Low star ratings are not shown. This app disappears from the user interface along with weeks of hard work. My only interpretation can be one of theft. Is there not a single CLI application available on play store which one can trust? Why all the tunnels and backdoors, distribution tunnels, ssh tunnels with both forward and backward capabilities? Hidden malicious scripts in the licensing and terms of use by fmt. All of these guys are hiding j script in front ends by making the format incompatible.
★★★★★
This is the only terminal emulator working on my note 4 Marshmallow right now since the other one no longer work. This app is the best.
★★★★★
Its hack data application good Hackeeeeeeeeeeeeers
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't copy / paste, SuperUser functions don't work. Fine size is too big for what it is and what is supposed to do.
★★☆☆☆
This is working better than the other terminal apps I've tried, ls -l looks okay, cd sdcard is not giving "permission error". But -- -- top is not working at all. Works fine from adb shell, maybe I am just expecting too much from an app, to be able to duplicate adb behavior.
★★☆☆☆
It is broken. No need to trust me, try yourself. After the command "type xxx" for any other command you will get "cd: too many arguments" error message.
★★☆☆☆
A convincing fake, but a fake nonetheless. If you can run top on another app's root terminal filtered to this app's UID you can watch it not run any of the commands you type in (an exception is sleep, which calls /system/bin/sh to execute sleep), the variables from running export also aren't right (no $PS1, but we can somehow echo it back, and that output doesn't match the prompt the app claims is a shell). All in all this is a fake at best and actively malicious at worst. Stay away at all costs.
★★☆☆☆
WHY DO NONE OF THESE TERMINAL EMULATORS WORK. CAN'T USE SIMPLE COMMANDS, LIKE sudo apt install!!!!
★★☆☆☆
Can't even hit Enter to enter commands. I'm looking for a Terminal app where I can cut and especially, paste.
