But a Reno/Placerville CA Gold iOS edition designer and his PI counterparts all but ruined most apps by porting them to HTML5 and making most features just a UI and some graphics with no actual functionality. It’s a work around for a group who was banned from tech and has to report who they are to their neighbors. **Developer response:** Hello? It's not related to this app or this company. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2024-08-23* The server is unable to load a simple html page with some javascript. The problem is that it unable to make ajax requests if the app is running in the background, so you cannot use chrome or safari to load content or interact with the html page. In other words, it's useless. **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the app. Because of the restriction of iOS and iPadOS, it cannot run in the background. It's useful when other devices can connect to it, or if you use split screen in iPadOS. If you have any more questions or suggestions, please reach out to us at support@bitsbaker.com. Thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-11-16* Upon opening, freezes until it crashes. Do not buy **Developer response:** Hello, could you send your problem to support@bitsbaker.com ? I'll support you. ### 1/5 — 不能运行php程序 *2023-08-22* 不能运行php程序，感觉没什么用 **Developer response:** Sorry, PHP is not supported in this app. ### 2/5 — App GUI gets lost / App GUI geht verloren *2026-01-01* iPad OS 26.2 > When you tap on the squares with the upward arrow in the app after starting the WebServer service, the GUI disappears and nothing happens. I would expect the browser to open and a folder listing to be displayed. iPad OS 26.2 > Wenn man in der App, nach dem Start des WebServer Dienstes, auf die Quadrate mit dem Pfeil nach oben tippt, dann verschwindet die GUI und nichts passiert. Erwarten würde ich, dass der Browser sich öffnet ein Ordner Listing angezeigt wird. ### 3/5 — The 500 a simple hate group *2026-01-19* Hello, I love your app when it is working. I have an iPhone that was supporting it until this group came to my town and ran full bandwidth connections to each home without permission. Since then I can’t get your app to work because they port everything to something like Java or html5 ### 3/5 — Does not work in background *2025-06-14* Other http servers offer this option **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We agree. However, Apple restricts apps from running in the background, except for music players and certain other apps. Furthermore, HTTP Servers are not included in the list of exceptions. ### 3/5 — Fails to upload larger files *2023-10-30* Small files works great! But fails when trying to upload a 82MB mp4 video saying File too large. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your report. The bug was fixed on the 1.8 version. Please update the app and retry it. Please let me know via support@bitsbaker.com if you have any questions. In addition, after trying it with the 1.8 version, please consider updating this rating. :) ### 5/5 — Really nice App still works jul 2026 just fine *2026-07-18* Review score should be higher a lot of work obviously went into this. ### 5/5 — Use for Webapps *2026-07-08* Excellent web server/browser combination.

Currently can download only one file at a time. Would love to be able to download a folder from my iPhone to my android tablet. I transfer many photos many times a day for my work. Right now I have to create a zip archive of my photos to be able to transfer them all at once. However, the android tablet is slow to unpack a large zip file. Please add this feature if possible. I would happily purchase the app again for that feature. **Developer response:** Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear you find our app great.

If you’re using this, be sure to be on the same Wi-Fi network as your phone. The app is meant for basic file transfer, it’s not a full featured web server. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Right. It works on same Wi-Fi network. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2023-12-12* Simple web server for easily transferring files.
