vSSH Lite App Reviews

Not but, but German Version

Constantly bombard you with nags to buy the “full” version. Always interrupt your work.

It works well but it keeps asking if you want to buy full version. This is annoying as it get in front to the terminal session you are working on. It should do it only once or should allow to disable it...

I wanted an SSH client for my Macbook along the lines of putty for occasional use. This is not the one. every command entered pops up another window saying buy me taking focus off of the main window its annoying. I understand the getting paid for what you do but at this rate I was unable to determine if it was a tool that I could make use of as I hosed a bunch of scripts do to the other window

I have a real problem with developers that only put up “lite” versions in order to constantly bombard you with nags to buy the “full” version. This version is really not all that usable because it is constantly interrupting you in the middle of using it telling you to buy the full version for full features. Instead, they should be up front and honest that it is only for demo reasons. Or, they should make it usable without interruption with the basic features and only put in the “upgrade” notices when you go to use a feature that is only in the full version. Stay away from this one!

This version keeps displaying a pop-up to buy the paid version. I cannnot see buying an SSH client for OS X, when there is a great ssh client built that can be ran from Terminal in OS X. Not only is the builtin OS X SSH client proven and realiable (with no annoying pop-ups), it can be scripted in Bash since it’s a CMD applicaiton. Save $5 and get a cheeseburger or put it towards your child’s education.

All the nags aside .. why would you pay money for a full version of this? The build in OS X terminal is just as good. There’s also iTerm (not in the app store) which is free, has loads more features (including an extremely useful “visor” mode), and iTerm is more powerful than the built in Terminal.
