Comments on Terminal Emulator for Android for Android

★★★★★ So people know, this app is so dated that it's target API actually entitles it to NOT request permissions to do what it does. It defaults to approving the last api it was built for. Whatever it was, it's virtually prehistoric. So, TLDR: api level defaults to granting all permissions without user interaction for any and all requests. So be careful.

★★★★★ This is the best emulator I have used. Uses less memory on RAM & yet get the job done. Also handles the hackers keyboard very well. Keep it up. Thank you developer(s) but recently upgraded my phone. Now (I am on Android 12 & this app says "app was build for older version & may not work with my version of Android. Try checking for update or contact developer." So can you upgrade it to make compatible? I know & love this app since my college days using since Android 1.5 (Cupcake). :-)😁

★★★★★ Hey. This app its old but it still works on my Android 13. Very useful app

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work. Only works for older devices.

★★☆☆☆ Tried the most basic commands like ls and they didn't work, can't even navigate through paths. 0-10

★★☆☆☆ Stupid, cannot paste text into the terminal...can do this with other terminal apps like qute

★★☆☆☆ Very limited capabilities. With SSH not working there is no justification to allow access to photos, files, or anything else on the android device.
