This will allow different authentication and URI’s per environment. As it stands, I have to manually copy out all API calls for each environment. ### 2/5 — Mandatory $6 required for functional app *2025-03-07, version 2.2.3* Get AUD$6 ready since nothing will work without subscribing! ### 4/5 — Great tool *2025-02-11, version 2.2.3* Great tool that lets me on the go send requests, I would love to be able to export "projects" and share them with other users using postman or insomnia, as of now I can only import, not export. ### 3/5 — Useful, but clunky *2024-11-05, version 2.2.3* Can’t really explain it, but the workflow feels clunky. Importing, adding variables then sending a request just doesn’t flow. The UI also cuts off characters so you can’t really find the section you’re looking for. At 4.99 it works, but I’m def looking for another ### 4/5 — Very useful, but improvements possible *2024-05-11* The duplication of requests, missed by Gerrit 3 years ago, now is implemented for duplication inside a project. :-) The tool is well designed and in general easy to use. It is synchronizing with other iOS devices (at least when app is installed). Copy and paste to other project is not possible - this makes it hard to split a large grown project because the requests must be recreated. My wishes: * Project export into file (there exists already import) - this would allow project splitting too. * Non edit mode to avoid opening requests before they can be executed. * Some syntax check assistance would be nice: JSON syntax error is reported but not reason and position. * Content type check also would be nice: if I use a JSON body, content type must be application/json; charset=utf-8 or similar. This makes it easier to understand error 500 internal server error. ### 4/5 — Got it for the first *2024-01-21* I have to get my new ### 3/5 — Missing fundamental functionality *2023-11-10, version 2.2.3* Cannot set variables to non-string values. ### 2/5 — Search box *2023-07-29* can you please add search box so we can search a particular request. It is very hard to find a request from a long request list. ### 4/5 — I don’t know how much it would *2023-06-23* I’m not sure if you know what ### 4/5 — Good luck to the good thing *2023-06-22* I have to go back and forth ### 4/5 — We will be going back home tomorrow *2023-06-22* I’m not sure what I’m doing ### 4/5 — How much do they weigh *2023-06-13* I’m so happy you found ### 4/5 — Do you want to call *2023-06-13* From you to the phone ### 3/5 — Great app, slightly too opinionated *2023-03-17, version 2.2.3* This is superb, great design and features. Importing from Postman was particularly appreciated. A couple of things I’d suggest: * icon choice for send request - should be a triangle or arrow since the circle looks like retry * allow GET with a body - I know you’ve designed your API poorly if you’re relying on a body with GET, but I’m much more comfortable using ElasticSearch / OpenSearch queries via GET so I’m less likely to create records accidentally. It’d be handy if Rest warns but sends the body anyway, or add a setting to override this check in a given collection. ### 4/5 — its a pity that not support form multipart file *2022-11-22, version 2.2.3* its a pity that not support form multipart file ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-11-02* Simple and lovely. The usage is intuitive and easy. It could be very handy to create folders inside projects. But that comes as suggestion 🤗 Nice job! ### 5/5 — Very Good *2022-10-21, version 2.2.3* If any feature to export collection, I am very glad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dude where’s my app *2025-06-30* This is what I would call a modern day pick pocket so you have been warned ### 1/5 — Premium ? *2025-04-18, version 2.2.3* This app is all getting you buying it. Can not save Auth without pay? Wt f ? ### 1/5 — Worst experience *2022-10-23, version 2.2.3* I don’t like this app, very hard to use ### 1/5 — can not send file *2022-01-19* can not send file ### 1/5 — Premium is not premium *2021-09-09, version 2.1.4* Missing prerequest scripts and option of importing environments from postman. Its unuseful for me. I paid 5€ for nothing… ### 1/5 — No support contact or postman sync *2021-07-24, version 2.1.4* Brought the full version but realised its limitations on the basics - so not really useful. There is no support contact (just the Delores twitter page) and no postman sync (just a file upload) ### 1/5 — Error *2021-05-29, version 2.1.4* hi I'm having trouble submitting a Form-url-encoded via #shortcuts. does not send the data ### 1/5 — Нет возможности отправить файл *2021-02-18* В Multiparty/from-data нет возможности отправлять файлы ### 1/5 — Where is Json? *2020-11-26* I noticed that You say “multiple response body view(json, text,...)”,so, where is json?I used to think it was just for the paid users, so I paid, and then NOTHING HAPPENED. May I ask what is the difference between ordinary users and paid users? pleasant! **Developer response:** You should be able to switch between the views on the top left in the response view. JSON doesn't require the pro version but is only shown if the response is valid JSON. Please reach out with more info in case this issue persists. ### 1/5 — Nothing working *2020-11-04* Send icon not working after framing the request **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We recently released an update with better error reporting in case the URL is malformed. Please let us know if that helped. In general this might happen if the URL is missing a host. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Mobile API Client *2026-01-21* Great App that enables API requests on the go. Keep Up 🚀 ### 5/5 — Nice app! *2025-03-10, version 2.2.3* A little tough to use a small text field to enter the URLs, but a great app, otherwise. Would love for widgets to be enabled, allowing me to hit endpoints to get values. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2024-12-26, version 2.2.3* Postman web wouldn’t work with local services, and I was looking for a simple iPad App equivalent. I found the Rest HTTP API Client, and it has done exactly what I wanted. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-09-30, version 2.2.3* Has all the features you’d expect and it’s very easy to use.
