Could not make it work

No mamp pro hosts found.

Doesn't work at all

What's the point in developing this app if it doesn't work!

The only thing I see when I try to open a host is "Error loading page Mamp viewer is not able to load the requested page"

Really waste of time even for writing this review

Caching ruins it

It works except the CSS files are aggressively cached and there’s no way to turn off the caching or empty it. Even restarting the app doesn’t work. If the site doesn’t reflect my changes then that kind of defeats the entire point…
