Ratings and reviews

Android 10: Mukluk doesn't work on Android 10 phones. It simply crashes after being open, particularly with multiple instances. Android 9 and lower: Mukluk is a stable client best suited for MU*ing, and at its finest on MUX. Ability to scroll through poses with a finger swipe is superior to MuClient. Two downsides are a lack of keepalive for PennMush (connections die after 5 minutes tops) and the command box doesn't expand. If those could be added, this would be a perfect five.

A really decent client for MUDing but it could use a built in trigger, timer, alias nested along one side of the screen that can be accessed by swiping and directional GUI around the screen when tapped lightly. Maybe a notebook page nested along the other side of the screen too that can be accessed by swiping.

Really good client and feels much quicker than Blowtorch, which is great. The only thing I'd ask for is the option to leave the last command in the command bar so that you can quickly repeat inputs
