User Reviews

ConnectBot is praised for its simple, ad-free UI, open-source nature, and privacy; it handles basic SSH tasks with features like SOCKS5 port forwarding, localhost access, and IPv6 support. The most common criticisms are stability and reliability issues, readability problems due to a non-monospace font, unreliable copy/paste and public-key handling, lack of password storage, and limited keyboard customization. Overall, it's a lightweight, privacy-friendly option, but it needs improvements in reliability, key management, and user-configurable controls.

Open source and privacy-friendly (no data collection).
SSH features including SOCKS5 port forwarding and localhost support.
IPv6 support.

Cons

Stability issues: frequent disconnects and crashes during sessions.
Terminal font is not monospace and cursor alignment is off, hurting readability.
Key management and clipboard reliability: copy/paste issues and problems with copying/using public keys.
