Pros and cons of Mocha Telnet app for iPhone and iPad

Mocha Telnet app good for

This is exactly what I needed to connect to my ERP(Mfg/Pro) on a HP/UX. - The slick "Fxx" and "Num" keyboards are why I choosed the paid app. Need it for my ERP. - The possibility to modify keys value. (I replaced F1 for Pf1 action key of the old vt220 terminal) - Portrait and landscape format. - Hability to zoom. - Would be even better if there would be an auto fit to screen function. Exellent works guys !
Works exactly as expected - MochaSoft is delivering quality applications at an excellent price. To get this functionality on any other phone/handheld we used to be held hostage to the one or two developers who could write for those platforms - I paid $99 bucks for an SSH client for the Blackberry - best of breed, did exactly what it should do, but on the PLATFORM it sucked. Yes, there was a free version, but it did not hold a candle to the paid app. And I only paid $6.x for this app that beats anything I used before. YES, we need SSH and need it NOW, but until then I can use MochaVNC to VNC to my Linux desktop on a VPN, and use SSH from there to wherever I need to go. Did not even try out the FREE version, bought the paid version right off, suggest all add it to their application list and wait patiently, it is only a matter of time before either MochaSoft produces SSH or some other vendor - I prefer MochaSoft simply because they have an excellent track record so far. Now if they could produce a tethering app
While this app does telnet beautifully, it does not do SSH. I tried it to port 22 and it will telnet to the SSH server port on the machine in question... but does not establish an SSH connection. I suspect the implementation of the key exchange may be a little more complicated. Hopefully MochaSoft will include this in a future update.
Sure its not SSH, but when you combine this app with the iPhones native VPN support - youve got a secure useful command line solution. I paid $2 for that other "Telnet" telnet app last week - and I think that for 3 times the price, this version from Mocha is 10 times better! The interface is smooth, it supports zooming, and best of all, and it allows you to re-map the function keys! (The $2 one doesn’t even support functions navigation or interrupt keys). This application is going to make my life (and my job) a heck of a lot easier. Don’t grade it too harshly because its not SSH… this app delivers on everything it promises. Five Stars! Thanks Mocha! This thing is worth every penny!
This software works very well with a vt320 terminal program as well. I van monitor and create server reports and data from my iPhone. This is awesome!
Is there no way to enter "nextlines" in a macro, or am I just dumb?

Some bad moments

Its junk. Wont connect to Qnap server and the screen wont fit in landscape. Save your money and try something else
ssh-1/ssh-2 support please! Mocha W32 Telnetと同じスペックでsshまでサポートだったら完璧だったのに。
If you -need- telnet on your iPhone and iPad then this works... the biggest complaint for me is how obtuse it is to use. Also it doesnt support ANSI if youre looking for that.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MAC COMPUTER TO USE THIS APP. DONT GET IT!!
Save your money, this is a worthless app. Unable to use - times out way to fast. Unable to connect.
Only 8 macros available... This issue is really an obstacle since its a mobile app, which obviously mean that you dont want to have to manually enter most of the commands! They promised an update few months ago to resolve this issue and I promised to otherwise write a negative review. Here it is. This app is clearly useless with a so limited amount of macros. And, yes, Im refering to the paid version...
