- Not working on latest chrome versions
- RAJ BATTULA
- it is perfect for rest endpoints testing
- David Njoroge
- simple fast and has all the functions
- Smith M
- It's simple, convenient, Lovely UI, good performance and capabilities. Most importantly - I enjoy using it. It has great value over the other apps.
- Marian I
- Typing one character at a time...
- Kay Ohtie
- It would work great, but on current Chrome OS I have to type my JSON body for POST/etc into Caret and then paste into the editor. Otherwise, I can only type 1 character at a time, and then must click to place the cursor again before typing the next.
- Cristhian Ortega
- Outstanding tool, thanks a lot..!
- Deepak Pathania
- Really cool, would really appreciate if the previous requests I made were available as history of some sort so that I don't have to add params every time I switch to try a new request.
- Kristijan Koncar
- UI is brutal. Fantastic design. But UX is a lot better on POSTMAN. Rearange items a little bit and your app will be fantastic. I want to say that it is perfect for basic things, but UX is complicated for advanced queries
- Nara Sankar
- Excellent app. I have been using the Advanced Rest Client, PostMan, etc in the past and this one is very simple. There are few flaws but it is very good app for the most part.
- Giorgio Napoli
- perfect, i'm using the standalone windows version (v4.2.11)
- Matthew Church
- Could not view response body, a necessary feature for a rest client
- Todd Olsen
- Works very well for my needs. It is especially good at helping debug REST calls from Matlab because it gives much more descriptive error messages than Matlab returns. Makes it much quicker to fix minor errors in the posted JSON.
- Grigorichev Denis
- Doesn't start at all!
- Bahadir Tasdemir
- Cannot find anywhere to add file on my POST request, make it available or seenable!
- Sulman Baig
- Very best than postman
- Алексей А
- Great app, it really helped me with my work
- Jones R. Avelino Junior
- The best!
- gunduz yavuzer
- Clean interface, works well. No issues so far.
- Ralf Heese
- The app is in general not 1 star, however, I just installed version 3.0 and it lacks a key feature present in the previous version (or at least I cannot find it): Bulk edit of request headers. How can I just paste the headers as plain text?
- Rirch R
- good
- Isaias Carrera
- I think if you format the output given by the app (ej json, xml) it would be amazing , it's an amazing app though.
- Manuel López
- Excellent! Just one issue: I can't send FILES!! So I need other clietn to test POSTing files. Please, add this and it will be the best.
- Angel De Dios
- Great tool. It helps me a lot testing my REST API's
- Tony Gallagher
- Excellent tool. I was happy with the json linting and the organising of calls. Then I discovered I can paste a bash curl into the app and it formatted out all of the data and headers.... perfect
- Jakub Senohrabek
- Nice app, but when response is in html, the render view (renders html as browser does) would be nice to have in case of debugging. User interface is clear and really friendly. The sync with browser feature would be nice.
- Nazeel A K
- awesome! one of the best tool we should use
- ChangMin Oh
- simple & elegant.
- Raul Cabero
- It helpful for my test, but I would like to improve how the saved request are sort, it is pretty dificult to handle when you have several requests
- Devendra Tiwari
- Just started...Nice Interface and quite smooth and engaging :)
- Michael Mosler-Krings
- Easy to use tool even for a REST newbie like me.
- Yura Yazlovytskyy
- Would be nice to have some scripting features available. For example to be able to fire the request 10 times in a row.
- T UA
- Very clean app - love it. Would have given it 5 stars if it allowed me to deal with the tiny fonts (on high res monitors) - notably the byte count/milliseconds at top right. Also when top right results button is yellow - white on yellow hard to read - need more contrast and bigger font.
- Judah Bloom
- Robust functionality and very easy to use. It has been perfect for testing my REST server.
- Zeyu Wei
- Awesome app, love it! It would be even better if it could have a JSON formatter embedded. p.s. Agree with Kiran A Biliyawala, request history is also needed. p.p.s. Do you open source it somewhere?
- Johann Pérez
- Awesome tool!
- Vinay Pai
- Amazing app, very well designed interface and great features for a developer.
- Mauricio Sierra
- Super helpful!
- Tyler Sowers
- This is the most excellent REST API client I have ever used. The interface is clean, intuitive and doesn't get in the way of productivity. Kudos to Gregory for such an excellent product.
- Vladimir Sanchez Mondeja
- Great and fastest app for REST Full Api testing.
- Abhishek Dhankar
- Awesome look. BUG: When I trigger 2 requests in parallel and switch tabs then response-A appears in Tab-B and Tab-A shows response-B. Please fix. Not so mature app like Postman.
- Herbert Lee
- good!!
- Cesar Quiroz
- I love it!!! They have to add the option to work with Files, but other than that, is the best tool to test your REST services!! :)
- Carter Foulger
- works beautifully for any and all testing purposes. Easy to use, and elegant in it's simplicity. I couldn't ask for more.
- Oluwadamiloju Osinaike
- I love using it for testing my CRUD apps. Well designed interface!
- David Yasko
- This REST client is easy to use, and works perfectly! Great job! If I could ask for one enhancement, it would be for a way to execute all of the requests in a folder at once. If I could ask for two, the second would be support for nested folders of requests.
- Diego Chiari
- The best rest client option in Chrome
- Gaurav Rao
- I was using Advanced Rest Client before this, it was difficult to use that because the switching mechanism among different request was not intuitive. Insomnia has a pretty nice design. You have a navigator like panel on the left which gives you ease to switch between different requests with one click. It also caches your changes so like I said working parallel with different requests is much easier now.
- Jesús Darío
- No forcly user + password, and great GIF. Aesthetics are a bit sad, but in what usability is about it is quite perfect for work.
- Moin Uddin
- Really useful app. Amazing work guys!
