★★★★★ ANSI, VT220, xterm terminal emulation fails with corrupted screens even in simple stuff like top, control-c kills the entire connection instead of sending interrupt, that was enough for me, canceled subscription.
★★★★★ There is no “Free trial.” There is no $9.99 version.
★★★★★ It says it's a free trial but it attempts to charge.

★★★★★ A whole year almost passed and the bug with the traffic light window buttons on iPadOS 26 still not been fixed.
★★★★★ It might seem clever to avoid traditional GUI controls in favor of keyboard shortcuts, but it doesn't work in practice.
11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Skip this app and just use Moshi, a much better experience and they won't rip you off.
★★★★★ I'm in the middle of production server support, and I've already spent too much time trying to figure out how to make this product work.
★★★★★ DO NOT THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY AND SUPPORT DEVELOPERS WITH A SHRED OF INTEGRITY.
10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Damals teuer gekauft, jetzt durch Update entwertet.
★★★★★ Hab die App damals gekauft, aber durch das neue Update werde ich gezwungen jeden Monat dafür zu bezahlen!
★★★★★ Update: Thank you for your response, if I had known about the changes, I would certainly have “taken the time”.

★★★★★ Can't restore blink classic on new device.
★★★★★ "RESTORE PURCHASES" doesn't work.
★★★★★ I hadn't used this thing in ages but I wanted to sync my iPad to work in my simpler remote projects.
5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ I really hope I can do that before I need to pay next year's terminal rent.
★★★★★ It allowed me to do everything I needed to do on a limited platform.
★★★★★ After getting a new one, now I return to find you have to pay whatever option you pick.
3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ COMPLETELY USELESS APP unless you are looking for a gateway to a paid product.
★★★★★ Blink is totally useless now.
★★★★★ After “migration” from the excellent Blink 14, this app is inoperable — “lifetime” purchase promises notwithstanding, it won't SSH, and is useless to me.
3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ There is no way to use the app for free.
★★★★★ Seems like you can only choose between two subscription models now with the free option being gone, unless I'm missing something this app is unusable without paying.
★★★★★ My issue was with VSCode integration and the complete lack of error reporting if you don't format your remote path correctly.
10 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Mosh support is the killer feature to me.
★★★★★ Active developer, new features, and support for Family share makes this a no brained for anyone looking for a ssh+mosh capable app.
★★★★★ While I don't personally have the need for Blink Build, nor do I use Blink Code, I'm happy to support a team that makes such a great app.
7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Polished, does exactly what I need, and worth every penny.
★★★★★ It makes it hard to recommend to interested friends or colleagues when there isn't a free option or a one-time purchase option.
★★★★★ For me personally that just wants to ssh in to his remote machines this is a little bit too much when there are so many free alternatives out there.
6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ The VSCode integration works well too however using neovim/tmux on the MacBook via Mosh is my preferred flow.
★★★★★ It's a solid setup and everything works well with keyboards, etc.
★★★★★ Polished, does exactly what I need, and worth every penny. The annual subscription is a steal for a tool I use this often.
5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ This has been so easy to use, and I can't believe the features that it offers!
★★★★★ Very fast and easy to use.
★★★★★ Perfectly simple and yet remarkably complex.
4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Then I discovered more useful features, like local vim editor and port forwarding.
★★★★★ This app is very useful and I think it's greate.
★★★★★ This really helps me get work done on my iPad.

Verstehe das Updates, Bugfixing, neue Features etc. Zeit und Arbeit kosten. Beim Übertragen scheint bei mir die App wieder den Classic Mode aktiviert zu haben und ich kann die App trotz neuen Abo Modell mit den alten Kernfunktionen nutzen. Danke, dass das doch klappt.
ANSI, VT220, xterm terminal emulation fails with corrupted screens even in simple stuff like top, control-c kills the entire connection instead of sending interrupt, that was enough for me, canceled subscription. One of the worst term emulators I’ve seen and that is saying something.
This is the best ssh, terminal, ping, etc tools set I’ve used on iPad. Easy to use. Full features for everything I need to log in to my home machines (I connect via tailscale) and work remotely. It has saved me many times already when VNC has gone wonky or the network is too slow.
The new rendering engine or session management appeared to have introduce quite a few regressions: long connected sessions don’t render and seem stuck after idle and when returning to the app. All the different sessions just basically got stuck and I found myself closing the tab and start over.
Says it all.
Based on the ratings, it seems that users either love or hate it. I am pleased with it, as it allows me to remotely open a terminal that is connected to my remote MacBook Pro. A terminal is not an interface for the faint-of-heart, but for more technically oriented users. It required some work on my MacBook Pro, though it was a breeze as ClaudeCode held my hand throughout the process. With this app now I can open a ClaudeCode terminal in my iPhone, or iPad, via SSH or MOSH, and work on it as if I was directly sitting in front my Mac. Worth $20/year in my opinion. Again: it requires some work on the Mac side. Based on the few reviews I read, seems to me, that those complaining either did not know how to set up the Mac side correctly, and/or do not want to pay for it. I have TailScale on my Mac, which made it easier though.
