## iSH Shell Reviews in Vereinigte Staaten

### *---- "缺少必要按键（Translation: Missing necessary buttons）"
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）
-- Wan Kexing, 2025-02-02

### ***-- "Questionable usablility."
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.
-- Heckerubuntu, 2025-01-18

### ****- "kali"
PLEASE UPDATE RUBY
-- huanchen0217, 2025-01-05

### ***** "Great Linux Enviorment"
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!
-- Jacobd29, 2024-12-29

### ***** "So good"
Allowed me to ssh into my cloudflare tunnel using the cloudflared package and ProxyCommand. This app runs so well and fast. It’s crazy
-- richardroberson, 2024-12-16

### ****- "Great App but it drains Battery"
It is a really impressive app but it drains your battery a lot.
-- IntelGamer58, 2024-12-13

### ***** "Prevent mounting of root directory to a directory on iPhone"
It’s just a bug I found. Trying to mount the root directory onto a folder in On My iPhone/iPad causes the whole thing to break.
-- gagsshxjsna), 2024-12-12

### ****- "Where’s the web browser?"
This needs a browser like links or lynx or something like browsh built in. You know, for accessibility testing (closest thing to browsing in Braille without learning Braille…)
Also, the presence of a browser engine justifies JIT!
-- Nai-De, 2024-12-06

### ***** "ran rm -rf /* and it worked"
didn't open until i reinstalled, 10/10
-- thomasc2011, 2024-12-03

### **--- "Crashes"
Only complaint I have is the app crashes continuously
-- jtgentleman, 2024-11-18

### ***-- "Upgrade"
Apk upgrade does nothing
-- soydepr, 2024-10-12

### ****- "Works, but is slow"
Fully functional Alpine Linux shell, but is too slow for my purposes.
-- jackemled, 2024-10-06

### ***-- "Able to SSH with it"
This thing is impressive but needs some setup (install openssh with apk) before you can use it like an SSH client.

I will go from 3 stars to 5 if you can somehow get key repeat to work. beware that iPadOS has a tendency to show an annoying accented key popup when holding down keys, depending on how the text entry is implemented.
-- outoffase, 2024-09-08

### ***** "Beautiful"
What a fantastic app!  My use cases are: 1) true plain text editing for iOS (i can mount my iCloud drive and use vim to edit text files...finally I can edit plaintext without using some other GUI-based 3rd-party app and I can sidestep Apple's Notes app which is fine but littered with too much style formatting assumptions...it's not pure plain text)❤️, 2) running python terminal apps (super lightweight and no fluff...a beautiful, purist way to run text parsing and data/file manipulation tools)❤️, 3) generating .wav or .aiff files with sox which can be saved to my mounted iCloud folder and then played on the iPhone❤️
-- Rob7cc, 2024-09-08

### ***** "yay"
I sudo rm -rf /‘d the system. Does this have a display? (besides terminal) (old)
(new)
I just installed Fedora Linux on my Chromebook. Perfect. Absolutely divine. If you want a distro, it’s Fedora. User friendly, better than mint, smaller than mint (i see why people call ubuntu bloatware, i had 15 GB/29.6 GB just from install), just use Fedora. Screw ubuntu, Screw debian, Screw Mint, Fedora is THE ONE. Looks good, works good, and this is coming from someone who:
Hasn’t used Fedora before
Hasn’t used it for more than 15 minutes
Is a child
Only installed 1 program (supertuxkart)
It’s PERFECT.
This app is also good, found a way to sudo rm -rf / the app.
Both: 10/10
-- sonic19204839, 2024-09-05

### ***-- "Bad system call"
Too many “Bad system call” for example for python or zsh
-- Elyggggg, 2024-09-02

### ***-- "Great App but needs 64bit support"
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.
-- foo15270, 2024-08-11

### *---- "Please fix errors"
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
-- OathOne, 2024-07-24

### ***** "Must have"
The best app on iPad by far
-- h102, 2024-06-23

### ****- "good start"
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.
-- jcomeauictx, 2024-06-18
