My favourite feature about Charles proxy is that it is really easy to use and can be used to enforce proxy or throttle any network on any device including mobile phones, tablets or even TVs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Charles Proxy?

Though I've generally used Charles proxy on Mac OS, i find the same difficult and lesser user friendly on a windows computer. If this was improved, I'd totally love the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Charles Proxy is a Fantastic Piece of Software - When It Works"
2/5
What do you like best about Charles Proxy?

Charles Proxy captures all of my device's network requests and responses. I am able to effectively monitor and manipulate these requests to suit my needs in a relatively straightforward interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Charles Proxy?

Charles Proxy has the tendency to suddenly cease working for unknown reasons. Settings and preferences used just the day prior will block all requests the next day. I have had to initiate many fresh reinstalls of Charles due to this phenomenon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
