普通に使えます。スマホだとこれ一択ですね。

ウィンドウを複数開けたり検索機能がついたりすれば星5です。

使えました

タグが色分けされるのと、日本語の文字化けがないので、小さい画面でもソースが見やすいです。

good source viewer

Fast and good syntax highlighting but the controls are clunky.

Simple mais efficace

Simple mais efficace devrai être intégrer a safari

Shows code as advertised, but not well

Horrible interface. Two fingers to scroll? No pinch to zoom? No find? And an ad to the iPad version at the bottom of the app which you cannot remove. I paid for this app, I don't want to see ads. Also it would be nice to change user agent for websites that auto redirect to a mobile site. I want to see the source for the website I said to go to, not the website it redirects to. And this are the problems I have found within the first minute of buying the app. I bought it to look at the source of one website while away from the office. But guess what, it auto forwarded to the mobile site so it was useless for the one and only reason I bought it.

No Support and No copying code

To correct the other review, yes you can scroll horizontally - you just use two fingers instead of one.
Only viewing the code would be what one would expect of a free app, but this paid app doesn't allow copying any of the code for pasting elsewhere. This was unexpected and a disappointment as this was exactly the feature I was looking for.

On balance, nowhere in any of the documentation for any of the "view html source" type apps is the ability to copy some of the code for pasting elsewhere stated as a feature. I'm not going to buy one at a time and find out none of them do this.

Clicking on the Source Viewer support link doesn't link to a support page, but a web page with 78 web app icons. When the App Store Apps tab on that page is selected, you just get a web page with 75 apps that link back to iTunes.

Love The App

I have had this for a long time now and love it. It would be even better if there was a way to search for specific code in the source. Like lets say I want to find '<input type="text" name="thisText" />' but overall it is very nice. Great App.

"Keep it simple stupid"

Don't reinvent the simple things.

Reverse engineer any web page.

I love this app. As a designer, this thing is invaluable. To be able to view the source HTML on my Touch is really handy. Great for inspiration and/or finding out "how do they do that." Great app. The three tabs are perfect. Easy, fast, and intuitive. I have no idea why a few peeps are knocking this app. Easily worth 6 bucks... At .99 cents it is a steal. I use it daily in the course of my design work. Would luv to see pro version with FTP and page editing features. Thanks.

Good bones but needs more work

I pretty much echo the previous comments. It needs better word wrap an a landscape mode.

Doesn't worth even the 0.99$

It shows exactly what it shows at the picture - half screen with no way to move a side. You see only half of the code... there is no support and the site of the aplication lead to another site.

Not as good as it looks

A bit disappointed, I was impressed by the screenshots and how it splits out links, scripts, and images, etc into a different tab - it looked like it was offering sonething different to, and above, what the free web based view source tools, such as Shaun Inman's one and iSource. But I couldn't get that tab to display anything and then on the actual source view page there is no way to select the text. So all in all pretty useless for me. A shame.

Copy & Paste?

Need the ability to copy & paste. The scrolling is horribly slow, and the tap-to-wordwrap is a little off.

Pretty much just needs the controls redone, because otherwise it is a decent viewer.

The Best Web-Source-View App

There are three apps on the app store (that I know of) that allow you to view web page source code. Web Source, View Source, and Source Viewer. Of the three, this app (Source Viewer) is the best by a slim margin. Web Source is free and functional, so for many that will win out - but its ugly and very bare bones. No colored code, no page view, no bookmarking. The other app View Source is really terrible. Its a buck, and contains NO FORMATING WHATSOEVER... Not even line breaks.

This app has some advantages over those - the code is colored, improving readability by leaps and bounds. Word-wrap can be toggled. You can also single out CSS, JS, and links. However it's a little on the sluggish side (performance wise, using a last-gen 3G - 3GS will probably be decent) when scrolling around the code view... and theres no search feature or live page view.

Of the three source code view apps, the is DEFINATELY the one to get. Consider coupling it with FTPOnTheGo for the ultimate iPhone web developer toolkit.

Buggy, but good

This is a great idea, and I can see how useful this would be. I had a few issues with it that were annoying, such as an inability to view pngs, the fact that images contained within a css stylesgeet aren't viewable until you're actually viewing the stylesheet, the way that a stylesheet's linebreaks and tabs are removed if you stop viewing it to view something else, then go back to view it, the difficulty in typing in urls in the homepage due to no clear button being there and the default keyboard being used, rather than the web keyboard, amongst other things.

Basically, it's a great idea, and it's handy, but I think still too buggy to be released, and definitely too buggy for it to cost money.
