Review summary

Users find Boomerang to be a simple, lightweight, and effective API testing tool with a clean UI, useful for both SOAP and REST services. It supports import/export and works well in browser context. However, recent updates have repeatedly caused loss of saved data, including environments and requests, frustrating users. The new version also introduced several usability problems and bugs related to request management and configuration. Missing advanced features like scripting and cookie handling limit some use cases. Overall, while highly regarded for ease of use, persistent data loss and bugs hurt the experience.
Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to use API testing tool for both SOAP and REST services.
  • Useful for quick prototyping and testing of APIs with a clean and simple UI design.
  • Supports import and export of API requests and collections, aiding project backup and sharing.
  • Developer is responsive and the tool saves time during the development process.
  • Works well in browser context, including features like certificates, making testing more seamless.
Cons
  • Recent updates caused loss of saved environments, API calls, folders, and projects leading to data loss for multiple users.
  • The new version introduced usability issues such as difficulty using right-click, unpredictable request duplication placement, and unclear environment variable usage.
  • Occasional bugs where requests lose headers after import or require re-adding headers after saving.
  • Lack of features like cookie support and scripting capabilities before or after requests.
  • Bug in extension home page redirection causing errors and usability disruption.

2025-06-10 ***** 很轻量级的api测试工具，很好用，但是最近一次更新后之前的记录和配置都没了
2025-04-29 Br***** I really like this until all of sudden all my environment that I have created + api calls + folders all of them gone for ever and had to recreate them once more!! Even then again it happeend and all gone. Thanks!
2025-02-13 Ch***** For the second time in as many months, I've opened boomerang and my entire project is gone. Everything. Dozens of requests, all gone. DO NOT use this extension if you're not prepared to lose all your work.
2025-01-29 ***** 和之前有很大差异，并且不兼容，为什么不新开一个插件呢？
2024-12-13 me***** 为什么会越来越难用呢？ 之前用得好好的，有一次突然打不开了，重新安装之后。就变得特别难用：1）右键没法使用，每次都得点击那个小菜单。2）duplicate 之后的request一会跑到第一个一会跑到第五个或者不知哪个位置（之前都是直接在当前request下面不是挺好的）。3）upload修改name后，文件名也改了。4）添加环境变量之后根本不知道这个变量应该怎么用。。。。弃了
2024-12-12 Ol***** Fast and useful tool for testing REST interfaces. Import and export of URL collections possible. The developer can be reached by email and responds quickly.
2024-11-12 NI***** new version is hard to use! 1. Adding a request always refer to the first API 2. Lost all header when Import boomerange file
2024-11-04 xi***** 简单易用，请求参数配置方便且能按照自定义文件夹保存请求配置信息，推荐使用
2024-10-23 Ga***** I like the clean design of Boomerang. The fact that you can export your projects is helpful, but some form of local persistence would be welcome.
2024-10-23 ***** 简单 易用 推荐使用
