Termux user reviews :

Best linux command line on android. Good for those suffering from command line withdrawal. If you’re greedy for more power and control, use this tool and use it wisely.

i love this app if u are searching for terminal then u must install this app.. i m well satisfied with this app. 1)it works without root also. 2)easy to install. 3)user friendly (if commands are known). 4)it can perform lot of operations on android. 5)faster and smoother. 6)we can use kali linux tools on this terminal. 7) No advertisements. 8) requires less storage space. there are many advantages according to users work. i preferred you to install this awesome app.

OK, the Termux team offered a solution to the screen bar problem, so I correct my rating. And to be honest, I *need* Termux. W/o it I would have had to throw my Android tablet away a looong time ago, for Google crippled the Linux on it so badly that w/o Termux you would have to invent something like it. Termux offers everything you need for a full Linux command line distro and makes live worth living inside the Android Universe..

This is the best app for any serious programmer/hacker/geek (like me) or complete linux beginner. I seriously have a (almost) full linux installation on my tablet, a web server running 24/7 on another, and a phone for quick python scripts when they pop into my head. I even have a desktop vnc so I can connect it to my computer for long coding sessions! I can even setup SSHD and FTPD on my tablet’s web server in case it goes offline. Thank you so much fredrik! you did an AMAZING job on this app!

This is a great app! You probably can’t do everthing with Termux but if you have reasonable expectations of what’s possible, then you will not be disappointed. It gets better all the time. Maybe some packages may not work and not all libraries are available for Arm but you can do a great deal: ssh, zsh, git, nodejs, Python 2 & 3, zsh, powerline fonts (with Termux-Styling plugin). I can work anywhere with just my Android tablet and the battery lasts hours, unlike my PC. :-)

Hands down the best terminal emulator for Android. Period. Not only does it support the standard SSH client, multiple session etc but it also comes with a copy of apt-get (invoked as pkg) with some custom PPAs so you can install whatever functionality you need. Full blown Linux prompt. Haven’t tried rooting with it yet (don’t think it helps you root, but it lets you do cool stuff if you already have). I recommend using this with Hacker’s Keyboard (unrelated developer) with arrow keys etc.

This app is amazing, you can use almost all the tools you’re used to from a regular desktop Linux. I mostly use it for ssh, but also did some programming (C++ and Python) on my phone with it. I can even run Jupyter Notebook from it!

I dont know what i would do without this to entertain myself through the extra boring times. 5 stars all day. I started with this on a non-root phone as well and it is unbelievably compatible (note 9). Mostly use it on nexus 5 now. such a large following the help you need is a a page away. kudos to the developer.

This is the best linux based terminal for android, I ever use. I am in love with your apps.  I started to use it almost 3 years ago. Everyday I explore it & learn something new. It never failed to satisfy me. Thanks man for making & developing this kind of app. Take love from Bangladesh

it is an awsome app linux based environment gives you capabality of doing linux based task in android mobile. i am using this app from 6months and its amazing. it is open source ao one can get easily get the grip to use it. users can get thousands of online tutorials from the jnternet and many people are available in market to help you out if you get into some kind of problem using termux. people who want to use linux terminal but they dont have the systems then this app is useful for them a
