Ratings and reviews

Best terminal emulator and one of the most useful apps on my phone. It is the needed piece to turn your phone in basically a Linux comupter. Hunderts of packages can be installed through Apt and used as in a computer without problems (including vim, git, man, python, C...) and even more using PRoot. Works without root access and can access internal storage folders. Features a fully customizable extra key row that can show keys such as Tab, Ctrl, arrows... Can open multiple sessions. No ads

Termux is an insanely amazing app for developers and students! It turns your phone into a full-fledged CS Workstation. Whether you're traveling or just want to code on the go, this app delivers speed, efficiency, and power in a sleek, intuitive interface. It’s like having a mini computer in your pocket! Hats off to the developers for creating such a masterpiece. Highly recommended! 🌟💻🚀

this is one of the most useful apps I've ever used on my phone. i can basically turn my useless phone into a Linux machine. as a developer, this is a game changer for mobile dev. i like experimenting with different tools, so now i can do that while I'm waiting in a line or travelling. im planning to connect wireless keyboard and mouse, which will make this even better. no issues, runs smooth, completely shattered my expectations. 11/10
