Pros and cons of SimplePi for Raspberry Pi app for iPhone and iPad

SimplePi for Raspberry Pi app good for

Very nice app Miss only see live results from commands but it is a very usefull aop
App worth its money, it work just fine, pure gui, fast responding, easy to use. And no f*cking annoying adds or in app purchases. Respect for a developer :-) Once more, thanks for useful product.
Very useful tool to remote control you Raspberry or Banana Pi/Pro. On the BananaPro it all works great except the temperature display.
This app is worth the money just to have a restart/shutdown option. Easy to setup and had no issues. Id love to see an ssh option but I am happy with my purchase!! Thanks for the great work. I just noticed the author also sells an ssh app so I am tickled pink! So worth the ~$5.99 for both.
This app is definitely worth the low price. Easy setup if youre familiar with Linux. Enable a static local IP, and port forwarding on your router for a convenient way to monitor/restart the system when youre away from home. The only thing Id like to see is a text editor for modifying config files and crontab. Tip: Set up a script to automatically email you if your IP address changes.
I use this app on a daily basis to run various maintenance scripts for multiple Raspberry Pis. It works great. Only found one little bug when it comes to adding existing scripts to a script group but otherwise Im very pleased! Thank you for this great app!

Some bad moments

I was very excited about this app but whenever I attempt to connect to my device, I get the message "IP address cannot be empty." I have filled in all of the necessary fields correctly. There doesnt seem to be any app support available either.
This is exactly what I was looking for to keep an eye on my new pi and more. Have only used the basic features so far, but from what I can tell I don’t expect any problems. Slick and simple UI, stupid easy to connect to my Pi. No complaints at all so far.
Excellent improvements on a promising app. I really like the new additions specially the scripts library, this will hopefully open the world of its benefits.
This app is a great way to get your pi projects monitoring up and fast on your phone. I cant wait to see what further implementations the developer can make. Definitely worth the asking price for its function.
This app is awesome! I just wish you could use the terminal like how you can with regular ssh.
Well done Benedikt, this is a useful app with a clean interface. Keep up the good work, brgds.
