This app now gives the error ~ ls: cannot access 'filename': Function not implemented. for all files in my home directory. I tried removing the app and reinstall but still the same error. This seems to be a recently introduced error because I believe it was working fine in December 2025.

As a one time thing you need to backup and uninstall before installing the new version. This is a one time thing only due to updated Google Play policy requirements - future updates will not require this.
Reach out to contact@termux.com if there are any issues!

this app is AWESOME. You can't use it to access other android files (the app is sandboxed), but it allows you to install linux command line programs. I didn't think you could use this to SSH into your desktop, but you can.

As a fully sandboxed android application, and as the permissions for external storage cannot be granted, this application is perfectly useless for me. No doubt the developer will say "buy the premium version". De-installed.
