Web development tools for iOS.
Inspect is a web inspector for iOS that provides desktop-class developer tools, right in the app. No need for remote debugging, connecting to a desktop, proxies, or remote systems.
Included are:
- JavaScript console.
- HTML element inspection and editing (with live preview).
- CSS inspection and editing (with live preview).
- View element details: CSS rules, JavaScript properties, dimension statistics, and more.
- Open files and folders from other apps (like Working Copy), or from iCloud to test locally.
- Network panel, displaying page headers and XHR requests.
- Responsive design tools: View your site with a variety of mobile and desktop sizes and orientations, including support for custom sizes and user agents.
- Cookies, local storage, and session storage inspector and editor.
- Resource graph.
- View raw page source.
- Control over browser operation: disable JavaScript, cache, and clear cache and cookies to test various operations and states.
- Save a screenshot of your site, including the ability to save the full page.
This app has been invaluable in enabling me to debug effectively whilst on the move. That said, two things that bother me; The ‘Disable cache’ setting doesn’t seem to persist, and the browser doesn’t seem to allow any sort of geolocation which is a shame as this is the basis of a lot of my work. Still, a very useful and well designed tool
Developer Response
Glad you’re enjoying the app! Thanks for the feedback as well- The disable cache setting is a per-tab setting so it resets for each new tab. Definitely hear how that can be frustrating and we’ll look at options. Geolocation is something we’ve heard from a few users and we are looking at it for the future. Always glad to hear what people need in a dev tool so please send us an email if you have any other ideas!
I've been looking for this type of app for so long!

I'm a web developer, and the bane of developing on an iPad, which is my main driver, is not having access to the javascript console or any of the really useful debugging tools you get on a desktop browser. Well, thanks to this app, my life is now so much easier!! I didn't hold much Hope, but it really is an invaluable tool for anyone developing for the web. I was worried when I saw there were in app purchases, but this is just for themes, rather than functionality. This is a must have app for anyone who develops on their mobile device!
Fantastic app and support

This app was the missing piece to migrating over to an iPad Pro for development. It allows you to edit the CSS live and has a JavaScript console. It also allows you to open local websites. I am currently using the Working Copy app to download my repos locally and using this app I can load them into the browser.Another great plus is this is in active development, I had an issue and the developer got back to me within 5 mins and the next day an update was ready and the bug was fixed. Can’t ask for more than that.
The only Web Inspector worth consideration on iPad

While there is every possibility that this app could get sherlocked by Apple, for now Inspect is far and away the best inspector you can get on the iPad. Version 2.0 is a major step forward and adds some features that I didn’t know I needed and work even better on an iPad. If you are in the market for something like this look no further.
