Pro: Easy setup. Con: The html5 video not work in IOS.(ipad) The html5 video control timing slide bar not works !!!

Quick and easy no frills HTTP server. If you just want to pull some stuff off you phone quick over WiFi, this works great.

W70%
by W####:

Very nice app, ad free, works! Deducting a star due to a couple of bugs, hope they can be fixed: 1. With digest authentication if I list a directory and click "last modified" to sort, it keeps asking for username and password and never succeeds. 2. Debug log level seems same as verbose, and shows very little. No authentication attempts and no errors if authentication fails are logged.

Does not mention in the description it is a demo and cut down version. For all features you need to by the pro. Maybe may not do what I need, and I can not find out unless I get the pro version...

I receive.. port 8080 is already bound... How to kill it... Kindly help me to start server

Works as expected. Requires pro to bind interface. Battery monitoring app reports it as using 100x more battery than other aps even when app is supposidly closed and no server is running

S70%

Works without hiccups. Would love an updated interface. Love that it supports version 3 and up

by S####:

Simple and effective, No non-nense and everything works out of the box. Hope that the selection for the Home directory is thru a file browser not text input, thank you for this wonderful app

If I try to redirect to this page from another site it gives some boundexception but with direct get it runs ok

Awesome app, works as expected, this is how all apps in the store should be made, no bull, just funcionality at it's best.

O70%
by O####:

Looks like it could be good. Unfortunately it modifies binary files, eg video, into text, so they are no use. apparently no setting to change this. Have not tested with images.

I have used this app for a few years and it did the job perfectly. A new phone without the menu button and now I can't access the settings. I'd give 5 stars if it's fixed. UPDATE A short time after I posted this the app was updated and the menu restored! I'm thrilled!

D70%
by D####:

Only says it's "serving from /storage/emulated/0." Device doesn't have that folder. Put an html file in kws folder and can't get to it from browser. No further instructions or notes provided. Do not recommend.

I cant go to the settings section cuz there is no button on the app to go there im using note 4

M70%
by M####:

Works 100% of the time. I, however, do not use KWS for a "web server", rather, I use it to host an intranet server.

Would love to give more stars as love the concept of a mobile server but I can't access the menu as there does not seem to be a menu button? Perhaps an alternative option to access the menu for phones without a hardware-based menu button would be nice.

No soft menu button so can't change any settings on phones without physical menu buttons. Looks like it would be good otherwise.

C70%
by C####:

Files bigger than 600MB cause the client to keep downloading even after reaching 100%. This corrupts the file. It seems like the server does not send Content-Length but rather just streams the file. Can you please fix this. Also, add HTTP 1.1 support. Thanks
