Pros

Powerful Linux terminal capabilities
Lets you access the inner Linux-like kernel of your device
Great documentation and user community

Cons

Steep learning curve if you are new to Linux terminals
Doesn’t have as many commands as a real Linux terminal

Android Terminal Emulator gives you a Linux-like terminal on your Android device. The Linux terminal is a powerful Linux tool that lets you access and manipulate files, as well as run commands, on a Linux computer. The Android Terminal Emulator lets you do similar things on your Android device.

In addition to giving you all the capabilities of a Linux terminal, the app allows multiple windows to be open and has launcher shortcuts. The app is also completely free and contains no ads. It uses UTF-8 text encoding so many languages are supported. Some commands that can be run from the terminal come built into your Android device. Additionally, others can be added by installing certain apps.

To use it, you need to understand how to use a Linux terminal. If you are already familiar with Linux, it should be quite useful right away. If you are new to Linux terminals but want the power that they offer, there is a community on Google Plus and a documentation wiki to get you started. Also, there are lots of free resources for learning the Linux terminal online that are not specific to Android Terminal Emulator.
