iSH Shell

Thanks for the work with Apple to pull and keep this app on the iPhone. I love the iPad, but without shell and coding apps, it can never be compared with my computer even with Magic Keyboard or the Logitech combo touch. It have never come this close that my ipad can finally replace my Mac to provide an all in one solution! Really, sincerely, totally honestly thankful for the app developer for putting in so much work to allow this to happen. Allow my deep gratitude to be expressed again! Thanks!!

An excellent apps on ipads for system admin people need to access remote via SSH where ever they are. However, not very user friendly for users who has enabled multiple language input methods; a wrong input method will be used on iSH when a non-English method was used before launching iSH, and there is not way to change the input method within the apps. (i.e. need to swap and change the input method on other apps before the keyboard functions correctly on iSH)

light vim editing on iPad feels amazing.

It can do nearly everything that a linux should do, except running python files/command are very slow. For example using “wget” is faster than using “pip install” 100 times.

Really, that's all I can say. It's really impressive, after you follow the FAQ to get it going.

Finally we got most of Linux features on iOS! Thank you guys for bring this app online on App Store! Go Alpine!

This is a great app, but it’s mind boggling to me that the developers chose (and continue to choose) to emulate a 32 bit environment instead of a 64 bit environment. This makes the the app essentially useless for me (and I’m sure for many others as well). I’m giving 3 stars instead of 1 because it’s otherwise a great app and if the developers release a 64 bit version, I’d come right back.

Tor doesn’t stay on when you look up other apps it shuts off ish and it doesn’t allow you to open more tabs like Linux tabs

The best app on iPad by far

Trying to use this for development on the road with just smartphones, but so far, required tools aren't working: `strace` fails immediately, and python3 `tkinter` breaks somewhere in libfontconfig. `gdb` works, though.
