## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless program

*2012-02-05*

Sure you can see the source of a specific page you enter in the address bar, but you cannot copy any of the html, you cannot send it to an editor like Textastic.

Sure you can see links and images, but you cannot copy the source url's.

You cant output anything from this program which makes it completely useless.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2011-04-10*

I bought this to help design an iPad site but it just crashes. What a f*cking waste of $2

### 3/5 — Owner

*2010-09-23*

The author needs to add a delete function to the address bar so when you want to see a new page, you won't have to delete the old address one character at a time.

Other than that, this is a great app and I would have rated it higher

### 4/5 — Nice job

*2013-02-08*

Works as advertised. No problems.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2010-12-11*

It does what it say but would be nice if:
- if it could show also meta links like refresh redirects
- side scroll bar
- dont understand why it has 2 fingers horizontal screen navigation 
- there is place ontop for history why not put it in there instead if a side bar
- goto botton button would be nice
- view pictures at the button is not a good place again there is a lot of wasted place ontop where the URL input field is.

Great app keep the good job

### 4/5 — Really good, but could be better

*2010-06-06*

The only thing that's missing from this app is the option to pretty-print the source. I would like to be able to turn on text wrapping, so I don't have to scroll horizontally. Better still, I'd like the app to re-indent everything so that matching brackets, tags, etc. line up. If it could do that, it would be awesome.

As it is, it is merely excellent! :)

### 5/5 — Nice source viewer

*2010-04-06*

This app makes the iPad worth more to me. As the managing director of a development group this let's me review code from the luxury of the iPad. Code is colored well and the ability to follow page links and view assets is a nice feature. Copy paste and email is great too. 

More apps should be like this. Simple. Too the point. Efficient.
