User Reviews

Users like SimpleSSH for its simple, button-based approach to running scripts and commands, especially on Raspberry Pi and other remote servers. The app is praised for enabling quick automation and being easy to set up. However, multiple reviews report stability problems—frequent crashes, freezes, and unreliable SSH handshakes—and note the app appears poorly maintained, with little or no updates for years. Terminal mode is seen as limited (no full-screen editors like vi/top), and some users want more UI customization. Overall, usefulness is high when it runs, but reliability and maintenance are major concerns.

Pros

Simple and effective; easy to set up.
Click-to-run scripts/commands via a button-based interface.
Great for remote control of Raspberry Pi and other servers; saves time.
Groups/organizes buttons for related actions.
Good value for money and handy for automation.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes when executing commands or in terminal.
SSH connection problems (handshake failures, inability to connect to hosts).
Not updated for years; appears unmaintained; outdated.
Terminal limitations: can't run full-screen apps like vi/top/htop; display/keyboard issues.
Limited UI customization (desirable font/color options) and other customization requests remain unmet.

Recent reviews

Fails out of the gate. Useless junk app.

Why is it EVERYTIME I click a command, the entire app crashes. It’s been like this entirely too long. I’ve even paid for this app. Please update your app or we will report it to Apple, demanding a refund…
