### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work
*2024-05-04*
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get this to work.
Photo instructions (3): “How to activate Source Edit”
First photo page: The button is in the upper right not the bottom middle.
Third photo page: The More button (from the 2nd page/step) doesn’t have the Source Edit option to activate it
There doesn’t appear to be any option in Safari or Settings to add it to the list of applications (for this 3rd step) so that you can activate it.
### 1/5 — Not working.. screen goes blank
*2024-04-15*
Not working
### 1/5 — No longer works
*2024-03-19*
This came in handy, but it hasn’t worked for me the last 3 days. Dev Website offers no fix or live chat assist.
Unistalling.
### 1/5 — No longer works with latest update
*2024-03-17*
New iOS update has officially killed the use of this app
### 5/5 — Need a search bar
*2023-01-05*
Please add if possible
### 5/5 — Perfect
*2022-10-22*
Perfect, compared to the other options this one stands out as it simply just works.
Most other options try to load the page a second time without JavaScript enabled which essentially results in most websites or apps not loading correctly and therefore the source code being useless, this app however actually works and does exactly what it says on the tin nothing more nothing less.
Apple just released their own full inspect element app for iOS 15 and newer however not everyone is on a device that iOS 15 supports so this is perfect for everyone else including me.
### 1/5 — Doesn’t work
*2021-11-05*
Clicking the Source Edit action does nothing
### 3/5 — No longer works on the latest version of Safari
*2021-08-19*
“Activities” is no longer a sub menu in Safari
### 5/5 — WOW!
*2021-01-08*
Dude! This works! Thanks so much for making it! If you ever made a paid version, I'd pay! Thanks again.
### 5/5 — I like it
*2020-05-21*
There are a couple things I would like if you made a setting so the page source would open a new tab and color code stuff like normal but that’s it I like it
