TouchTerm - iPhone App

The Bottom Line

TouchTerm is the free version of TouchTerm Pro, so many of the features are the same. But this SSH app is very easy to use, unlike TouchTerm Pro. It's a great price for an SSH app, and does everything you would expect.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Store saved connections
  • Connect to SSH securely
  • Free

Cons

  • No auto-correct

Description

  • Connect to SSH and telnet
  • VT100 emulation with three font options
  • Store saved connections, including passwords, behind a master password
  • Landscape and portrait mode

Guide Review - TouchTerm - iPhone App Review

TouchTerm is the free version of TouchTerm Pro. And for the price it's a very good SSH app. It's not crippled that I could see and it connects well to all the servers I tested. It's very easy to use because it doesn't have all the fancy features and gestures of the more complicated TouchTerm Pro. But if all you need is an SSH client, this one is great.
