User Reviews

Reviewers praise Prompt 3 for its immersive Vision Pro environment and strong SSH workflow within Panic's ecosystem. However, recurring concerns center on licensing and pricing, reliability and memory handling, Panic Sync dependency and server-sync issues, iPadOS UI quirks, and migration/friction with legacy purchases. Overall, it’s a powerful remote-work tool that is tempered by pricing, stability, and UX challenges.

Pros

Immersive environment for Vision Pro with attention to detail, praised by multiple reviewers.
Strong Panic ecosystem integration (Prompt + Transmit + Panic Sync) enabling a seamless SSH and file-management workflow.
Perceived value: many reviewers feel the experience justifies the price.

Cons

Subscription/licensing model concerns: ongoing costs, loss of legacy licenses, and uncertainty about future updates.
Reliability issues: SSH connections can drop and the app can be expelled from memory, disrupting work.
Panic Sync dependency and related issues: adding servers requires Panic Sync and sync can cause servers to disappear.
UI/UX on iPadOS: non-native UI, clashes with system window controls, and overall look not aligned with iPadOS.
Migration/purchase friction: loss of access to previous purchases and older Panic apps; some users were unable to sync across devices after upgrading.

Recent reviews

I used to use and love Prompt years ago, but for me, the only real differentiator in version 3 is the Vision Pro spatial environment (which is genuinely very cool). Beyond that, I’ve run into several issues: I’m unable to connect to many servers that work perfectly with other SSH apps I use regularly, there’s no full Nerd Font installed by default, and in some cases tmux refuses to start, reporting that “the shell is not a terminal.” I had none of these problems with other terminal emulators. I was planning to contact the support, but honestly issues like these should not have been shipped in the first place, in a commercial product. My daily driver is ShellFish, but even rootshell, which is 100% free, has none of the issues listed above. Finally, I have read the support article explaining why Panic developed their own sync service, but I don’t feel like trusting it with the private keys for critical servers, especially since they could have just used iCloud Keychain.

Apparently there was some kind of fix that was done somewhat recently and that has broken the experience completely I can’t scroll and use this app at all I need to refund if this is not fixed within a few days

I tried it for the great SSH app, but bought it because of the fantastic immersive environment. The attention to detail is awesome! I hope they continue to work on it, either letting you move your vantage point, adding in variations, or even new environments altogether. I’ve been using the immersive environment to work for hours with Mac Virtual Display, it’s perfect for tuning out distractions and getting things done!
