4/5Some free options now Pro
HTTPBot is a rock solid app and performs as advertised. Recently, however, I returned to the app after just a few weeks and some of the features that I was counting on for my workflow had been moved to pro features. 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.

5/5Perfect! (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!

5/5Internet 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!

3/5Nice 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.

5/5UPDATE: Perfect
NEW REVIEW: It just works. I had a newbie problem of my own and sent a https request to the test server which only had http. OLD REVIEW: What use is a HTTP request application if it does not show you the returned object right away. I’m always getting response 200 OK and a blank screen when sending a get request to my own working API.
