The Best Web-Source-View App
Veraxus
There are three apps on the app store (that I know of) that allow you to view web page source code. Web Source, View Source, and Source Viewer. Of the three, this app (Source Viewer) is the best by a slim margin. Web Source is free and functional, so for many that will win out - but its ugly and very bare bones. No colored code, no page view, no bookmarking. The other app View Source is really terrible. Its a buck, and contains NO FORMATING WHATSOEVER... Not even line breaks. This app has some advantages over those - the code is colored, improving readability by leaps and bounds. Word-wrap can be toggled. You can also single out CSS, JS, and links. However it's a little on the sluggish side (performance wise, using a last-gen 3G - 3GS will probably be decent) when scrolling around the code view... and theres no search feature or live page view. Of the three source code view apps, the is DEFINATELY the one to get. Consider coupling it with FTPOnTheGo for the ultimate iPhone web developer toolkit.
Copy & Paste?

Need the ability to copy & paste. The scrolling is horribly slow, and the tap-to-wordwrap is a little off. Pretty much just needs the controls redone, because otherwise it is a decent viewer.
Good bones but needs more work

I pretty much echo the previous comments. It needs better word wrap an a landscape mode.
Reverse engineer any web page.

I love this app. As a designer, this thing is invaluable. To be able to view the source HTML on my Touch is really handy. Great for inspiration and/or finding out "how do they do that." Great app. The three tabs are perfect. Easy, fast, and intuitive. I have no idea why a few peeps are knocking this app. Easily worth 6 bucks... At .99 cents it is a steal. I use it daily in the course of my design work. Would luv to see pro version with FTP and page editing features. Thanks.
Love The App

I have had this for a long time now and love it. It would be even better if there was a way to search for specific code in the source. Like lets say I want to find '<input type="text" name="thisText" />' but overall it is very nice. Great App.
Shows code as advertised, but not well

Horrible interface. Two fingers to scroll? No pinch to zoom? No find? And an ad to the iPad version at the bottom of the app which you cannot remove. I paid for this app, I don't want to see ads. Also it would be nice to change user agent for websites that auto redirect to a mobile site. I want to see the source for the website I said to go to, not the website it redirects to. And this are the problems I have found within the first minute of buying the app. I bought it to look at the source of one website while away from the office. But guess what, it auto forwarded to the mobile site so it was useless for the one and only reason I bought it.
