So close to perfect

I use my IPad as a primary device and this app fits in my workflow perfectly. This won’t be as important for most people but it is completely accessible with the VoiceOver screen reader so blind and low vision users have access to all the features in this app. The only thing I am missing at this point is the ability to retrieve a value from a response and assign it to a variable to use in subsequent requests. If that feature is in this app I can’t find how to use it. Otherwise all around great experience.

Handy app!

Great app when you’re away from your laptop and need to issue some REST calls. Has all the features you’d expect, including headers, variable substitution, and different views of responses.

Using a variable in the URL needs some help. No braces in the keyboard for URLs, so you have to copy & paste from some other field to get a variable into the URL. And using a variable (containing valid host address) for the host address incorrectly shows an error: “The entered URL does not include a host, please insert a valid host.”

Pretty good

This does pretty well for what it does, it would be nice if you could switch between the responses on each call, instead of needing to run the call again to get the response. It would also be great if the returned JSON could be collapsed. Otherwise one of the better clients I have used for iPad.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback, the previous response will be shown starting with version 1.2.0, an outline JSON view is coming with the bigger iOS 14 update.
