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!

缺少ESC，CTRL，ALT，INS，END，SHIFT等必要按键，而且那个方向键也极其的不方便，不要说什么为了简洁，简洁之前要看看实不实用（Translation: Lack of necessary keys such as ESC, CTRL, ALT, INS, END, SHIFT, etc., and the directional keys are extremely inconvenient. Don't say it's for simplicity, before simplicity, we need to see if it's practical）

Very cool, used on a iPad mini 2 16gb. I am a prominent user of Linux and wanted to use it on my tablet, but shell isn’t very usable without x11 support as my device does not do usb mass storage. It does have a range of packages, but I am also only used to bash shell contrary to what ish uses. Otherwise good app.

PLEASE UPDATE RUBY

This app is exactly what I needed on my iPad for coding without my mac! I’ve always wanted to be able to do light development in c/c++ and python with git support on the iPad and this app perfectly allows for this. I was able to install z shell instead of the base ash that comes with this version of linux as it better matches mac. Everything I wanted to install in the environment was able to be installed (though like mentioned, I only really wanted to be able to do minimal work on projects while away from my desktop). Like some others mentioned, it can be slow at times and have keyboard inputs freeze where you have to restart the app. Also, I wish there was additional themes for the app and native support of multiple windows. Overall this has been the best linux environment I have used on my iPad and would highly recommend this to any developer!
