iSource Browser is a source-aware web browser for the iPhone & iPad. It is a fully functional web browser with the following additional features:

- HTML source view

- WHOIS lookup

- DIG lookup

- HOST lookup

- HTTP Headers - all request and response headers with status codes

- Javascript debug console - inspection and debugging of WebView controls

- Full integration with Email, SMS, Twitter, Hipchat, Wunderlist, Asana, Fancy, and more!

As with any web browser, you can surf to any site on the web as you would in Safari, with the added bonus of transparency. With a tap of the screen you can view a page's HTML source, it's HTTP request and response headers, DiG & host information, as well as information detailing who owns and administers the site (whois).

However, iSource's most powerful function is the new Javascript debugging console, where you can inspect console messages, query the DOM, and more! Best of all, it's free.

iSource Browser is a must-have for any IT professional!

To install apps directly onto this device, it must be jailbroken with AppSync installed.

It works sometime but if you start having some problems all you have to do is restart your iTouch, iPhone, or iPad and the performance should improve alot

Does not load all websites

Could not load internal websites that safari has no issue with. Attempting to type in a URL it tries to autocorrect and add spaces, which Safari does not do. The source overlay is a semi-transparent layer over the webpage, so you can still see the webpage, so it's very hard to read. Increasing font size would be nice, zoom doesn't work on that layer. Glad this didn't cost me money, if it did I'd want it back.

I wound up with Duck Duck Go.

Very nice and helpful

This is a great app if you wanna see the code of sites on your iPad. Very simple and easy to use. I recommend to anyone interested in web design.

Nice for quick source viewing

I only installed this because of the source view feature, which is great in my opinion. Now it needs inline editing :) I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. At least give it a chance.

Awesome!

Everything I needed to debug sites on the go, plus it promotes DuckDuckGo usage!

Nice!

I have to agree with a previous review. I'm surprised this doesn't have a lot more positive ratings/reviews. It's really handy for viewing/debugging html and javascript on IOS, and even works for testing JQuery.

Very helpful but breaks

I find this app useful as a last resort to view my console because I can’t select text with the app crashing
