User reviews

Wappalyzer is praised by web developers and designers for its detailed website technology insights and stability. Users find the free version quite sufficient, and it aids competitive and professional research. However, recent updates demanding broader permissions (like managing downloads) raised privacy concerns. Also, several users report malfunctioning issues such as crashes, corruption messages, inaccurate data display, or failure to load data. Overall, while the tool is valued for its functionality, updates have introduced usability and privacy concerns causing some users to disable or avoid it.
