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.

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.

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!
