"Used for API Testing, BE responses and FE request"
4/5
What do you like best about Charles Proxy?

It is easy to use, make mobile testing a better experience. API responses and request can be tested at the same time with Front End. I was happy I could test API just together with FE. It can be connected to iOS and Android.

You even have the chance to use it for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Charles Proxy?

it should be available in other languages. Also it is not possible to use for Android devices that work with Operational Software bellow 6. Maybe it is not possible the implementation and well not much people is using Android 5 anymore but it would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Charles Is A Keeper"
4/5
What do you like best about Charles Proxy?

Charles proxy was easy to install, and easy to use once I got the hang of it. I always used web based proxies, so this was a little different but once I got the settings right, all was smooth sailing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Charles Proxy?

Not much really. I dont have much experience with ACTUAL proxy software, all of my experience has been with a web based server, so I haven't noticed anything I dislike, because I have nothing to compare it to. . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Charles Proxy?

The only thing I "dislike" is the "shareware" aspect of it, with the nag screens etc. if you haven't bought it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
