non-rooted devices. Packaged as a universal APK, it ensures offline installation across multiple architectures. Detailed documentation and source code are available through its Wiki and GitHub repository.

User Reviews

Another Term is favored by technically inclined users for its native serial/UART support, telnet BBS compatibility, and functionality on older Android devices, resembling Termux. However, many users find it hard to use due to poor documentation, lack of tutorials, and an unfriendly interface. Some experience crashes caused by permission errors. Requests have been made for a separate keyboard app and better help commands to improve usability. Overall, it's valued by niche users but challenging for the general audience.

Effective for telnet BBS with ANSI graphics, appreciated by niche users.

Cons

Difficult to use with hard-to-follow instructions and lack of tutorials or help commands.
App crashes immediately or does not run properly on some devices due to permission issues.
Interface and terminal experience considered awful or not user-friendly.
Missing built-in keyboard as a separate app, limiting flexibility.
