Not working

This new version does not seem to be working. It crashes as soon as the app opens

New UX makes everything harder

I normally don’t come to write reviews but the new UX makes everything more complex.

It used to be a single press to clear the log or send the log to a device, now it’s 3

The network call list used to be very easy to read and clear to see which API calls failed. Now each request URL is on 2 or 3 lines and color coded, but no idea what the color coding logic is.

Please go back to simplifying the UX.

Doesn’t work

Not sure why, but this doesn’t work with our app. You’d think this would be a simple thing to proxy, but somehow they’ve mucked this up. I get a whole lot of failed requests when I try to proxy. I’m disappointed that I spent money on this.

Not working with iOS 26

Great when it works but it no longer works on the latest iOS 26
