The new rendering engine or session management appeared to have introduce quite a few regressions: long connected sessions don’t render and seem stuck after idle and when returning to the app. All the different sessions just basically got stuck and I found myself closing the tab and start over.

Says it all.

Based on the ratings, it seems that users either love or hate it. I am pleased with it, as it allows me to remotely open a terminal that is connected to my remote MacBook Pro. A terminal is not an interface for the faint-of-heart, but for more technically oriented users. It required some work on my MacBook Pro, though it was a breeze as ClaudeCode held my hand throughout the process. With this app now I can open a ClaudeCode terminal in my iPhone, or iPad, via SSH or MOSH, and work on it as if I was directly sitting in front my Mac. Worth $20/year in my opinion. Again: it requires some work on the Mac side. Based on the few reviews I read, seems to me, that those complaining either did not know how to set up the Mac side correctly, and/or do not want to pay for it. I have TailScale on my Mac, which made it easier though.

This thing basically works right every time without any unnecessary bells or whistles. The $20 annual was a no-brainer.

Great stuff

The description states, “Blink Shell Classic $0.00”. There is no “Classic” option. There is no “Free trial.” There is no $9.99 version. It is all a lie. You must pay $19.99 before you can get past the app’s initial screen. Blink on that.

It would be nice to have a way to highlight and copy a long prompt, rather than pinch to zoom out.

I’m running a software startup on top of a full time job. I’ve used every terminal under the sun for MacOS and this is truly the only one I feel at home on. It just works the way I the way I expect and love that it has it’s own shell that you use to connect or send commands. I love how mosh keeps things connected. When I go on lunch breaks or can get away from my day job for a few minutes I use my iPad via cellular/tailscale and have no hiccups. Being able to grab a lightweight device and complete 95% of what I can do with a MBP by connecting to my MBP is just amazing. The VSCode integration works well too however using neovim/tmux on the MacBook via Mosh is my preferred flow. The MacBook has to stay connected to peripherals required to validate my code changes and now I can work remote and don’t have to splurge on a higher end Mac mini or studio or carry a ton of stuff with me:)

It says it’s a free trial but it attempts to charge. Luckily all final transactions needs my approval via text otherwise instant denial. I do not recommend this app. Rip off and they are legit scamming and stealing. App Store shouldn’t allow this.
