Community Voice & Feedback
Requires starting a trial with auto-billing afterwards to even get into the app. Instantly deleted.
Got it try and make a post call. Can’t seem to get past the “Start your Pro Trial” screen. I don’t want to start a trial just to try the “free” app.
You can’t even test out the app without signing up for a $5 weekly subscription. Most apps at least have a free tier. Junk
I wanted to keep this one, but the biggest thing I have a problem with is that you can’t copy the response data from the API call. It has a “copy” option but there must be a bug or something because it never goes to the clipboard. Otherwise, its way less clunkier than Postman!
It seems this app is optimized only for iOS. On the Mac you can’t copy and paste any data from the API responses - the only way is with share sheets. This has persisted for many versions.
Solid HTTP client
I paid for premium. There are no instructions on how to use the Apple Shortcuts actions.
Reaching out to support results in zero response. Seems like a nice app useful for mobile requests and automations but I’ll never know.

App Store simply says “in store purchases”. Upon opening it first time, you have NO OPTION to use-before-buy. You are forced to select a subscription. Sorry - not paying monthly/yearly for something that should be a one-time purchase. Especially when I don’t even have the option to test-drive it first.
What’s the point of making the app free on the App Store if I can't use anything at all without a subscription?
Follows HCI great on mobile.
Yep
Blank collection waste of money
Forces you to get pro wish i coup give it 0 stars but i like the concept of the app

Basically, many of my calls were saved as custom workflows. Now you need Pro to run custom work flows, as well as export as CURL, so I have to re-create these workflows manually.
This is a core usability change has left me stuck in the water, as purchasing Pro is now a considered purchase and I have to go back and compare HTTPBot to the other paid REST apps that are out there, especially if I’m going to have to re-create all of my calls manually anyway.
This is not a complaint, just an alert for those folks that have developed workflows in the app before those features went Pro.
It's a rock solid app. And the developer deserves to get paid for it. But if you previously chose HTTP bot specifically because of the features that are now only available in the Pro version, you now have other apps to consider before you buy.
