Blink Shell Reviews

Paid for the original app

Hasse Skalman on

Sweden

Paid for the original app and got a new iPad. Now I can’t reinstall it and have to buy a subscription :-( I’m really annoyed by this. Restore purchases doesn’t work for me.

Can’t type ‘@‘ with the Apple keyboard attached to my iPad

SundLa on

Sweden

Have to use the on-screen keyboard since I can’t type any character that is normally available under the option key. No other app have this issue.

Subscriptions..

Hannes N on

Sweden

I payed for the original app but it will stop working.. and I have to use this one now but it is now a subscription instead. Not amazing. (there was a limited window were you could be grandfathered in.. but that notification was very hidden)

Good app but shady business practices

JonaKarn on

Sweden

I bought the original Blink app and was very happy until they decided it was ok to change to a subscription model. Apparently there was a set period of time you were allowed to move to the new application, which I missed because the notification was hidden in the menus and I only noticed it after the period has passed. Now they want me to pay an annual subscription for an application I have already bought once. Very shady business practice and a shame on an otherwise good alternative for SSH on iOS.

Fantastic app for the road warrior who needs a terminal

mosh works great. Support for ssh keys.

Where is classic?

4839201847382 on

United States

Was told that existing users would be able to use this app for regular ssh. But there are only subscription options and the like to restore purchases does nothing. If you’re not going to support existing customers in the new app, maybe consider to put the proper icon back on the old app? Update: Thank you for your response, if I had known about the changes, I would certainly have “taken the time”. I will look for the option to restore the icon and hope that the app contributes to function in future. UPDATE: They have now removed blink shell classic from the app store, so that purchase was a waste of money.

Removed Old App and replaced with a subscription

Delta Squared on

United States

The old app was great I had not problem with it, this got replaced with a subscription service. I didn’t make the cutoff window. This is not a good way to earn trust. I guess I am stuck with alternatives. This is sad as it was my go to shell for years.

It was a good app

It was a good app

Returning user, what is this subscription model!

thomassantosh on

United States

Groan. Loved this app when I had an iPad before. After getting a new one, now I return to find you have to pay whatever option you pick. I guess I’m spoiled to expect a base set of features for free.

Needs more features
