  • $30 and abandoned

    Doesn’t even have iCloud sync like another $5 app has.
  • App crashes 100% of the time

    Do not use
  • Good but later slowing down

    I have used it for more than an year, and worked well, but slowly started caching almost 1+ GB of data (not sure why) and eventually going slow. Some basic features are yet to be fixed.
  • Great app!

    One minor complaint, it seems like it doesn’t refresh the nonce when following redirects.
    The full version also seems overpriced.
  • Your app keeps freezing the UI

    It looks like your app is blocking the main thread. Not sure how you can justify charging for an that can’t get that part right.
  • Useful but needs support for uncoding URLs

    I use a URL which includes space and semicolon characters to delimit parameters. These need to be encoded as %20 and %3b respectively. If I enter a string I can type these % sequences manually; this is tedious but it works - the first time. But then I “save” the escaped URL and my escaped characters revert back to space and semicolon. In this condition the URL no longer works (rejected by the server). Would be good if the app had an option to perform the escaping and it should preserve the escaping during a ‘save’

  • Great for a dev on the go or if you just want to keep up on data from an API

    Includes filtering and more.
    Like curl xxx | jsonpp on your phone!

    Love this app.
  • Great tool, needs some work

    I’ve worked with various http clients over time but I’ve loved the experience and streamlined interface as well as the sync across Mac, iPad and iPhone. My one grievance is the amount of bugs on the platform. Especially on Mac. The bugs and crashes make it hard to store global settings and make it my go to http client. Great idea, great design, still needs some refining.

  • Perfect! (Was Update killed features)

    I have to say not only is this app now perfect, but the developer is really on top of his game! As you can see from my previous reviews below, there were some bugs introduced in an update. Not only did the dev respond to my review, but all the issues were rapidly resolved!

    Love this app and dev!

    Old review:
    Thanks for the response! I have found another bug that is the cause of most of my issues. If the name of a request is over a certain length the 3 dot menu to rename, export to curl, etc are no longer visible! The problem is that when creating a new request the default name is “Untitled Request” which is already too long and the 3 dot menu is hidden.

    Please let me know if you can replicate! iPhone X here!

    Upgraded to 3 stars as I know you’re working on it. Will bump up as appropriate when fixes are in!

    The below is my original review for reference. Will remove this and update further as things are fixed:
    Latest update killed some basic functionality and features. No longer can edit the name of a request? Even creating a new request I see no way to edit the name.

    Killed the import and export as curl feature? This was a very nice feature and one of the main reasons I paid for this app.

    Also with the new request/response tabs at the bottom there is no “Done” button on the response tab. You have to navigate back to the request to hit Done. This is a big annoyance.

    Please bring back these basics!

    Developer Response

    Hello, Thanks for the feedback. The request options have just moved from the navigation bar, to the overflow menu right next to the request name. To import curl, you can long press on the add button and choose that option in the menu. And finally regarding the done button, point taken! I'll look into it. For any other feedback, please do reach out to support@httpbot.io. Thanks!
  • It’s like Postman!

    Great app! It’s like Postman for iOS! :) Only minor request we have is to change the “cancel” button to “save” or “done” when editing a request. It’s scary to click on “cancel”, because we think that we’re going to delete all of our hard work.
