4/5Only one thing missing
It would be great if you added the same “focus” functionality like the desktop app, make it like a favorite or something that you can select endpoints that always shows on the top to make a quicker way of debugging while coding, that’s the only thing missing from making it a 5 star review. Thanks.

5/5Great to See Where Apps Send Your Web Traffic
I’m not a software or web developer. But I’m very interested in personal privacy & what information my installed apps are sending to third parties. This app allows me to sniff internet requests & responses going from & to my iPhone & iPad over HTTP, HTTPS, & cellular networks. Using domain names & IP addresses of network traffic, you can see the vast majority of popular apps are sending device data (name, device, calendar, location, search history, etc.) to many third-party advertising trackers. If you want to see which installed apps are the main sources of digital surveillance & tracking of the personal information on your device, get this app. It took about 10 minutes to set up the app. The setup directions are clear & understandable, but they must be precisely followed for the app to work properly. Many thanks to the CharlesProxy team for bringing this app to iOS & making it so easy to use.

5/5So convenient!
The iOS version of Charles is a perfect complement to the desktop version: it turns on and off without messing with WiFi settings, can capture cell data, and works even when you're away from your laptop. Would be great if you could toggle on/off or clear session without switching apps, like via Control Center or Notification Center. Use the desktop version for easier viewing and searching of capture files, and advanced features like Map Remote or repeating requests. If you get stuck, there's great info on the Charles website. Happy sleuthing!

5/5Good tool for developers
The initial configuration took about 30 minutes to figure out, however it is now much easier then using the desktop app. One of the best things about this app is the easy use once you have things setup. The current price is not to bad for the amount of time it saves you debugging. The work flow is slightly different in that all request monitoring is on your phone, so if you have hundreds of JSONs flying around your app you might find it harder to inspect them on the phones app versus the desktop version.

1/5Hopefully this is incomplete
I hope there’s much more to come but looking at the version history, I can’t really say I have much confidence in it happening. You’re very limited in what you can do or see, URL structure only appears as 2 parts, form data doesn’t appear very detailed as with the desktop version. You don’t even have the ability to repeat a request, much less use breakpoints for editing requests or responses. It’s not completely useless but it certainly needs improvement, otherwise I’ll be hoping for telerik to release fiddler for iOS, given all the extra features Fiddler4 has over Charles, I would expect they’d release an iOS app with more features.

1.1
Thank you for all the great feedback on Charles for iOS. We have made a number of important improvements in this minor update release, including: * New icon and splash screen (while we dearly love our icon, we felt the new icon fit better on iOS) * Brotli support * Opt-out for Fabric in Charles Settings * Bug fixes including crashes, and Charles can now start correctly after you've used another VPN app. Charles currently uses Fabric for crash reporting and usage stats. We will be removing Fabric in a future release, once we have been able to replace its crash reporting function.
