Finally, a good "terminal" for android. I really needed something that emulated a terminal structure in android without rooting my device. This is a very unique and one of a kind app for programmers, for people that like to use pyhton on android, or try things that normal users cannot do with their phones. It is a must have for tech students, and casual coders with limited access to a PC like me that uses it time to time to generate files and play custom algorithms, custom network requests, etc.

IT JUST WORKS! Instead of trying a bunch of different ssh clients, this is just a fully emulated Linux environment right on your phone, including its own app repo. You can just SSH from the command line. but the best part.... everything just works the way you want it to on an android. copy. paste. extra on-screen keys for arrows, ctrl, a few others. this is the single best android based CLI experience for remote ssh admin I have ever had. kills aSPICE, no paywalls like Terminus. get it!
