Comments on Better Terminal Emulator Pro for Android

★★★★★ The best shell, well worth the money I'm using this App with the Hacking & Developing Keyboard, and let's just say, I couldn't do my work without it. Easily the best terminal for Android, far outpaces the competition, including the Bot that starts with Connect. Using the H&DK app with it really kicks this app to Eleven.
★★★★★ Works great but. .. Is the any way to create a shortcut and be able to modify it? With dynamic ips, my home ip changes and I have to recreate the shortcut every time. Not a show stopper but inconvenient sometimes. My go to terminal though.
★★★★★ App Crashes When Keyboard Summoned BTEP is a fantastic terminal emulator which I have used and enjoyed for years. Unfortunately, with the latest version, the moment I summon the on-screen keyboard, the app crashes. When I try to click on "Report", I can't tap on agreeing to the terms and conditions because the OSK then gets in the way and stays in the way. I tried going to route of filing a bug report via the link here in this app's Google Store page, but it doesn't work, either, and the only other thing I can find online is a wiki. To The Developer: Please track the issue down, but also please figure out a way to fix the complete lack of functional ways to contact you, too. Thanks!
★★☆☆☆ Used to be good Thus used to be the go-to emulator, but no longer works for me. On Android 5, as soon as I tap to type, it force closes. Appears to be a dead app.
★★☆☆☆ Dies every time my Android 5 keyboard opens On my Nexus 6 and Nexus 7, the app dies at the instant I open the stock keyboard. So this app has become totally useless.
★★☆☆☆ Was Great, Now Junk This was a great terminal emulator, but the author has abandoned it and it no longer runs on modern devices.
★★☆☆☆ Ok terminal Good option for many people maybe. Lack of proper ssh key support kills it for me though.
★★☆☆☆ Crashes on Lolipop This app was working great but now in latest stable build of Android 5.0 Lolipop, it crashes whenever trying to bring the keyboard up. Really hope this is updated soon, as this was my go-to Terminal emulator

Please do not leave bug reports in the comments section, as there is not enough space to adequately describe the issue, and I have no way to respond in order to get more information.

Great for tablets such as the Viewsonic gTablet, Motorola Xoom, Galaxy Tab 10.1, ASUS Transformer!

Works great with the Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard and Apple Wireless Keyboard on Xoom and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Honeycomb support for the tablet form factor as well as HDMI out on the Xoom. Works well with Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 keyboard dock.

If you are having trouble with the soft keyboard on HTC phones like the Desire HD or Thunderbolt, try changing to another soft keyboard. Seems like the HTC soft keyboard has some issues with BTEP, but other keyboards work fine. Hacker's Keyboard is my new favorite keyboard for use with BTEP.

Now includes Frotz and the classic Colossal Cave Adventure game in the enhanced utilities for fun. Busybox has recently been updated to support SMP systems, ie, in "top."
