Get Console App Reviews

Been using this app at work on my iPad 2 ever since it first came out. Honestly it gets better with every upgrade. I recently upgraded to iOS 8 and Im now finding Im unable to connect to cisco switches with it. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the app with no improvement. Ive had the cable for awhile, so its possible the cable has finally worn out. Id hang off on upgrading to iOS 8 if you rely on this tool. The only other problem I have with the app is that the last line of the screen is always covered by the keyboard.

Ive used it wth my iPad 2. Worked okay. Doesnt connect at all with my iPhone 6.

Does not work on iPhone 6 Plus

Whether you have the serial cable or are just looking for a telnet/SSH client its the only one Ive found that satisfactorily supports an external keyboard. Has a good no-frills and frills mode. Highly recommend.

especially if you have a keyboard. Ive got a great clamshell bluetooth keyboard case and Get Console is nearly unusable with a keyboard. If you start the app in landscape mode, it comes up portrait and the screen refuses to adjust regardless how much you rotate back and forth. The app insists it be used in portrait and theres nothing obvious or easy within the menus to make it easy to rotate. The menu structure is confusing: you will create a multitude of new connections all named New SSH Connection or telnet. Renaming is not intuitive or obvious. The big selling point (to me) is the web interface for providing remote access -- and I like that -- but it cant help me get past the UI problems. Fix that and Id give it 4 stars -- maybe 5, but if I cant use it, then its zero stars.

Im a network admin and have worked with lots of terminal apps on many platforms, from procomm plus and an app to get console sessions into Cisco gear on my PalmPilot to more recently iSSH, TouchTerm and SecureCRT for Mac and iPad. I really like the Get Console advanced options to import saved sessions from SecureCRT and PuTTY, but unfortunately that feature doesnt work. I like that I can sync sessions between my iPad and IPhone with iCloud, but that doesnt work either (but Dropbox does - mostly). I like that I can create login scripts, which does work, but a script can only be used for one device, then it disappears and has to be re-created from scratch. I like that it saves passwords, but you can only recall them from the iPad app, not the iPhone, and the passwords dont appear to sync. Generally, the app seems to work - it will give a console session via ssh, and the red park console adapter cable works for direct serial connections, but it is clunky, has lost my saved sessions several times, is unintuative, and just tough to get set up. I havent attempted transferring capture files and configs - Ive been so annoyed at trying to just get connections set up I havent gotten that far.

This program needs to support the iPhone 6/6+ and iPad Pro screen sizes, as well as split screen and multitasking.

It was a great App and I loved it before, especially sync connections with secureCRT on dropbox.com, but after upgrade to latest version (with ios 9.1) it crash and close unfortunately :( I hope that developer fix it ASAP :(

I have to agree here. Redpark cable works for serial, not sure if theyre making a non-30 pin cable yet. Cant switch out of the app though. Current version for iOS 9.1 crashes immediately on ssh attempt.

Great App with best features, like as Dropbox Sync, copy & paste and more. New edition is BUG free. Thanks alot :) Be connected ;)

I am a network engineer and I use this along with the get console dongle to wirelessly serial into switches .. Its awesome I use it with my phone and my iPad speaking of ........it would be nice if it supported split screen with Safari on the iPad Pro
