A-Shell for Negative User Reviews

✓ Latest update just crashes up when openingApp has completely stopped working after most recent update. Just crashes when attempting to open. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and restarting my device several times and it just doesn’t work at all anymore!.LeonphotoVersion: 1.8.6

✓ Unfulfilled potentialThis app looks very promising but launching on my iPad Pro (11-inch) (3rd generation) running iOS 16.1.1 I get an unresponsive terminal prompt. Did I miss something?.BolongoneseVersion: 1.10.1

✓ Add help command-h is not a command So I don’t know what I can do with this thing.AkabdbifthkdlsksbdhdjdkjhbhVersion: 1.9.9

✓ Great app but hamstrung by ios?Thanks for creating Carnets and a-shell. They’ve both been essential for iOS programming. However, it seems that every app is restricted to accessing and modifying files that are only within their own respective directories? I can’t seem to cd my way into another folder that resides in the Carnets folder and vice versa (because Carnets doesn’t have its own terminal, for example) And secondly, there seems to be a problem when trying to install sklearn in a-shell. It keeps throwing up the error “setuptools not found” but when I pip install setuptools, it says that “requirement already fulfilled” and I have been able to use setuptools when making packages before so it seems that it is there but I can’t install sklearn? I’m not sure what can be done. Apologies if I’m doing something wrong. Thanks..CoffeenobagelVersion: 1.7.5

✓ Please add RANDOMIt’s decent but I really need a way of generating random numbers like the RANDOM variable most Unix systems have.XStrykerVersion: 1.3

✓ Seems like just a scam app and a lot of disappointmentIt sure promises a LOT of features I need, but I guess I’ll stick with the Alpine Linux container in iSH, cuz this app won’t even recognize my text inputs. I am not an iOS noob, and my day, I am a systems engineer for a network video company. I NEED these utilities on my iPhone, but not a single item can be used in the full @-shell and the mini is incapable of doing anything from inside the container where it exists. I couldn’t even run a simple SCP, rsync, or even ssh session to try and move files from a remote server. If this app isn’t a scam, it needs a lot of work, cuz I have worked through a whole week worth of remedy attempts, and have tried to reboot, reinstall, even factory reset and restored my iPhone from DFU mode (you read that correctly, I need this badly enough that I went scorched earth and started from scratch, and STILL cannot get this app to respond to my iPhone 13 Pro text inputs from any of my 3 keyboards) 🤦‍♂️ Fix it and I’ll fix my review. PLEASE!!!!.Stevo3985Version: 1.11.1

✓ Looks great, except for......the fact that the font size isn’t configurable..SpikeBillVersion: 1.4

✓ Good stuff but some flaws.One is you can’t run shell scripts. How about compiling bash or zsh just as a shell script interpreter? Second is the vim editor can get stuck in recover mode and the only way out is to re-install a-shell..MzeemartinVersion: 1.5.1

✓ App no longer opensThe app has ceased to function, and crashes when opened. I’ve tried redownloading, restarting my device, and the app still constantly crashes..Happy 7th graderVersion: 1.8.6

✓ Was working, then... broke?It was working fine when 2 things happened. 1. I pasted a string and the app went wild, and it pasted without creating a new line. 2. I tried to use twitch-dl and the app crashed and then changed font. I don’t even know how that’s possible but it did. I hope these can be fixed, I really appreciate the work! P.S. Quick question: where do the files “downloaded” go?.RhinozzVersion: 1.5.1

✓ Shell nonfunctionalIt appears that every single command on the system just isn't present. Even basic UNIX utilities like ls can't be found. Environment variables don't expand either. The only two commands that the shell could find was "help", which didn't do much in terms of help, and "sh", which is not actually the UNIX shell but the fake one that the app ships..KingChrysalisVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Shows promise but needs workDownloaded the app, ssh’d somewhere, and the app seemingly froze. Closed the app and re-opened and it was back, but the cursor was all over the place and make it very difficult to tell what was going on. Some tools have full versions (e.g. full-blown BSD grep is available, though I’d prefer GNU), and others are seemingly partially-implemented copycats (e.g. ssh). The shell itself isn’t even close to compatible with bash; basic things like variables, string interpolation, and if/for/while/etc do not exist. I was hoping to find a decent terminal emulator I could use for work. Unfortunately, this is not it..KnmorganVersion: 1.5.0

✓ To Basic too primitive.It deserves a place on at least providing something. But in honesty, like all the ‘terminal emulators’ for IOS they are pretty pathetic. GNU/Linux/BASH/KSH are so far in advance of anything offered on the Apple platforms it hardly make it worthwhile dealing with them. My solution to the complete lack of features (and commands) available in IOS terminal shell is to the stead use an ssh terminal provider and just go to a real *INUX workstation. It just became to frustrating dealing with the limitations of IOS shells..PjdomVersion: 1.9.9
