### 1/5 — Mad

*2021-11-04, version 7.4*

Every single time I try to activate it it only shows the 3 buttons and that’s it

### 1/5 — Broken?

*2021-04-04, version 7.4*

I wanted so much for this to work as it’s deplorable Apple requires you to buy a Mac just to debug a web page. Sharing the page with MIHTool brings up three small icons but the rendering area for the inspector is blank and does not get drawn.  There is mention of “ MIHTool Remote control(With HTTP Server). “ in case of trouble but it is not clear what/where this is or how to activate it.

### 1/5 — Dosnt work at all

*2021-03-27, version 7.4*

This app dosnt work it's just a web browser you can't edit or inspect on websites 😡

### 5/5 — If it helps me hack games and give me infinite currencies, It’s good by me

*2020-10-25, version 7.4*

This is the app that I use to hack games like, cookie clicker Adventure Idle Clicker hero’s? Pretty much every browser idle game also useful for coding games made by you! The Creator totally recommend ignore the one starts they don’t know about how much this app has to offer!

### 4/5 — Decent

*2020-09-29, version 7.4*

Not perfect, but best Ive found thus far. Its also free without ads popping everywhere. Definitely not as good as working on a computer. That said, thank you for creating and looking forward to many more updates. Definitely useful.

### 2/5 — No cookies , no authentication available

*2020-08-23, version 7.4*

You can’t authenticate for webpages and well you can’t import cookies for that matter

### 4/5 — Very good but laggy ...

*2020-04-06, version 7.4*

As the title says ... great effort btw, very useful in my ipad pro !

### 1/5 — Very buggy

*2020-03-25, version 7.4*

Most of the time it ends up with a white screen instead of the webpage it was just loading overall not good

### 5/5 — Easy ‘view source’ for iOS

*2019-12-23, version 7.4*

It is disturbingly hard to view a web page source on iOS, but this app is incredibly easy to use and does exactly what I need it to do.

I’m very pleased with it. It works exactly as described, and no, it’s not a newbie tool, but the dev is very clear up front that it isn’t so that shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.

### 5/5 — Although UI and functionality needs some improvement but it definitely works!

*2019-11-02, version 7.4*

DevTools in browser is a must for any programmer!
