About

Web Inspector expands Safari on iPhone and iPad with a set of web development tools: Elements: Browse the DOM tree and tap elements on the page to inspect them. View node details, styles, and computed values. Search the DOM, edit an element's HTML, and copy or delete nodes. Console: Type JavaScript commands to debug, modify, and get information about your webpage. Sources: Read the webpage's source with syntax highlighting. Network: See a list of network requests made by the webpage, with headers and responses. Filter requests, or copy one as a cURL command. Resources: Find details about the data stored by a webpage, such as cookies, local storage, and session storage. Tip: If you tap the Web Inspector button and nothing happens, reload the page once..

Why the review bombing?

"Program works as intended. To turn off the inspector go to console, then press the extension’s icon or menu option again."

Great :)

"Got the job done, amazing safari extension that let me debug some stuff without owning a Mac! Just an iPhone. My only complaint is not having a built in select all - copy / paste console output. Maybe it has one but I didn’t find it or figure it out. Regardless, this app enabled me to continue working on a project that was otherwise out of scope. Oh, AND ITS FREE 10/10"
