Unable to continue using it unless you reload. Cursor doesn’t work ### 4/5 — Works on iOS 26 but I can't use it on iOS 9 like the photo shown *2026-07-05* This app works on IOS 26 but it isn't working on iOS 9 in my purchases ik it's old but good app ### 2/5 — Good, but could be better. Doesn't work on Youtube. *2026-06-25* A much needed web inspector for iOS Safari. There are three issues that can be improved though: 1. Sometimes the web inspector just doesn't open. One review said that it's because the tab crashed, but I find that sometimes if I leave a tab open for too long the inspector also doesn't open. 2. No horizontal scrolling in the DOM viewer means that once you're 15 nested elements deep, the code gets squished to the right third of the screen with about 10 characters per line. Once you get to 20 nested elements you can't even see the code because it's offscreen. A weird oversight to have for such a useful plugin. 3. Doesn't work on Youtube. ### 3/5 — Counterintuitive *2026-06-20, version 1.2.7* Can’t close the extension after opening it, useless. ### 3/5 — Leider *2026-05-10* mittlerweile ohne Funktion. Update jetzt funktioniert er wieder, warum auch immer. ### 2/5 — Doesn't work anymore *2025-12-23, version 1.2.7* Used to work great. Now when i try to open it nothing happens. ### 3/5 — Good, but could be better *2025-10-10* A much needed web inspector for iOS Safari. There are two issues that can be improved though: 1.

(I edited the code of the website) ### 4/5 — Needs an update *2025-08-21* Asks for permissions multiple times and doesn’t close on 2nd open. Other than that this is an essential app ### 5/5 — Very useful *2025-08-19* I use it to debug my web app, which curiously behaves differently on iPad than on desktop. My only complaint is that it doesn't show the request headers in network tab (always empty). ### 3/5 — Can we get an update? *2025-06-20* This app is great but I notice there are lots of little quality control issues where when using it’s basically tapping on the webpage behind it and creating unexpected ability to analyze content. Would love a little refresh. Would be willing to pay :) ### 5/5 — Incredible extension! *2025-06-11* No Mac needed or other complicated solutions to inspect elements. This is perfect and has all of the DevTools functionality I was looking for. THANK YOU!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-14, version 1.2.7* Useless. Reset after 2 seconds ### 1/5 — Leider auf dem iPad schlecht bis gar nicht nutzbar *2026-06-23* Ich habe gerade ein aktuelles Problem mit einer Website auf dem iPad, bei der ich mit dem Sagari-Entwicklermodus auf dem Mac nicht weiterkomme, da immer die Verbindung nach wenigen Sekunden unterbrochen wird; das Konsolenfenster blitzt nur kurz auf. Auf Empfehlung habe ich dann den Web Inspector heruntergeladen und installiert; dessen Konsolenfenster erscheint auch. Leider wird dabei ein größerer Teil des iPad-Displays verdeckt - und da die Website nicht an die neue Größe angepass wird, sind die Bedienelemente auf der Website, die ich debuggen wollte, verdeckt und nicht erreichbar. Von daher: Nur einen Stern, da für mich nicht nutzbar… ### 1/5 — Poor app build *2026-05-08, version 1.2.7* Can open inspect menu but cannot exit or hide the inspect menu upon opening it therefore making it completely useless ### 1/5 — doesn't work *2026-05-08, version 1.2.7* it doesn't work ### 1/5 — not really helpful *2026-05-04* ive had this extention for ages i dont even really know what it does. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-22, version 1.2.7* Title ### 1/5 — Hacker *2025-06-05, version 1.2.7* Pretty sure this app hacks your safari passkeys ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-06-04* It keeps spamming the permission panel and doesn’t analyze the goddamn page. Allow for one day, one website. ### 1/5 — Won’t allow *2025-05-28* When i go to toggle this in extensions, it wont let me add it. ### 1/5 — Can’t select element on the webpage itself *2025-03-20* Great app, but because we can’t select an element on the webpage itself, it makes the app a bit useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lush *2026-08-08* Stuff ### 5/5 — 🐯🐯🐯🐯🇯🇵🧠🔞 *2026-07-05* 白虎 ai ### 5/5 — I love this extension! But there is a problem. *2026-05-07* Great! But doesn’t work on some websites not showing up at all. ### 5/5 — 好用 *2026-03-18* 能看到cookies这些 非常实用 ### 5/5 — Amazing, but doesn’t work on latest iOS *2026-02-23* No longer seems to work on safari using iOS 26.4 ### 5/5 — 太好用了 *2026-01-22* 苹果浏览器弥补了没有查看的功能，还可在线修改，亲测有效! ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-01-11* muito boa a extensão, especialmente para o ecossistema iOS, onde faltam ferramentas, aplicativos, extensões e serviços para dev como se tem no android com mais facilidade. parabéns a equipe de devs! ### 5/5 — This thing does the job! *2025-10-05* Even with WebKit limiting functionality (something nobody can have control over, even devs), this thing does the job! Console works, everything works pretty much exactly like a desktop browser. The only complaint I have is there's no settings capability, you can't change the fonts nor color. And it's difficult to finely choose details. Other than that, this is the only Safari Add On that does the thing! ### 5/5 — Very Handy *2025-09-22* Needs the ability to search inside network tab please. ### 5/5 — 最高 *2025-08-29* Amazonの検索結果に出てくるスポンサー商品を消すスクリプトを作りたくて導入。 Chromeの検証機能みたいに要素を調べられるのでとても助かった。 おすすめのアプリです。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
