User Reviews

Reviewers praise the app for on-the-go API testing on iPad with a solid feature set (headers, variables, request builder) and multiple response views. Recurrent drawbacks focus on variable handling limitations (types, scope, re-use) and import/JSON capabilities. Some users compare it unfavorably to PAW/Postman. Accessibility via VoiceOver is a notable plus for some, while others want more features (OAuth2, shortcuts) and workflow improvements.

Pros

Solid API testing on iPad with headers, variable substitution, and a capable request builder.
Supports viewing responses in multiple formats and switching between them.
Mobile-friendly workflow suitable for off-laptop API testing.
VoiceOver accessibility on iPad for blind/low-vision users.

Cons

Variable handling is limited: only string values, no per-request scope, and difficulty reusing response data as variables.
Import and JSON viewing/import features are limited (cannot easily import or view JSON files).
Not as feature-rich as PAW or Postman.
