### 5/5 — Nice helpful tool

*2020-09-14, version 1.14*

This is a nice useful tool to get and test connection details to Webservers.

The only thing I miss is some more explanation and maybe useful examples in a help page with some description.

### 5/5 — Gefällt mir!

*2020-07-04, version 1.13*

Hier gibt es nichts zu beklagen. Läuft wunderbar.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I need

*2020-04-03*

Exactly what I need when I’m not at my desk. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Danke Perfekt!

*2020-02-25, version 1.13*

Danke.

### 5/5 — Useful tool

*2020-02-20, version 1.13*

This is an excellent way to quickly curl a url on an iOS device. Invaluable when needing a quick informative test when away from your development machine. Thanks v much to the dev, I was going to make my own tool for this but this has saved me a load of time and effort!

### 5/5 — Mobile Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

*2019-04-07, version 1.12*

I’ve got other utilities for troubleshooting network connectivity issues, but this completes the ability to fully diagnose and troubleshoot any web issues. Has the full power of the curl command line utility in a GUI for easy mobile use.

### 4/5 — Excellent - some further suggestions

*2017-06-26, version 1.9*

I use this with the Snarl notifications app and it works a treat.  Some ideas to consider:

- Create favourites with bundled headers, body and method all set ready to go
- Widget that can run selected favourites
- watchOS app that runs favourites
- Siri integration to run favourites 

That way, I would create a Snarl Oxide API request and launch it from my phone or watch! 👍🏼👍🏼

### 5/5 — Great App - Add a JSON Viewer

*2017-02-01*

This app is a great utility to have. It would be awesome to cURL a JSON hyperlink and present the output in a human-readable format.

### 5/5 — Very useful!

*2016-11-14, version 1.8*

Super helpful, little app.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective!

*2016-05-25*

Great tool for inspecting headers, cookies and also measuring network!

### 5/5 — Essential Part of an IT Pro's Toolkit

*2016-03-07*

I'm a Skype for Business admin, and this little tool is fantastic for having a look at what's going on after a cert change or if colleagues are reporting connectivity issues with other organizations.  It would be a good value at $2 or $3, but free - what are you waiting for?!

The only ways it could be better is if it would show more parts of the certificate and more of the response, both things I would gladly pay extra for.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2015-11-22, version 1.4*

Very useful. Thanks a lot!

### 4/5 — Needs Search

*2015-10-15*

Would be great to include a simple text search, and regex support would be even better!

### 1/5 — Updated 1 year ago - abandoned?

*2018-12-13*

May have security issues if not updated. Contains OpenSSL etc.

### 1/5 — Don't download

*2016-11-26, version 1.8*

Just crashes on iOS 9

### 1/5 — Works only with one req

*2016-02-26, version 1.4*

Lots of issues with custom certs

### 1/5 — UI hangs on invalid URLs

*2014-12-10, version 1.3*

This is super annoying

### 3/5 — iPhone-only UI; misdescribed as iPad-friendly. Bad news

*2016-07-06, version 1.5*

I can't relate the UI for put to the parameters to UNIX curl. Probably my own stupidity.

### 3/5 — Very handy tool

*2013-06-20, version 1.1*

Definitely something useful, however it is lacking a few features:
My wanted add on would be adding header information.

### 3/5 — This app is good but

*2013-04-21*

It's missing put delete and some other features like displaying the HTML as a web view.

### 4/5 — Useful but could use some enhancements

*2026-08-15*

This app is great for troubleshooting http issues from your phone. It even follows redirects! It could implement more options found in the curl cli, but it’s a solid 4/5 app!

### 4/5 — Missing search and font setting

*2024-12-17, version 1.17*

Otherwise it’s great.

### 4/5 — Way better than the other ones.

*2024-09-04*

This is way better than the other ones. The only issue is it chokes on any download that is greater than 200k which is pretty common nowadays.

### 5/5 — Perfekt!

*2025-12-15, version 1.17*

Just works. No ads. Gamchanger!

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-09-17, version 1.17*

Einfach perfekt um schnell Informationen von Extern über das Ausliefern der Zertifikate zu haben. Danke.

### 5/5 — Weltklasse!

*2025-02-19, version 1.17*

Das ist ein Tool welches ich so auch auf dem Desktop haben möchte! PERFEKT! DANKE!

### 5/5 — iPhoneでcurlとか便利すぎ！

*2024-06-11, version 1.17*

細かいオプションもあるし、ちゃんと動きます！

### 5/5 — Clean and Productive.

*2024-02-07, version 1.17*

Second all of the points from @Banjor_ 8/13 review.

Very usefull and clean interface.

Thanks for making this Jason Cox!

### 5/5 — Thorough and Complete HTTP transaction logs

*2023-08-14, version 1.17*

What I hate about most HTTP transaction parsers is that they try to sweep under the rug a lot of what is going on behind the scenes. Jasosn's iCurl is great because it logs everything, so even though it can be a bit slow when parsing a whole lot of data (look at what a simple HTTP GET against Google.com gets you for various user agents for instance) you get to see all of that. This is enormously helpful when trying to do low-level network troubleshooting at the layer just above packet capture. When combining the log from iCurl with a PCAP packet capture, it helps to show exactly what is being loaded across the network which is a big part of the answer "why is it taking so long?" when diagnosing a slow connection. This is especially important for API and troubleshooting scenarios, I consider this tool a hidden gem that I utilize when investigating network shenanigans. I use this on my MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon in addition to my iPhone and iPads, I love that it works on all platforms. A great app, so much value and I'm so glad that Jason Cox decided to make it available. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Works well!

*2022-08-21, version 1.17*

Works as intended

### 5/5 — thanks…

*2021-05-31, version 1.16*

... for porting curl to ios devices. I use it for API calls to Volumio OS on Raspberry. Therefor it would it helpful to have an option to define Favorites which have an automatic GO. Currently I need to select from history AND press GO. One click too much for me.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2021-03-21*

Thanks for your continued support.

### 5/5 — Excellent application

*2020-10-21*

This is exactly what you’d want an iPhone curl app to be. GREAT job. thanks

Maybe consider a dark mode or the ability to change themes?
