Telnet Lite App Reviews

Oh well. I only downloaded the free version so I didnt lose money - only a little faith in developers who put out stuff that does not work at all. Couldnt even perform one connect. Just crashes. iTunes needs to allow a zero star rating.

Not v3 compatible. Its totally useless, dont waste your time.

Downloaded this & after a few tries to understand how to get it working just right I was able to log on to a TWGS server & play Trade Wars 2002, an ancient BBS game, on my iPhone. Very happy with this app. Wish you could scroll up further!

I can access my BBS hobby with this app and Im very happy it was free!

You cannot control how received line-endings are handled. I need to connect to an application that sends lf (n) terminated lines. But, Mocha Telnet Lite (and probably Mocha Telnet) will not insert the cr (r). This causes the output to "stair-step" down the screen. I wrote the developer and their response was "we dont do that." Well, I dont buy their products. Otherwise, the app does, mostly, what it says. But, the display is crude and the characters hard to read. Too bad there is not a better free telnet app out there, and I dont feel like paying $10 just to find another app with the same problem. I resolved my problem by creating a special account that runs the telnet as its login app, and I connect with ssh.

Needs a way to press arrow keys and a way to change font codepage.

If keyboard is up, the bottom of the telnet window is covered by the keyboard. U cant move the telnet window up far enough to see what u r typing. Not good for BBSs.

Adds Control key to keyboard. Use Control-[ to create <ESC> key for VT100 keyboard emulation (e.g. <ESC>OP for F1 or PF1). Can be used in a pinch for most needs. However its a pain to use the <ENTER> key since its not available on the keyboard but has to be selected from the apps header section, the same way you select the <Control> key. Should be available via the normal iPhone keyboard. Best used in landscape mode (yes, even for 80 column) since screen cant be resized or moved like in other apps.

Simply does not work. You connect to a host and do not get proper prompts to log in as you do in terminal, so its worthless.

Login prompt is displayed but no matter what you do it does not respond to any input.

Connects to host just fine, but you cant log into the server.

First of all, this is a utility. I expected it to be rudimentary. It does exactly what I wanted and needed it to do. It works on Windows servers. I love it for telnet alone! So much so, I am gonna purchase the full blown version because the guy deserves to get paid for what I use in the free version. For old school telnet guys like myself, its perfect.

Works perfectly for my server running perl. It sends and receives just like its supposed too.

I downloaded this light app, simply to try out an online MUD server. So for what its worth, it does the job, and so far has given no back talk or nagging.

There is no Done button, so it would not accept my settings.

SSH is the standard for security, I see some folks gave this more than one star, but then I question anyone who is using telnet.

Does exactly what a Telnet client does! Its like being at my computer using Telnet from command line and might be even slightly better than that. There is some minor configuration to be done like turning on LR to CRLF switch for most telnet servers but youll figure it out pretty quick. Handy tool for support! Convenient!

Text entry is very slow and the keyboard animations are very laggy, if this were fixed this app would be so much better. A separate input line would be nice, as would ANSI color support.

It connects to the MU* servers I want, but it wont log on, manually or with automatic logon. Basically no use for me.
