I have a love-hate relationship with iSSH. I use it every day and don't have any problems with graphical glitches, despite using screen and a 256-colour Vim scheme. I'm not using a retina iPad though; maybe that's related.

I'd love an actual fullscreen iSSH too. If only it was open source so we could improve it...!

The only thing I have to compare it to is connectbot, which works great on all of my android phones. It actually keeps the connection for as long as it stays running and at least tries to support touch events (scrolling with your finger sends pageup/down apparently). Ideally, I would be able to touch the screen and resize tmux panes, vim's split windows as well as scrolling in tmux's copy mode and vim. None of that is possible and I'd rather use the keyboard anyway, but not being able to remap caps lock is a serious issue for me. iSSH's only feature to alleviate this is to remap the option key to control, but that has its own set of issues and isn't where I want it to be on the keyboard anyway.
