HTTPBot 4+

Perfect! (Was Update killed features)

I have to say not only is this app now perfect, but the developer is really on top of his game! As you can see from my previous reviews below, there were some bugs introduced in an update. Not only did the dev respond to my review, but all the issues were rapidly resolved!

Love this app and dev!

Old review:
Thanks for the response! I have found another bug that is the cause of most of my issues. If the name of a request is over a certain length the 3 dot menu to rename, export to curl, etc are no longer visible! The problem is that when creating a new request the default name is “Untitled Request” which is already too long and the 3 dot menu is hidden.

Please let me know if you can replicate! iPhone X here!

Upgraded to 3 stars as I know you’re working on it. Will bump up as appropriate when fixes are in!

The below is my original review for reference. Will remove this and update further as things are fixed:
Latest update killed some basic functionality and features. No longer can edit the name of a request? Even creating a new request I see no way to edit the name.

Killed the import and export as curl feature? This was a very nice feature and one of the main reasons I paid for this app.

Also with the new request/response tabs at the bottom there is no “Done” button on the response tab. You have to navigate back to the request to hit Done. This is a big annoyance.

Please bring back these basics!

Developer Response ,

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. The request options have just moved from the navigation bar, to the overflow menu right next to the request name. To import curl, you can long press on the add button and choose that option in the menu. And finally regarding the done button, point taken! I'll look into it. For any other feedback, please do reach out to support@httpbot.io.

Thanks!

Internet connection error

I’d love to rate this more but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to use this to make calls to my hue api. Everything I try shows me a message "The internet connection appears to be offline". However making a get call to google returns a result.

Update: apparently iOS has a setting you need to approve to give the app access to query local devices. Great app!

Nice functionality but the documentation is poor

Almost impossible to find what ‘variable’ parameter means when running HTTPBot through iOS shortcuts. Documentation in app or on website is non-existent (not as in there’s very little documentation, but as in there’s literally zero documentation pages nor sections). Googling does not help. Support and user community is small. Finally, even on their website where they say environmental variables can be saved (maybe a hint at what variables might mean), there’s no clear way to do that in the iOS app.
