Go2Shell App Reviews

Please make new icons for the retina display macbook pro. It looks really fuzzy.

If you do any type of work in the console then this is an absolute must have app. After install, make sure you open up your apps folder and drop the Go2Shell Icon onto your Finder toolbar. This will make your life so much easier!!! I have to give props to the Alice Dev team for releasing such a great and useful app for free!

Does what it claims. I like that I can configure the terminal application to use (iTerm FTW).

I just wish that there was an option to just move my current shell to the given directory ratehr tha always opening a new terminal…

Currently the button image " > _ < " looks like a funny (ouch) face. I suggest the icon to be something that looks like " > _ " to look more like a real terminal prompt.

It is good but make the icon size like standard default finder toolbar buttons. It is smaller doesnt look good.

This app does exactly what it claims. It does it efficiently and completely reliably. I have been using it for many months without ever once thinking to complain about it. In fact, I took so long to write a review because I never really thought about it, I just used it. That is just the way an app of this sort should be.

Cant ask for more from an app. Super helpful.

Works perfectly even on my highly custom shell in zsh using iTerm2. Very satisfied! I was using another product before this that launched me into a Terminal shell using bash. Now I can have my custom shell launched. Like the other guy said read the install instructions or else you just get defaults not your custom stuff.

coming from linux mint which had this feature by default I found this to be awesome! and simple to install and use.

This application does exactly what it is supposed to do. My job requires me to do work mostly on the Windows platform, and I have been looking for a Mac equivalent to the "Open Command Prompt Here" function of Windows. This gives me that functionallity. Thanks for the awesome app!

It does one thing and it does it well. I use it several times a day as I jump between different programming projects. I browse to the project in finder, make my changes, open Go2Shell, and then do all my source control commands from the newly opened terminal. Its great!

Itd be better if it looked a bit more like Lion/Mountain Lion, but thats no biggie. Definiteley a 5 star to my needs!

Does not work correctly. Will not open a terminal in the root of the filesystem. Also it will not work at all if you do not completely quit the Terminal app. If for example you just close the terminal window but not quit the program the next time you try to use Go2Shell it will not switch to the correct directory and instead just dumps you in your home directory. So all in all it is broken and does not work properly.

If there was a keyboard shortcut to launch it instead of having it attached to the toolbar. Something like dterm for instance. I usually hide the finder toolbar, Thanks a lot !

I did what the picture told me to, draggin the .app from my app folder, and droping it on to the upper bar next to the search box of an open finder window. That put the shortcut button in the right place. Clicked on it, and by default my Terminal.app opened to that location. Easy, and extremely useful!

I remember that I used to use something like this or another in the past.. Now I use this and I can easily find it in my purchased apps list. Oh and it works wonderful BTW.

This saves me a few annoying minutes of navigating in the shell when I need to do something in a directory thats already open in Finder. So slick.

It certainly works as advertised, which is good. But, why, for the love of $DIETY, cant you make the icon look like it actually belongs in the Finder window?! Its the wrong size, the coloring is off, and it doesnt dim when the window is not the front most.

Would be better if the new terminal could be attached to an existing tmux session.
