Good, but really requires root. Correct me if I'm wrong but there is no way to download kbox from within the app anymore. Kevin Boone's site says as much, and installing without root is not an option. This emulator is very good, but would be better if it allowed no root users access to functionality like ssh.

Paul Hedderly

Simply the best terminal / console for android Its beautiful, configurable. It gets out of your way when you want it to... tabs work brilliantly. Works with a GNote and a Transformer equally well. Back button on the Transformer can be remapped as Escape - wonderful. Even got mosh working with it.... nice win!

Nicholas Shake

ADB, UTF-8 AND ROOT WORK GREAT! LOVE THIS APP This is now my favorite terminal app. I can switch the input to Linux for other things if I want. I can make UTF-8 default or auto. I can change the colors. You can change the transparency. Its just perfect. Would pay 5 bucks for it

Doesn't maximize correctly on my phone Excellent. However it does not cope with being maximized on the NEC medias n-05e (a dual screen model) when the screens are combined. Nearly all other apps have no problem doing so. There's something wrong with the way it calculates the screen size.

Stuart Bradford

Best terminal so far I use airterm with thumb keyboard so I can customise my own keys such as / |. It really works. I can work on my webserver from my mobile phone and tablet,it actually feels odd when I'm on my laptop as got so used to this. A great app

A Google User

Best Term / SSH App by far This makes it very easy to just pop open a window and SSH to my servers. Love being able to resize window and have multiple windows on screen. Wish all apps would start using window tech (properly of course).

Awesome Love this. Only gripe I have is that I keep accidentally closing AirTerm by killing it instead of switching to the terminal. Please add a dialog asking confirmation before killing AirTerm.

No need for kBOX anymore for Marshallow and above.. Toybox in built! It will be good if can path the Toybox commands somehow?

Dave Day August 13, 2015

Perfect and Exactly what i needed. Working on my rooted Nethunter Nexus - I now have Kali working in multiple screens - perfect for my Wifu course that requires multiple terminals open all the time. thanks very much for this excellent app!

James Anon February 18, 2014

Solid app Great terminal application. Like others have said, you really need to have a rooted device to enjoy this app to the fullest extent.

A Google User September 8, 2012

One step closer to real cyberspace. Levitating translucent linux, I love it.

Kevin Kennedy May 3, 2014

Really great terminal Having a floating terminal is amazing, makes certain tasks possible, that aren't possible with having to switch from a dedicated terminal, to another app.

b4rc0de Prix November 23, 2016

Crashes immediately upon launch and no longer works. This should honestly be reported and kicked off the market. Its last update was in 2012... -_- This should be updated at least twice per month, every month. Not once every few years. I'll see to it that this app is reported.

Joe Riggs July 11, 2014

Epic Hands down the best terminal app I've ever seen for Android. Being able to access the terminal from any screen at any time is absolutely epic and useful. It's the equivalent of Guake on my computer which I adore.

EDIT: Doesn't appear to be working with Android Lollipop (Nexus 7 2013/Nexus 5). Apart from that it's a great Terminal Emulator.

Hemant Kumar February 23, 2014

loving it :) Its a must have app for a developer, I can access the terminal and video tutorials both at once., the experience is amazing,

Bennett Todd February 4, 2016

Seems to work just as described Nice for checking what's elsewhere on the system, or checking a text file of notes, while working in another app.

yuna braska October 3, 2015

i don't usually give 5 stars. i haven't tried it yet, but 5 stars for the floating UI. i hope this will not disappoint me.

Tn Crow February 10, 2017
