Blink Shell, Build & Code

I have switched to using an ipad instead of a regular laptop on the go because of Blink (and mosh+tmux) and Textastic+ShellFish. Blink is better than any mac terminal, and feel a lot more like a being on a linux computer. Colors, keys and everything works really good in all applications like emacs, vi, tmux and others when connecting to linux servers. Very highly reccomended!

This application is incredible. Use it to ssh into my raspberry pi, Mac (where I run code-server) and DO droplets. Works perfectly. The Visual Studio Code integration is super, and this app paired with Tailscale makes it possible to do all of my work on my iPad.

I bought the app long ago, and they have a problem that for IOS, you can not read all the characters because the round corners of the screen are not visible. It would be as simple as allowing to add a margin, but it has been like that for years. You cannot use it in landscape, which is sad for a terminal cause u need this extra space. Additionally, they just focused in doing another version to try to charge you for a monthly fee. Pls fix the issues before trying to get more money A bit disappointing

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.

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

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.

GitHub Codespaces support. Please add it.

Taking away an app I already paid for because you wanted to add a subscription to continue supporting it is pretty shady. Don’t support these developers. They don’t deserve your money. Go pay for Prompt 3 instead, at least I can still use Prompt 2. Blink is totally useless now.

Clean and simple interface for turning your iPad into a programming terminal. This is the only app that renders all NerdFonts correctly if you are trying to use something like LazyVim with all the bells and whistles. Supports things like Mosh, but I find that Tailscale + SSH and a terminal multiplexer like Tmux or Zellij are more than enough.
