Re: Where are the instructions or manual?

I don't think that's what either Jared or I are saying here. Jared
was probably one of the first users of iSSH. He saw it in all it's
1.0 suckiness! It's come a long way. And yes, I need to update the
documentation. And in fact I'm paying someone already to take care of
it as I've got my hands full.

But I'll say this: I don't compare myself and the price of my app to
games or fart apps. That's the proverbial apples to oranges
comparison. I compare myself to the price of other remote apps that
are consistently updated like mine (and of course, have varying
degrees of "good"/"in-app" documentation). Which ones are those?
iTeleport, iTap RDP client, Desktop Connect, VNC Viewer and LogMeIn,
to name a few. When you fit me into that list (and take into account
you only need to buy one copy for iPhone and iPad use) I'm a crazy
bargain at my current price.

Remember, what you're saying isn't falling on deaf ears. I've been
getting complaints about documentation for a while now. All in good
time!
