Serial App Reviews

This is the only terminal emulator I’ve found that allows me to use nano or vi. All the others I’ve tried, including screen, barf with nano. It Just Works. One thing … I haven’t found a logging functionality. I hope it’s there, and that I just haven’t found it. If it’s not there, consider this a feature request. Normally I’d deduct a star for a missing feature, but the quality of this thing more than outweighs that one shortcoming (assuming that there really is no logging function).

I’m a network engineer and this app is one of the most useful ones I have. I have always hated having to do the terminal method using screen… The only thing this is missing is the option to log all of the output to a log/text document. I still use PuTTy the most on Windows and find the logging feature useful for historical reasons, being able to record text and messages even though the buffer has filled… However, still an amazing app, I hope they keep up the good work and keep adding new features. Thanks much!

This app is a lifesaver. Not only for Cisco admins - and it’s perfect for router configuration - but also if you’re working with headless Linux boxes (think Raspberry PI as well… ). Wonderful job!

No more trying to locate serial port drivers, install this and you are done. Worth the cost.

…i have been trying to get a usb serial cable to work with my RPi 2 for days! this simply worked !

The app works fairly well, but I wish there were more features, such as more terminal emulations, or the ability to log all of the IO to a file. If you just need a basic application to connect over a serial connection, this works fairly well, but I expected more functionality for the cost. Thats why I did not give it five stars.
