  • Rank and file with editors

    Excellent viewer of code, I was so excited to get the app to be disappointed that it was strictly a viewer and not able to paste or copy code for simple editing. I’m not asking for a refund, but please add an editing feature and you would have an amazing tool I would pay double for.

    We thank you for your feedback and suggestion. We have plans to add this functionality and we think we will add it in the next new release :-)
  • So close…

    My suggested 3 things to get your star rating up…

    1. Almost impossible to get this app to clear its cache. I edit a stylesheet, but this app doesn’t reflect the changes. Please fix.

    2. Show line numbers when inspecting elements in style sheets please. Saves a lot of searching.

    3. Web view to inspect styles would be super cool.

    Thanks for your feedback! We are happy to inform you: 1. Thank you for finding the bug, we will double-check this feature and release fixes in the next update. 2. Thank you for the suggestion, we will finalize the code line switch for the selected style element in the next update. 3. At the moment we have a preview of the web page, for this you need to click on the "Play" button.
  • This is by far the best in its class

    This app has every feature I’ve been looking for. The developer has clearly listened to and responded to the reviews here, and the result is really something very useful. Thanks a lot!

    We sincerely thank you for your Royal feedback on our work! Your feedback warms the soul and motivates us to continue what we do. Thank you for using the app, we really appreciate it! :-)
  • Gonna refund it😐

    As web developer I never setup ssl when I start developing a project on my localhost and this app strictly need ssl and I think it’s a problem ssl is good and necessary but not for developing mode in localhost.
    And the second problem is this app doesn’t able to show UI

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your feedback! And we are glad to inform you that you can run tests on localhost without SSL, for this you need to enter the address bar http://localhost. And in order to see the user interface of a web page, you need to select an HTML file in the navigation bar and click on the "Play" button (denoted by a triangle icon).
  • Works great, but only on standard ports

    It's cool what it can help you debug, however, I bought the app to debug an application that runs on port 8443 but is otherwise standard https. The app only seems to support http sites on port 80 and https sites on port 443. The port is dropped from the request when trying to debug something like https[colon]//mysite[dot]com:8443/manage, which doesn't help mee do what I originally bought the app for.

  • Does not work

    I purchased in order to view CSS, per description. HTML shows up fine. I get message that .css files are an unsupported file type and won’t download. No way to contact developer to ask for a refund. Not happy.

    Greetings, dear user of the application. We are aware of this issue. And we are working hard on the new version of the application and we plan to release the largest update in the next couple of weeks, which will fix this bug too. We will be very grateful if you wait a bit for its release and appreciate the new benefits of new features and stable application performance.
  • Much better than others, needs a bit more.

    I’ve been looking for HTML inspectors for iOS for a long time. Then along comes View Source Premier. It is very clear that a great deal of thought and attention went into this app. Being able to switch the user agent on Mobile?!?—THIS IS BRILLIANT! I love the DOM view and also being able to toggle the various panels. Another amazing feature, I was not expecting the level of font/control options.

    I can only think just a few things that keeps this from 5-stars. Since Safari does not provide the inspector on mobile—it’s 2020, why?!? 😭—It would be great to be able to pass a URL to View Source Premier from Safari’s share sheet. That saves the user from having to copy and paste. The other thing I’d like to see is a synched history between the universal apps, so that you can see the pages you were working on and where you left off. Multiple-tabs would be a nice to have. Once there is support for multiple-tags or the sharesheet, I’d also like to be able to see long-pressing/right-clicking on an element or structure to be able to open it in a new browser tab or send it to Safari.

    The fact that this is a universal app across iPhone/iPad/Mac is awesome. Thank you for your hard work—this is worth much more than what I paid for it—you could have easily have charged as much for all three platforms. I appreciate the great price!

Other recommendations we will develop in the near future.
  • Great app, only lacking a few small details

    Solid work. This is an app with solid functionality and exceeds the features of any near competitors. Nice design, works a lot like the sources inspector in Chrome dev tools. Overall, worth the extra cost over alternatives.

    A few notes:
    - dark mode makes this app impossible to use, since the text doesn’t change colors. You’ll need to turn it off if you’re a dark mode user, then everything’s golden.
    - the expand arrows don’t work consistently as UI elements; tapping them in the file explorer expands below, but in the actual source code, you have to press plus/minus icons. Weird, but functional once you figure it out.
    - this isn’t rendering the source like you’d be used to in a browser’s dev tools, a la live dom inspection, it’s truly raw html source. In some cases this is great, but React web apps, for example, don’t show much. Would be great to be able to toggle this stuff.
