### 1/5 — Broken search

*2025-12-17, version 2.1.2*

Search is slow, which is fine and broken which is not.

### 1/5 — Crashes when selecting text in document

*2025-07-06, version 2.1.2*

As soon as I click on text the app crashes. The crash happens when I take my finger off the screen. It does show the pages nicely formatted with text highlighting. Suggestion: implement logic so a user can tap on an anchor to load that page. And fix the text selection bug.

### 3/5 — 微妙

*2025-02-28, version 2.1.2*

使えないことはないが古臭い上に
ソースが表示できないサイトすらある

### 1/5 — 使えるとかいうステマサイトに釣られた

*2025-01-01, version 2.1.2*

使えるとかいうステマサイトに釣られてダウンロードしたが、拒否されて表示されないサイトもあるし、ページ内検索なんか現在ように構築されてない。しっかり調べたら７年前からアップデートされてません。2025年でまともに使えないので広告だけ見せられて終わり。

### 1/5 — アプリが落ちて終了する

*2024-12-26, version 2.1.2*

7年前からずっとアップデートされないままだと流石に使えないか…残念ですね

### 3/5 — Great tool, but useless without 'select all'

*2024-10-03, version 2.1.2*

Could you please add a 'select all' function, or a simple button like 'copy to clipboard', that copies the entire source to the clip board to be pasted elsewhere?

Thanjs!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2024-08-30*

When i paste url its keep on crashing

### 5/5 — 無料で使える

*2024-04-09, version 2.1.2*

無料で使えます.日本語の表示が所々見づらくなっていますが読む分には問題ないと思いました.cssファイルやJava scriptも他のレビューにある通り読めます

### 5/5 — works + action from browser

*2022-07-03, version 2.1.2*

The app works well for exactly what it says - viewing the source from a website.  In the app you can input a URL, but directly from the browser (Safari) you have a new “action” to open the page’s source.

### 4/5 — Dark mode

*2022-05-23*

Please give us dark mode

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.1.2 — 2017-08-03

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Another round of bug fixes for search functionality... at this point I've lost all hope and I'm not even sure it will ever work as it used to. RIP.

In other news - dropped support for iOS 8 and did some ground work for shiny new features! \o/

### 2.1.1 — 2016-09-20

TL;DR bug fixes for search

You will not believe this, but if you search for something, it will (probably) find something. For real!

- Fixed syntax highlighting (I promise)
- Search results are now highlighted
- Possible to navigate between search items
- Total count of search results is displayed

Shoutout to @BobbyBabes for reporting bugs on Twitter and sorry it took only 3 years to fix them >:D

### 2.0 — 2016-07-28

Would be awesome if there was syntax highlighting, right? Well now there is!

This update introduces:
- syntax highlighting
- search
- slight design changes

... also fixed a bunch (not all, this app has no chill) of annoying crashes.

If you would like to provide me with your feedback or report a problem you're experiencing, it's best to tweet me @r00m

### 1.0 — 2015-09-28
