Proxie App Reviews

The only thing I really wish it did was enable proxying in network settings when the app launches (or when proxying is enabled inside the app), and then put the proxy settings back to their original values when the app closes (or proxying is disabled inside the app).

Works well. I was able to view SSL requests.

Cheap, good UI and simple. I love it

The UI is beautiful, modern, and clean. It needs pretty printing of JSON requests. Trying to decipher a big blob of minified text is painful. The other app I used does that, and while being a far worse app, this one feature made it worthwhile.

I bought this one since CharlesProxy costs $50 and this $7. But it sweats on HTTPS connection and not consistent!

I first got a bit nervous till I found the “Trust Cellis CA on this Mac” option under Help menu. You should make this somehow a bit more obvious and explain somewhere (on web site, for example) how to grab this certificate and install it onto iOS Simulator, for example… Far not everybody knows how to do it. I loved app’s simplisity and slick design. I tried various apps (Charles, Burp) - those are pretty hard to use for majority of cases, while Cellist does everything that most developers will ever need: filtering and request/response visualization in various formats (JSON, Web, Imagery). What I found extremely useful was ability to drag’n’drop response as a file! I would yet ask for XML visualization - it would be pretty handy either. A few small feature requests - * JSON “Expand/Collapse all” button * ability to sort in a way that most recent requests stay on top (vs being added into the end of the list) * request timestamps would be usefull to see somewhere. * when your app posts ton of requests - additional highlighting mechanism would be a really cool feature, that would allow to mark similar requests (by full URL, for example) with some color. * ability to change background color for image viewer Thanks for the great app!

tl;dr... Simply the best I have found. The developer of this application has refined and refined and refined until he has literally produced the essential http debugging app for OSX. Easily on par with fiddler2 for windows, this is my goto application when I need to inspect and debug http traffic. I had a couple of feature suggestions and the developer, Chi Wang, took them and ran with them. I am thrilled that the app does everything that I need and does it extremely well.

I bought this app to sniff http/https traffic on my development machine. I choose this because I thought it would be easy to set up and I will get result in 5 min. The product does not perform as I expected. I followed the instruction to set up the proxy setting, this was easy. However it could not capture traffic from my tomcat server which is running on my localhost. When my code running on the tomcat server make http traffic, it did NOT capture any traffic here. Cellist manages to capture trafic from my browser when I go to sites like goolge and yahoo, but I am not interested in this traffic. However when I generate traffic to my localhost tomcat server like https://localhost:8443/myapp it could NOT capture this traffic. The documentation is very lacking and does not have any troubleshooting tips or guide to help with this regard what so ever. I would give NEGATIVE star if I can because: 1. It does not perform as advertise 2. Lacking in documentation and support.

Works like a charm, I was up and running, inspecting HTTP and HTTPS traffic on both OS X and from my iPad within ten minutes. Well worth the money compared to the alternatives.

This app works great, people who don’t undestand how to setup a proxy on thier iOS device just post dumb reviews. As for WireShark it does not allow capture of iOS data if your router does not support frame capture (most new ac routers on non a/b/g bands). With a proxy solution this is not a issue. So this app takes a bit of setup if you use DHCP for your mac (so set it to static ip for your Mac to help). Only drawback is it does not show XML nicley in the results data, please add that. Very helpful if doing SOAP based calls. Thanks for the great app.

The app doesnt work and there’s no app support available. I want my money back! Block the seller please.

Can’t beat it for the price.

This is a bit primitive but it does what it says on the tin. Easy to setup proxy.
