### 2/5 — IOS 26

*2025-12-27, version 2.8.0*

Все круто, но где обновление для IOS 26?

### 4/5 — Not Maintained/Updated... But Works Still

*2025-11-09*

I've downloaded and toyed with every traffic sniffing app ever lucky enough to be released in the App Store the past 7 years. Some were terrible, some extraordinary. All are gone now- removed. Except for a few, and here is one of them. 

It does all the things you'd want it to do, including DNS hijacking. It's great. I do have some minor complaints, like its lack of displaying the user agent making calls. I have to go by guessing and it's a mess. I wish it would just say what's doing it so I know if it's Safari, CFNetworking, or some silly app. The filter also is lacking. But pretty much every feature is not unlike the others- it's just a bit messier.

### 1/5 — For me didn’t work

*2024-01-06, version 2.8.0*

In my opinion it’s a waste of money. I’ve tried to get some help but asked me to install another app which didn’t help me with anything. Disappointed. I’ve deleted. :)

Don’t be suckered into paying for it. The app is clearly abandoned and stopped working properly a long time ago.

### 1/5 — Non funziona, pro inutile

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2024-11-29, version 2.8.0*

Man muss 3,99 € zahlen, bevor man irgendetwas benutzen kann. Aus gutem Grund: Die App funktioniert nicht. Einzig der Aufruf der Startseite einer Suchmaschine funktionierte. Keine einzige andere Internetseite. Mit mehreren Brwosern ausprobiert. Und Apps funktionieren damit auch nicht. Finger weg!

### 1/5 — HTTPS KO

*2024-06-03*
