I'm a big fan of Revanced, but I haven't heard of Morphie - do you have a link for it? (I tried searching, but all I'm coming up with are cosmetics, chargers, and an IRC app.)
Edit: found it: https://morphe.software/ - looks like it's sort of an offshoot of ReVanced that only supports Youtube at the moment.
And, for those who weren't aware of ReVanced, see https://revanced.app/ - it was originally just a tweaked version of the YouTube app called Vanced (an "advanced" YouTube app, but without the "ad"s ;) - but now it's a tool that can patch a bunch of different apps.
I haven't used my Pro purchase in years, but if I did want to ssh from my phone today, I'd use the newish Terminal app, available since Android 15. It's a full Debian virtual machine.
I just tried to purchase pro from within the app just to see what the price is, and the Google Play purchase popup tells me it's not available. Interesting.
Not trying to defend the developer here but they went really silent once before like this. Then came out of the gate with a bunch of updates and new features.
I'm hoping they've just got really busy with life, I know when I emailed them before they have been responsive and helpful.
I mean hell they might have died? Does the Store have a process for this?
This app has been around a long time so I don't understand the rugpull comments.
Also the syned keys are (supposedly, I guess we don't have the source) encrypted so even if the dev is no longer active that aspect should be secure I hope.
My Pro features still seem to be working for me. EDIT: No, I see now that Cloud Sync isn't a thing anymore. Looks like it's really lost its backend servers.
The article says "the purchase made in 2019 is not recognized anymore". The seller unilaterally taking back something you previously bought, especially without a refund, is a rug pull.
I have been unable to find a SSH app for iOS that I like since I switched from Android. Just one of many reasons I will be switching back to Android for my next phone.
I am not contending truth here, but also I have never even tried / considered anything outside of termux + unexpected keyboard, and I can't imagine anything improving my experience.
what makes juicessh so good? I guess I'm asking for a "Convince me to try it" style review of juice.
I've been using this app for years. A couple months I needed to use forwarding, which is a Pro feature.
I thought I already bought it years ago, but the app asked me to pay so I bought it again. It instantly locked me out of the whole app. Later I checked and I had bought pro already in 2014 (for 5€, and I paid 30€ this time). Absolutely no answer to my emails.
Just a cynical observation here, but its funny how the author still hangs onto the notion that it is "the best" despite that it de facto cannot be "the best."
Also, maybe dont rely on a poorly maintained app for making secure connections to your systems? Just me?
Yikes. I also just noticed that all the plugins (part of the pro feature set) rely on separate apk downloads from the Play Store, which all appear to be dead/delisted. This is really a shame, I too have thought of this as "the best" Android SSH client in the past.
Support is unresponsive, this looks like an exit scam.
Finally this is getting traction after leaving many of us out of pocket.
Both developers [1] are working in management at Microsoft and AWS while ignoring emails, leaving JuiceSSH to rot because they couldn't be bothered to wrap up cleanly (refund, release a final update with pro features enabled, release the source code etc.)

Don't bother going back to Google either. A Play store "support specialist" just told me:
I tried to create a refund request but its not allowing to create one since the date of the transaction is out of our refund policy as we can only process refunds for up to 120 days only after the transaction was charged.

In other words, any Google Play app is allowed to just pull the plug on features after four months and pocket the money. Wonderful...

Really? I always gave that award to Termius, which is kind of my second best behind Servercat which I miss very dearly from the iOS environment.
Also, Mosh shell support for sshing in degraded connection environments!

I bought JuiceSSH years ago on Android and it worked great, but I agree it's degraded, and I couldn't find an equivalent I liked.
iOS has multiple apps that beat JuiceSSH. I use Termix and it's really, really good.

Thanks for the instructions.

I think ed25519 would be both shorter sigs in authorised_keys and definitely NOT what I used "back then"
