Even restarting the app doesn’t work. If the site doesn’t reflect my changes then that kind of defeats the entire point… ### 4/5 — works perfectly, also without wifi *2024-05-08* My combination: MAMP PRO 6.4 on macOS 12.7, iOS 17.4 ### 4/5 — ui *2024-04-18* Is it possible to update the user interface of the app? ### 4/5 — Facebook *2023-11-27, version 1.1* feedback ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-07-20, version 1.1* Not working ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-05-27* App has stopped working. ### 1/5 — Won’t find hosts *2022-05-08* Even with the viewer option enabled and being on the same network ### 1/5 — Never works *2022-05-07* Just can’t understand how the MAMP PRO Mac OS app works so well and the iOS viewer has never worked in all the years I have created and uploaded multiple websites. A total waste of time and effort! ### 3/5 — Funktioniert reibungslos *2022-01-17* Die blaue Hintergrundfarbe würde ich gerne ausschalten können, der Webview sollte sich so (weit wie möglich) verhalten wie Safari - ist ja zum Testen ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2021-03-22* Zeigt nur „Keine Mamp Host“ obwohl in DropBox host gespeichert sind. Keine Dokumentation, sehr schlecht. ### 1/5 — Useless! *2021-02-18, version 1.1* Do not load local website-always get an error! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Could not make it work *2026-03-10* No mamp pro hosts found. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all *2025-11-06* 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 ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2025-10-06* Die Verbindung scheint okay zu sein. Aber es lädt keine Seite. Es endet mit Fehler Zeitüberschreitung. ### 1/5 — No support *2025-02-17, version 2.0* I have been working with MAMP Pro for many years. Now, for the first time, I have an issue with the Viewer app, and they haven’t been able to respond to a support ticket after a month. Got problems? Too bad for you! So I decided to set up a DNS server on a Raspberry Pi. It took me less time to buy it and learn how to set up a DNS server than to get a response from support. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-01-05, version 2.0* Application doesn’t work, at least with MAMP pro 6. Computer on macOS and iOS device connected to the same Wi-Fi. On computer everything is working: sites, servers, right settings on host, etc. But application just doesn’t show any sites ### 1/5 — War mal gut... *2024-10-26* aktuell funktioniert nichts mehr... ### 1/5 — Totalement inutile *2024-10-04* Lorsque je coche « via MAMP Viewer », cela ajoute un « .local » à l’URL, le site apparaît sur l’iPhone mais il me renvoie un message d’erreur au lieu de l’afficher. Inutile donc. Je le mets à la corbeille. ### 1/5 — Seiten laden nicht *2024-08-22* Die Seiten erscheinen zwar in der Auswahl. Ruft man irgendeine Seite aber auf, dreht sich der Indicator lange und dann kommt immer ein: The request timed out. (-1001) Auf dem Mac sind alle Seiten ganz normal verfügbar. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-08-21* All resolution options are grayed out in my MAMP Pro General tab, so I can’t enable this. No explanation, no documentation for this issue. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-08-07, version 1.1* It just doesn’t display anything but a grey background and spinning wheel ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great but … *2026-08-10* Great tool but would be great to have access to mailhog if activated. ### 5/5 — Thug cuddly *2025-10-11, version 2.0* DcyThe resistance cystic ### 5/5 — INTL. MKTG & COMMUNICATION CONSULTANT *2024-12-01* IDEAL POUR DVLPMT APPS & WEBSITES EN INTERNE. FACILE A METTRE EN ROUTE. BRAVO ### 5/5 — The best *2024-07-29, version 2.0* …. ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2024-04-02* Works without any problems. ### 5/5 — Розібрався *2023-09-06, version 1.1* Все робе. Дякую 🙏 ### 5/5 — Handy *2022-04-03, version 1.1* Useful if got a load of development addresses you can’t remember! ### 5/5 — TOGGV L. PBOBOGFUPUXKZJlAhdly”&?8 Ok I *2021-03-28, version 1.1* Ki and the i ### 5/5 — 作業が捗る！ *2021-02-15, version 1.1* MAMP PROで作成したローカルホストの動作確認がスムーズで、重宝しています。 私がキャッシュの設定をしていないせいなのかも知れませんが、CSSやJavaScriptの修正なども瞬時に反映されていて、作業が捗ります。 これなしの環境には戻れないです！ ちなみに私もiPhone7ですが、URLもコピペで入力しています。 改善されたのかも知れませんね。 ### 5/5 — Excellent App from MAMP *2021-01-10, version 1.1* I love this app as it helps my website app development by increasing productivity and taking the hassle of testing mobile versions of my work. Good work. Thank you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
