It just hangs up forever waiting for the transfer to start. -- Ricky Sutphin, 2026-03-09 ### ***** "Solid Terminal" Good program for logging into BBSs and other online systems. Telnet and SSH both worked smoothly. -- patw4pbj, 2026-02-17 ### ***** "Best iPhone App for BBSing" Seriously awesome. Thank you for making this. Love accessing my Silfen Path BBS with it. I think it’d be really cool if you expand it in the future where it can also become a qwk reader / responder. Imagine, we download file via a modem, app detects it is message file and we can open it, read messages, reply, and next time we connect we can upload back the replies. Heck automate it (what keys are needed to auto execute on login to get to qwk file) and it can auto pull new message in the background and alert you when they arrive :). -- CP Petar, 2026-02-17 [View all TERMinator reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## TERMinator Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/united-states) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/australia) - [Bahrain](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/bahrain) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/canada) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/china) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/colombia) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/czechia) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/spain) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/united-kingdom) - [Croatia](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/croatia) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/iceland) - [Lithuania](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/lithuania) - [North Macedonia](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/north-macedonia) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/malaysia) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/philippines) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/pakistan) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/singapore) - [Suriname](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/suriname) - [El Salvador](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/el-salvador) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/thailand) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/turkey) - [Uruguay](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/uruguay) - [Uzbekistan](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/uzbekistan) - [Armenia](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/armenia) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/terminator-bbs-terminal-PRCy/south-africa) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
