I'm in the same boat.
The ios app Serverauditor is the only one I've found (of many tested) that sends Alt as Meta.
You'll want to use the Homebrew color scheme otherwise the cursor is invisible. (Would be too easy if it didn't require any troubleshooting, right?)
Unfortunately C-c comes across as "pause" and I don't know how to resolve this and it's a nuisance so I've gone gui. If anyone knows the solution, please do tell.
My current preferred solution is using a Kangaroo PC and Splashtop to control it with the iPad.
Kangaroo is a display-less pocket PC running Win10. You can purchase them from newegg or the MS store.
Splashtop is the lowest latency wireless solution I've found and (importantly) the only one that supports the smart keyboard. Previously I would use OSLinx or DuetDisplay for wired latency but with a separate Bluetooth keyboard for the PC.
The Kangaroo PC is very weak but it works well enough for emacs.
Cheers.

I know there's org-mobile, but I don't want to have to think about sync'ing, or try to remember where the latest versions of my docs are as I move from one computer to another.

Has anyone figured out how to get the option key to work that way in vSSH? Or is there a better ssh app?
