About this app

ConnectBot is a powerful open-source Secure Shell (SSH) client. It can manage simultaneous SSH sessions, create secure tunnels, and copy/paste between other applications.

This client allows you to connect to Secure Shell servers that typically run on UNIX-based servers.

Ratings and reviews

Great, user-friendly app. Have had no issues connecting or staying connected. The stay connected setting is a godsend tbh, makes rebooting my Pi less tedious because I no longer have to ssh into my Pi every time after rebooting. HIGHLY RECOMEND, will be one of the first apps to be installed on future phones I may get. NOTE: images on the Play Store appear to be outdated. The UI has been updated with a more "eye friendly" design since they uploaded the photos

Something has changed where I can no longer copy the public key and there's no way to import my key from my old phone. right now the app is useless until I can copy the public key. Previous:This app works very well as described. I have had no problems connecting to my servers either directly through ssh or through openvpn. My only request is adding SCP capabilities. I'd pay for it.

Seems to be missing features that were supposedly added more than 5 years ago. Terminals are in this weird non-mono font with no option to change it, and the cursor is broken. There's this fun new bug with public keys that seems to only exist in the Google Play version. The GitHub seems to completely ignore F-Droid, though that seems to be the less broken version. Each individual issue would make ConnectBot worse than running the ssh command on its own, but added up it's all a horrible mess.
