Perfect!
I am so happy to have found a app that hosts web files locally, as I just could NOT find a app to do it well, but now I have!
Overall this is a great app, it allows you to make a web server (or file server, your pick) on your LAN! This is extremely useful if you want to share webpages with someone or a household so that anyone can access the webpage. This is amazingly useful in web development.
I only have one suggestion, I found this as a feature in VLC for iOS, and the feature is that instead of JUST having a IP address, it also broadcasts a normal URL to use! (In VLC if your phones name was “Mike’s iPhone”the URL would be “mikes-iphone.local”) I think it would be a nice option for free users. As for paid users, they could set a seperate URL that doesn’t pull from a device’s name. An extra benefit you could do with this is allow the user to choose their own TLD so it looks like a real website!
But otherwise that’s it! Thank you for making this app.
Edit: There is a bug that you can get a 403 even though “Directory Listing” Is toggled on, you can fix it by restarting the app though
Oh! Also please fix the issue with CSS breaking on some webpages, or going straight to the index page in the file browser instead of looking at everything in that directory

It works, but does not support UTF-8
Only works for English characters.
Would be nice if it worked but it doesn’t.
Browser from another device just sees nothing and errors out. I tried a different, free open source app on an Android machine hosted some files and connection is immediate.
Why did I even bother with a freemium iOS app to begin with? lol lesson learned; go Android.

Literally only shows the directory listing on the device you are "hosting a server" from.
No other devices on that network will find this "server" and the program itself won't "preview in browser" gets URL errors.

App Suits Purpose
This server app suits the purpose, and so will consider upgrading for purchase (as to developer really isn’t making much out of this and is deserving of. Thanks)
