## Review summary

WebSSH is a reliable, feature-rich SSH client for iOS/macOS with strong cross-device syncing and a one-time purchase model. Users praise its stability, ease of use, and wide feature set (key authentication, SFTP, tmux, scripts, hotkeys). However, the app has recurring drawbacks around SFTP usability, keyboard/input quirks on iOS, and occasional crashes on certain devices/versions. Overall its a solid tool for admins who value multi-device use and a robust feature set.

### Pros

- Highly reliable and stable; reviewers say it just works and is dependable for real work
- Excellent cross-device syncing and availability across Mac, iPad, and iPhone with iCloud syncing
- Feature-rich SSH client: key authentication, SFTP, tmux/screen, and useful built-in tools; customizable with scripts and hotkeys
- One-time purchase with no subscription and ongoing updates
- User-friendly and well-documented, making setup and daily use easy

### Cons

- SFTP/file transfer usability issues: cannot transfer folders, may require zipping, and sometimes requires a separate SFTP session for transfers
- Keyboard/input UX on iOS can be quirky: on-screen/hardware keyboard interactions, menus disappearing, copy/paste quirks, input lag after updates
- Occasional stability issues/crashes on certain devices or iOS versions; performance can be inconsistent
