### 5/5 — Very well done

*2017-10-20, version 1.2.1*

An extension is the perfect way to present certificate info, and this one does it well. Lots of detail available right from the share menu. A floating header to select from the entire certificate chain is an extra nice touch. 

My only tiny nit is that the design of the details table could be improved - some of the rows are not quite the standard height, and the SHA and MD5 fingerprints don’t wrap their contents like other hex rows do. This pales next to how useful the utility is, though. I’d pay for it if I could.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2017-08-26, version 1.1.0*

Thanks!

### 5/5 — Nice Safari extension to see cert

*2017-08-11, version 1.1.0*

Adds a Safari extension to view ssl cert info from inside Safari. Very useful. Seems to work in Chrome also but didn't try that.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2017-06-11, version 1.1.0*

I was just about to write this, but then hit upon the magic App Store search terms to find it. And for free!? So well integrated you wonder why Apple hasn't added this yet. Every web server or site admin should download this, especially if you rely on an iOS device when on call.

### 5/5 — Great utility

*2017-05-02, version 1.1.0*

I've been looking for a way to inspect certificates in safari for a while. I was considering writing an extension myself, but found this tool in my research.

Works incredibly well. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a way to verify certificates in safari. The SSL page integration is super cool. 😎

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2017-03-26, version 1.0.9*

Works well. I am using it within iOS 10 and Safari.  The SSLLabs scan is a nice feature also.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2017-03-02, version 1.0.9*

Just what I needed in an elegant extension.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2017-01-25, version 1.0.8*

Light weight, unobtrusive, and fits in perfectly with typical workflow as a safari extension. Good presentation of data once launched. Exactly what I was looking for!  Thanks.

### 5/5 — Really well implemented

*2016-11-06, version 1.0.6*

Great little app. Nicely done. Love the SSL labs and safari integration. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Needed Tool.  Simple and it works.

*2016-06-09, version 1.0.2*

Good app.  Fulfills a useful function.

### 1/5 — UPDATE OR PULL! 😤

*2023-05-05, version 1.2.2*

This app *used* to be handy- 4 years ago. Does NOT work with iOS 16. Come on devs, put this thing down.

### 1/5 — MITM

*2023-01-31, version 1.2.2*

The app worked great for a while now the MITM icon is greyed out even though the switch is green indicating it is active. I emailed the developer and after a few days no reply seems they are not interested in responding to paid subscribers.

### 1/5 — Certificate id

*2017-10-17, version 1.2.1*

Worthless

### 2/5 — Incomplete toturial

*2022-05-11, version 1.2.2*

The toturial is incomplete it doesn’t tell you how to edit

### 3/5 — Sort of good

*2020-05-16, version 1.2.2*

It’s sort of good but it wasn’t what I needed I’m sure it would make good use for other people but this wasn’t what I needed what I needed was to look at the code (console) but it only gives me info about google and not the “console” so I hope people would like this and I hope add the faeture to select items and look at the “console”

### 4/5 — not sure

*2019-12-04, version 1.2.2*

don't know what i was looking for. or if it shows good or bad how do you know what to look for

### 4/5 — Pretty Cool. Excellent Execution by developer

*2018-04-07, version 1.2.2*

Excellent Execution by developer

### 4/5 — Useful app

*2016-11-22, version 1.0.6*

I received a scam SMS with a URL that mimics a bank page to trick people entering their details. While Safari on iMac blocked the page in few hours there was no warning in mobile Safari and I realised there is no way to see certificate's details on iOS. This app adds let's you to see this information 

It does not verify if the site is fraudulent, this is something you need to know yourself

### 4/5 — Does what is says on the tin

*2016-09-20, version 1.0.6*

Provides a feature missing from Safari that is much needed by those of us that have anything to do with TLS connections.

Don't know how to submit feature requests though as the apps website is just an add for the app...

### 4/5 — Very useful app with excellent support

*2016-08-02, version 1.0.4*

I wanted a way to inspect SSL certificates from my iOS devices as neither Chrome nor Safari have this ability. This app allows you to view the entire certificate chain right from the browser you are already using.

The support is fantastic too; I made a suggestion and the developer responded and implemented it immediately!

### 5/5 — Works Great!!

*2018-05-04, version 1.2.2*

Does what I need and does it well.  You pull up the secure certificate for a site, check all the relevant info just like you would in your desktop browser’s debug mode.  

Wish I would have found this sooner, great app/extension!

### 5/5 — Simple, seamless certificate viewer

*2018-04-13, version 1.2.2*
