## Description

Rest Client - Pocket POSTMAN is a lightweight and powerful mobile utility designed for developers to test and analyze REST API responses efficiently on-the-go. With this extension, you can send HTTP/HTTPS requests with minimal customization, view detailed raw server responses including headers and response codes, and manage your request history effortlessly.

The app supports sending Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) downstream messages, including Push Notifications to registered devices via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) endpoints. It features the ability to save requests into collections for quick reuse, offers autocompletion of headers and body attributes, supports multiple POST body types (raw, key-value, and file), and allows customization of connection timeout settings. Ideal for developers needing a handy REST testing tool on mobile devices.

## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app for being easy to use, with a clean UI, fast response times, and a convenient way to save and organize API requests, plus its free availability as a Postman alternative. However, several recurring issues hinder workflow: persistent invalid URL errors preventing saves; inability to attach files to form-data; duplicating saved requests instead of updating existing ones; missing JSON option for requests; and poor handling of certain response types like images. Some note other feature gaps like environment variables and dark mode.

### Pros

- Easy to use and intuitive UI
- Clean interface without ads
- Fast response times and reliable for API testing
- Ability to save and organize requests to boost productivity
- Free or strong Postman-like alternative

### Cons

- Invalid URL validation that blocks saves (URL errors for localhost and other endpoints)
- Cannot attach files to form-data (add file button not working)
- Saving an existing request duplicates instead of updating
- Missing JSON option for requests (no JSON body support)
- Poor handling of some response types (e.g., images) in responses
