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.

Pros

Easy to use with a simple, uncluttered UI.
Open source and privacy-friendly (no data collection).
SSH features including SOCKS5 port forwarding and localhost support.
IPv6 support.
No ads and free, offering a straightforward SSH client experience.

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.
No password storage or credential management options.
Lack of configurable special keys and limited keyboard customization.

Recent reviews

Not sure what the reviews with issues are, but I updated the date of this review (old version wasn't copying to clipboard anymore) and what an improvement. This is really the best terminal emulator for android that I've tried, and I've tried a few. The features in the (many) updates since the version I was on are so nice. Fullscreen, no title bar, store login credentials (which I would never use, pubkey obviously, but it's nice for beginners), and the Godsend of Url Scan. Thank you for this app!
