Completely unusable due to microscopic font that doesn't seem to let you enlarge it.

Works wonderfully. After wading through a multitude of telnet client apps that almost work with there free version, and no way to trial the pay version, found this one that not only works better than any of the others I've tried, but has the features that the other apps promise will work if you pay for them included free. If anyone finds a better telnet client for android, let me know, but I doubt you will.

Bought this app and an Airconsole to do serial over bluetooth, but didn't work with my Nexus 9- Sent email to developer informing of this issue. Quickly replied informing me that the airconsole paired with an Android tablet must be named airconsole-xx

No update for nearly 2 years! **edit** for those who do not use swype keyboard it could do with TAB and ARROW KEYS on interface as on Cisco equipment you have to keep retyping the entire cli command. This app is the intended accompanyment to Airconsole ** Original review** Use this with my Note 4 in the field. A very good terminal client, especially if you are using airconsole as well...

Text is tiny, impossible to read. Unable to use this app. Ipad version is better because you can zoom, but it's still buggy, hence why I tried this one.

By the way, tab and up arrow work just fine using Swype keyboard.

About this app

SerialBot is a Telnet/SSH client with integrated support for RS232 Serial connections via Wifi-to-Serial or Bluetooth-to-Serial adaptors such as Airconsole. Use SerialBot to connect to serial ports such as router console ports, industrial equipment and other devices that have RS232 connections from your Android device.

Serial Bot is a port of the popular ConnectBot SSH/Telnet terminal app. It has been modified to specifically support RS232 serial ports via wifi/bluetooth-to-serial adaptors that use RFC2217 extensions to support setting the Baud rate, flow control, parity and other settings directly from the app prior to connecting to the serial port over Wifi.

SerialBot has been built by Cloudstore, the company that makes Get Console on the iOS platform, and the Airconsole Serial over Ethernet adaptor. Airconsole is a portable, battery powered Serial-over-Bluetooth/WIFI/Wired Ethernet all in one adaptor that works with Android, Apple iOS, Mac OSX and Win 7/8.
