Broken search
Search is slow, which is fine and broken which is not.
Crashes when selecting text in document
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.
Great tool, but useless without 'select all'
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!
Thanjs!
Crashing
When i paste url its keep on crashing
works + action from browser
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.
Dark mode
Please give us dark mode
No share sheet integration!
Really?!
Unreliable search
The search function is clunky and unreliable. Among other things. Okay for taking a quick look at some source code.
Nice app
Great app! Just one little request — the ability to Select All or be able to export the source code so I can view on a desktop. Manually highlighting all of the source code isn’t fool proof.
Shows HTML source, but not from the current Safari page
This tool allows you to select View Source from the Share Sheet in Safari on iPhone/iPad. It will pass the URL along to the View Source app, but it’s making a separate request and will fail to give you the actual page you’re viewing in Safari if that page normally requres authoriztion - like a web mail / gmail, portal or any page that requires a login. So that makes this far less useful. It would be nice if it could dump the current Safari HTML document buffer as HTML, but it doesn’t do that.

Helpful lil free app
Ok may require a little initial troubleshooting, but works great after that. Had to do a phone restart & closing out of the app & Safari and then reopening them a few times, but I got the View Source action to show up in Safari for me. So you can open up the app that way when browsing or you can copy paste the url into the app. I don’t know what that other reviewer was talking about w not being able to copy the text from it. Maybe they weren’t familiar with using ios’s built in copy paste menu & they wanted a separate button. ANYWAYS you can definitely copy the text. And it has a Find feature too; it’s found thru a menu option. Thank you for making this, developer!

Great
Awesome!
Used to be 5 Stars
Is it just my device? Or is everyone else having issues copying data?
This app is a necessity for me, but unfortunately I am no longer able to copy text within the source code. Does anyone by any chance have a workaround to copy text?

Works well, continues to work
I have not found another app that does with this one does and/or does as well as this one. The author apparently has not updated it in years, but it still continues to work.
Simple and does what it says
Kind of refreshing to have an app that just does what you need. Cool and thanks. As far as the one star review that claims they can cut and paste, well it’s called View Source for a reason. And it’s free. I also think the developer might open a can of legal issues if they allowed all that functionality. Oh and it’s free!

Simple and Free
Honestly, apps that require you to purchase this feature are out of their minds.
Does the job without complaints, helps with finding elements for data collection/logging (e.g finding the element that relates to a changing value)
The only two things this app should include is ability to copy and save source to file.
Other than that this app works perfect for my needs.

Needs additional features
Easy copy paste.
Ability to email source or selected code of page.
Ability to email source or selected code of page.
Lack of basic functionality
It does what it says but there’s no way to select all the code to copy so you need to scroll all the way down while selecting line by line.
Not as useful as it could be
This is a tool for people with idle curiosity, but is lacking one tiny function that would make it useful to Web developers.
You can VIEW the source, but that’s it. Just look, nothing else. You can’t even copy paste the source.
I tried this tool because I’m trying to debug a very complex CMS-managed site that isn’t working on mobile. Being able to copy/paste the source to a file so I can compare it to the source being served on desktop browsers would have let me fix the problem in a jiffy. But with this app, you might as well be looking at a screenshot of the source. You can’t do anything with it—no highlighting, no copy/paste, nothing. You can only read it, that’s all.

Can’t highlight/copy/paste ANYTHING.
Seriously what is the point of viewing the source code when you can’t do anything to interact with it? Can’t copy parts or export/share in any way. Won’t let me highlight text at all.
All it lets you do is view the source code, find within page and copy the main page URL which I copied in myself anyway, but not copy parts of the page.
I was trying to look at a page and find the first mention of jpg (fair enough, it can do that with the find function) then copy that jpg location in to the address bar back in Safari, but since I can’t highlight or copy anything this thing is useless!
You’d be better off making a paid app that has a good range of functions, not just a source viewer. I am fine with paying for good apps!
