## PiHelper Reviews in United States

### *---- "No longer works"
Connection failed tap to retry message seen when trying ssh. My hunch is that the app doesn’t support the newer and more secure ciphers, cipher suites, and/or other algorithms on devices with up to date OS. 

One not so secure option  is to edit the Pi to accept and use older ciphers or find a new app.
-- Philly5648887, 2025-09-12

### **--- "Was awesome, but now needs some love"
This used to be a great app however in iOS 18.5 it doesn’t seem to work either with the password or private key. as of the date of this review the app has not been updated in four years. Here is hoping to develop her will come back and work his or her magic again.
-- ewalsh, 2025-06-22

### *---- "DOA for new OS’s"
Was a great clean tool while it worked but recent pi OS updates render the app unusable. Hopefully the dev can update it.
-- Middleman445, 2025-06-10

### *---- "No Bookworm support"
Doesn&#039;t work with Bookworm. Used it for years.  Have to find something else.
-- JEEL2, 2024-12-06

### *---- "So long!!"
It was good while it lasted
-- Ron.nog, 2024-11-03

### *---- "No longer works"
No longer works on newer OS’s real shame as it was a really good app - abandonware
-- Middleman445, 2024-10-23

### *---- "Not working with the latest RPI versions"
Use to be a super utility. Spent tons of time trying to decide what happened to it. Will not connect to the latest PI versions. 

Really wish they would update the app. Miss it.
-- ITC_RET, 2024-09-26

### *---- "App No longer works"
This app has been great but ever since Pi OS Bookworm it has stopped working.
-- Douglas N Adams, 2024-05-20

### **--- "Not very stable"
I liked this for a while because it was the first thing I tried. When I rebuilt one of my machines it would no longer connect even when I deleted the old connection and recreated it. Terminus works better.
-- iSchmox, 2024-03-03

### ***** "Easily one of the best apps"
I don’t write reviews. But this app has come in handy so many times. Only thing I wish is the writer would make a Widget to put on MacOS that allowed for quick access to the pies I’m monitoring.
-- Slicc, 2023-11-30

### *---- "Doesn’t work… like at all"
I’ve tired everything i could think of. It doesn’t connect to my pi and the creds are correct
-- Bobby Digital, 2023-11-12

### **--- "Need a way to clear rsa"
Need a way to clear rsa
-- Dy3o, 2023-10-30

### ***** "Very good app ~ works well"
It was easy to get connected to my pi. It worked the first time  unlike other apps that refuse to connect because of some obscure hidden setting somewhere.  Don’t see an option to change text size in the TERM window, which would be great. Maybe it’s an option later or I can’t find it.
-- Zydecos, 2023-05-16

### ***** "Great app"
Has everything you could need to track your pi, one suggestion though. Could you please add a way to track it outside your local network
-- aWildrz, 2023-02-20

### *---- "Used to be amazing"
Stopped working a little while ago. Won’t connect to anything anymore. 

Have deleted and reinstalled multiple times even paid for the ad-free version and it’s just not working anymore. 

Hopefully this gets fixed. This was by far my favorite SSH and SFTP tool for any Linux machine.
-- Dhcifnejspxognejxurns, 2023-01-21

### ***** "Nice!"
Just what I wanted! very friendly ui, looks nice and elegant
-- runnymax, 2022-11-15

### *---- "Doesn’t seem to work anymore…"
Same network, same accounts, etc.
ServerCat connects and displays information flawlessly, PiHelper just shows “Connection Failed. Tap to retry”, which remains the same, regardless of how often one taps to do so.
And, yes, access to the network was granted!
-- Nai-De, 2022-11-05

### ***** "Works exactly as intended"
This app is fantastic at being able to manage multiple Pi’s, access the terminal, and even easily manage files stored in the pi. This app is easy to get up and running and is a must have
-- STiGuy22, 2022-07-26

### *---- "Outdated"
Outdated and the goin pinout has been dropped, app needs to be updated with the rpi4 standards and new libraries.
-- zbdhdbdb, 2022-07-01

### ***** "great idea sanctuary"
great idea sanctuary
-- Frightoff4567, 2022-04-24
