Awesome
Love to see iconfactory the OGs of visual design system still hitting home runs with honest useful elegant tools for makers. Endlessly useful this one
Forgets iap
Sometimes forgets in-app purchases and takes a moment to refresh, kinda annoying and can be problematic offline.
Almost perfect
Simple, plain, effective localhost style server with good supporting features. I use it with Runestone for editing html/js/css and Working Copy for syncing with a repo. They can be used for free for anyone looking to setup a web dev environment on their phone, this app works with local or remote(cloud based) folders.
(I bought the full version more than a year ago after using the trial version enough I felt it worthwhile to remove the limitations permanently)
+no ads, no accounts, just the features.
+options to do what I need in a comfortable way (choose automatic or manual refresh on file change, preview in app or separate browser, etc)
+unlimited usage demo iirc
+one-time payment
-free version is intentionally inconvenient (is turning off the beeping a paid feature? I hope I’m misremembering that)
-usually has one glaring bug that is non-critical but inconvenient, each version seems to fix one issue and introduce another but this is probably apple issues sometimes
-slow updates but thank goodness it’s not abandoned
+-overall awesome software but slow updates can make it feel abandoned with a very small number of obvious issues. Right now starting a server (on my phone) is unresponsive then trying again starts but with an error message saying it failed. However it seems to work in the unresponsive case as I’m able to use the software it just doesn’t acknowledge that it’s running. Also another review said the purchased version couldn’t be validated offline, I tested multiple ways of disconnecting but couldn’t get this issue to occur, maybe it’s fixed but it’s unclear what is attributable to the app versus iOS or the iPhone itself. So I recommend the trial if you are interested but kick the tires before buying, I don’t regret buying it to support the developers.

I don’t write reviews often but…
I have to give this only 3 stars, as it is a great web server and all, but they made it so that you have to continuously be on the internet for it to maintain its “permanent” licensing after you already bought it. I live on an Indian reservation where, if I leave my home away from my wifi internet, I have no cell signal. When I open this app up in a no signal situation, it suddenly claims that my “trial period is over”, which shouldn’t be the case since I already bought this app… I’m not pleased with that glitch, or was it done intentionally to annoy us when we are off signal? I bought this app for offline use, and it’s not fair that I cant just keep my license active offline away from signal due to my unique living circumstances.

It work
I tried five other apps before finding this one. Some of them didn’t work; others I don’t know if they work because they were too complicated. One of them had some odd reasons, like wanting me to be connected to WiFi before I could start the server.
This one just works; it’s simple and straightforward: add a folder, start the server, click a link to open the site—all in one page. I love it. I immediately paid for the pro because I don’t see anything wrong here. Girls celebrating, let’s stop reaching! to surpass the developer.
