Thanjs! ### 4/5 — Dark mode *2022-05-23* Please give us dark mode ### 3/5 — Unreliable search *2022-04-15, version 2.1.2* The search function is clunky and unreliable. Among other things. Okay for taking a quick look at some source code. ### 4/5 — Nice app *2021-07-19, version 2.1.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Shows HTML source, but not from the current Safari page *2021-07-07, version 2.1.2* 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. ### 3/5 — Used to be 5 Stars *2020-08-15, version 2.1.2* 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? ### 4/5 — Works well, continues to work *2020-08-03, version 2.1.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Simple and Free *2020-06-22, version 2.1.2* 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. ### 3/5 — Can I see CSS? *2020-06-05, version 2.1.2* Can I see not only html but also CSS information? ### 3/5 — Needs additional features *2020-06-05, version 2.1.2* Easy copy paste. Ability to email source or selected code of page. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Crashing *2024-08-30* When i paste url its keep on crashing ### 1/5 — No share sheet integration! *2022-04-28, version 2.1.2* Really?! ### 1/5 — は *2021-01-11, version 2.1.2* jsとかcssはどうすんの？ ### 1/5 — Lack of basic functionality *2020-06-03, version 2.1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Not as useful as it could be *2020-05-14, version 2.1.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Can’t highlight/copy/paste ANYTHING. *2020-05-13, version 2.1.2* 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! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Can’t use, but have cute description so 5 star *2021-05-07, version 2.1.2* R R ### 5/5 — Helpful lil free app *2021-02-02, version 2.1.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Good!! *2021-01-25, version 2.1.2* Very good🤩 ### 5/5 — Aku suka buanget *2020-12-20, version 2.1.2* Aplikasinya bagus aku suka banget ### 5/5 — Great *2020-10-15, version 2.1.2* Awesome! ### 5/5 — CSSの見方は以下の通り *2020-07-14, version 2.1.2* /style.cssを最後につければ見られます。 使いやすいアプリだと思いました。 ### 5/5 — Simple and does what it says *2020-07-12, version 2.1.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Good *2020-07-10, version 2.1.2* This app is free and I can see website source in iPhone so I think this app is very good. I use this app many time xD --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
