that seems like a gross generalization. Having had and used both android and iOS I never saw that behavior in myself or others.
I have to agree with OP, i don't understand the excitement over this SSH client, interface included. A shell prompt is one of the oldest interfaces. iOS can support 3D graphics rendering and gaming and panic is selling a $5 SSH prompt. Seems bizarre.
- cschmidt 15y agoSure, maybe I'm over generalizing. However, I keep reading stories about how it is hard to make money in Android, like this one.... Doom Creator Says Android Not Profitable http://www.mobiledia.com/news/87020.html http://www.mobiledia.com/news/87020.html
- dcope 15y agoThe excitement is not just over "an SSH client". Knowing that Panic engineered and designed it is a huge selling point. They've been known for years to make some of the best software for OS X. This is their first venture into iOS and they don't disappoint. I will (and actually did) gladly pay $5 for software that is designed well and works very well.
- ugh 15y agoThere is next to no software I can think of where a $5 price point would be bizarre. How can a $5 SSH client even begin to be bizarre?
- Udo 15y agoBeing able to ssh into a server while on the road with nothing more than an iPad is a feature that has value to some people (like me, for example). For an app that is really useful, the difference between $5 and free is negligible. I just paid more for my coffee than I did for Prompt, and I didn't think about that twice either.
