This is unfortunate. I recently searched the App Store for “ssh tunnel” and Prompt 2 came up. I bought it without much thought as I heard about.

Now I should have done my research but it doesn’t support tunneling or I couldn’t figure out. Some research told me that no iOS ssh client will. So I requested a refund and got it.

In this case I think the blame was on Apple. Not the author of the app.

I don’t know how you can blame either party.

If my kid wants a dvd about beetles (the bugs), and I click on a Beatles (the band) documentary instead, that’s neither the seller or producers fault.

It's Apple's fault that they made a standard ssh feature impossible on ios, yet still allow apps to be called "ssh".

No dvd player manufacturer created a dvd store where they sell dvds called "The Beatles" but every Beatles dvd is missing Ringo because their dvd store censors Ringo, but dvds are still named The Beatles.

So are you angry at the platform restrictions or the App Store?

They are two different things.
