View Source is an app plus an iOS 8 Safari extension that makes it easy to do one key web developer task: view the HTML, JavaScript and CSS source of any web page, with beautiful and customisable syntax highlighting.

As an app, you can enter a URL and immediately see the source code behind it. As an extension, its even easier: just browse the web in Safari as you normally would, and if you want to view the source for your current page just tap the Action icon and choose View Source. You can then either copy the text to your pasteboard for use in other apps, or send it as an email.

To enable the Safari extension on iOS 8, launch Safari, tap the action button on the toolbar, scroll right to the end, then tap More. Make sure View Source is enabled, then position it wherever you want it in the list of Safari actions, and tap Done.

This app is optimised for all iOS 8-compatible devices, including the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Pros and cons of View Source – HTML, JavaScript and CSS app for iPhone and iPad

View Source – HTML, JavaScript and CSS app good for

Please add function "Find in page" when viewing source page!!!

Had the same app idea - you were faster ;-) For the next version please add: - size to fit for source code (width) - search the source code for expressions - clickable links - pinch to zoom

The developer reacted quickly to my last feedback and improved everything Ive complained about. It now works as expected. Thanks!

The last update together with iOS 8 makes this app a must have for me!!! Take a quick look of the websites source code, triggered via native Safari? Sure, no problem. If you develop websites or just want to snoop the code of some sites, this is your app of choice.

A wonderful gadget to get information about the standard code behind what be can see in the browser window. In some cases this may be an important security feature. Thanks!

Hard to believe its a first generation app. Works great. Best/easiest way to... well... view source on iOS devices. Highly recommend.

Some bad moments

Good app, but crash when browsing the html source too quickly or maybe a long page, the search can be added into the top bar, and the search also crashed..

Its very unstable. Extension halting everytime without reason. There is no CSS view...

Would like to be able to zoom out and see more text at once with the extension

I didnt realize how much I wanted a view source option on iOS until I found this.

A simple but ingenious app that offers a rather useful extension for web developers using Safari on iOS. Recommended.

Doesnt reflow text to fit the window, which means lots of horizontal scrolling.
