### 1/5 — No sirve

No se levanta el server,  me pueden ayudar.

**Developer response:** Hi, can you please send an email to tinyserver@christian-lobach.de with a description of the issues you are experiencing, then I can try to help you.

### 2/5 — Will Not Start

*2022-10-20, version 1.4*

Was happy to pay the reasonable amount requested but was disappointed that I could not start the server. Selected a folder on an attached USB flash drive. Several seconds after clicking the “Start Server” button the app crashes. Downloaded on my iPhone running iOS 15.6.1.

### 4/5 — Useful - Once I was able to select a folder

*2024-01-11, version 1.4*

I was trying to use this to copy some files over from my iPad to my laptop and had some difficulty getting it to work (probably due to my own inexperience with iOS) so I'm sharing the steps I had to take in case it saves anyone else some trouble:

I was unable to select a folder from within the app, the "Open" button in the files popup was disabled for any folder I navigated to. Instead I had to open the Files app and use the "Share" option for the folder I was interested in serving with Tiny Server.

Also, this is almost certainly an issue with my router but I had to switch to the 2.4 GHz network for my connection to go through (however connecting the device to itself in Safari was never a problem) otherwise the connection would hang and eventually time out.

### 5/5 — Excellent web server/browser combo

*2026-06-04, version 1.5.2*

Use it to run a webapp with html, css, and javaScript. The server serves the directory in the background and the browser connects to it.

### 5/5 — Fixed my issues

*2026-02-24*

Brilliant, I’d been struggling to add a html file on my home screen to act like an app, this fixed it. Worth the money for sure

### 5/5 — Hilfreich und einfach zu nutzen

*2025-04-23*

Nachdem ich lange nach einer App zum Vorschau-Anzeigen von Html Dateien gesucht habe bin ich hier fündig geworden - ohne schwierige Anleitung - einfach installieren und html Datei in den ausgewählten Ordner kopieren und in der App den Browser starten - schon sieht man die Datei wie im Internet - simple und gut !!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic. Zero problems.

*2023-04-11, version 1.4*

Fantastic app. Easy setup. I’ll use it a often.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-04-27, version 1.4*

This app creates a website on your phone/tablet that lists files on the device and lets you download them. It’s a relatively simple way to make the files on your device available to other computers. For my use, the other computers were Garmin GPS units and the files were routes downloaded from websites to the phone. The developer updated TinyServer so it would also work for this use. Very cool.

### 5/5 — Best Web Server Possible on an iPhone

*2022-01-02, version 1.1*

This is very simple to use and takes in what other web server apps on the AppStore and simplifies it to something that isn’t a hassle to work with and it works well! Also I love the choice between the 2 URL’s that can be used to find the device that the server is being hosted on so you don’t have to send someone that you know your LAN IP like if they are next to you.
