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)
Free version doesn’t work and too expensive
This app seems to work fine but in the free version you can’t browser to the files except in a tiny inbuilt browser. Pretty useless and its way too expensive for what it is to go Pro.
Still supported ?
I cannot upgrade to pro nor can I contact the app support. Are u still alive guys ?
Response from developer
Hi there, what issue with upgrading do you have? Feel free to contact me at rafal@dumpling.software
Any Updates?
To The Developer: Do you plan on releasing any updates to this app?
Response from developer
Hello, what updates would you expect?
Works as advertised
Simple app works as advertised
Doesn’t work well with media
My tablet refused to recognize small mp4 files I have in a folder in my phone or iPad. Also no bonjour support so you always must use an ip address… not that it matters if it’s not worth starting up anyway.
EDIT:: yes it’s worth the review since it doesn’t work for it’s stated/intended purpose.

And that’s your reason for ruining my app’s rating?

I’m just getting
The new one
Can you make a copy
I have to my first thing
Parfait
Simple, efficace.
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for positive feedback!
Seems to work
Bought pro for full functionality.
Had a weird bug where I used the app, changed some settings, disabled and re enabled directory listing, and then got 403 Forbidden when accessing the server. Was fixed with re-selecting the hosted folder, not closing the app and re opening.
Would love to know if it is upnp/dnla compliant.
Actually, I would just love to use this to host a portable media streaming server. When I access the videos, they download instead of stream.

Très utile
Très utile et simple d'utilisation
Works as intended, but here is one suggestion
I can host files locally and it works great 👍🏻, could you maybe add so that it can run in the background rather than having the app open if possible
