  They should try 'Prompt' for iOS, it's really very good. https://panic.com/prompt/ https://panic.com/prompt/

    So I just tried Prompt. I'm a heavy ServerAuditor user; I spend much time away from real computers but have 12 windows in screen perma-open keeping a lot of "context" (coding, IRC, etc) alive for me. It's better in some minor aspects: it's finally possible to screen -D -rr automatically upon connect; but it has an annoying top bar that can't be hidden; I use large font sizes (I'm often in shaky buses and trains) and it ends up using too much screen space in an iPad mini. ServerAuditor is also more configurable re: fonts and colors and such, although the default font in Prompt is pretty good.

  Personally I'm very happy with ConnectBot for Android. I'd like to know why he considers this a better option.

    I also like it and it is sufficient for me, I use it to make tunnels for VNC to get to a GUI on the server to get status updates (I have RAM to spare). Tasker[0] is also a nice option for doing things via SSH.

    I've reviewed all the SSH clients in the Play store and I've found JuiceSSH to be the best by far. The only reason I could think to stay on ConnectBot is the added security (as it is open source). But with XPrivacy I feel the risk is managed. You should check it out!

    Personally: ConnectBot has weird formatting issues, problems with keyboard input, and doesn't play nice with tmux. Ultimately it's what I use because it's the most tolerable, but I've yet to find a good Android ssh client.

      Friends and people on my blog told me JuiceSSH is cool, maybe try that?

        Closed source, unfortunately |:(

  I'm happy with ServerAuditor, but I'll be sure to check every suggestion that comes in the comments.
