Echo App Reviews
Decent. It needs a few improvements.
You are unable to copy text from the right-most panel!? It should also log requests/responses.
I really really want to love this app. It is so close to being great but unfortunately it is quite unstable, crashing every ten minutes or so under heavy usage (testing api endpoints from various major services). Additionally it is not possible to cmd-c copy from the results text view which is pretty aggrevating. Ill keep using Echo but hoping for an update that addresses these issues.
This seems like a great utility. I like the project and method organization. But, I really need a parameters grid rather than having to put the parameters of a GET as part of the connection details. Look at the way RESTed does it.
Nice update and this is a very useful app, especially for the price. It would be nice to have the option to see HTML rendered in the right hand panel -- currently the only way to do this is to export the results manually and then open them in your browser. Frustrating and slow. Overall, a good value for $4.
Ive tried several client apps for testing web services and this one is the most friendly, most adherent to "normal" UI behavior, and stable of the lot by far and Echo is now the only client I use. Something I would like to see is either a multiple line URI input text box or, in keeping with the header and body section design as the product stands today, a group of key/value text boxes that allow me to specify what parameters and values should be appended to the URI Ive entered.
This tool is so close to being great. I am unable to change the Content-Type header of every request I send and it defaults to application/x-www-form-urlencoded on every request. If that was fixed this would be a five start app.
Well done by Revolver! Out of the several REST clients I tried, this one did what I needed to when I needed to. I only have a couple of quibbles with the UI, which is probably to be expected since it’s written with a cross-platform UI library, rather than a Mac-native library. It almost, but doesn’t quite, feel Mac-like enough.
The app itself is not bad. I just needed OAuth feature so I contacted the developer. No response, though! Just want a refund but MAS doesn’t allow that.
I had trouble getting my request to work in competitors but it worked here and the interface is nice. I really like the grouping by project. That is really useful to me. What really is missing is the lack of an option to choose not to redirect. This is really crucial because I need to see the header of the response of the original request, and instead I get the response of the redirect. Alternatively, not having the option would be fine if I saw the responses from all redirects and the final. But this does me very little good without that option, as I’m missing cookies that are being passed back that I definitely need.
