## Review summary

Users praise Reqable for ease of use, rich features, and educational value, but report reliability and compatibility problems. Main themes: capture reliability, VPN/MITM dependencies, and missing interception features after updates. Overall a capable tool with learning benefits, but improvements in stability and OS support are needed.

### Pros

- Easy to use and beginner-friendly UI
- Feature-rich with powerful interception capabilities
- Great for learning and educational use
- Beautiful UI and overall positive experience

### Cons

- Traffic capture is unreliable or intermittently fails on many devices and updates
- Reliance on VPN/MITM interception and root access; VPN can disrupt network
- Some key features (breakpoint/rewrite) have been removed or are missing in updates
- Compatibility issues on newer Android versions (e.g., Android 16) leading to no capture
