Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/18/2023 "Review for thunder client" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Thunder Client? I have used thunder client as an extension in vscode, and it was such a beautiful extension. It is very easy to use as a beginner. It had all the things that I wanted to use. I could save my variables and also keep all my API requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Thunder Client? Few things that I found difficult in thunder client was to share my request with my team. I found collaboration a little bit difficult. Also creating new request or opening previously saved request was a bit confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Thunder Client solving and how is that benefiting you? Since I was able to use it as an extension, it became more encouraging to test my API's directly from vscode and save them for future testing. This increased testing of all the API's created very easily without switching out of vscode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
