What do you like best about Apache Weinre?

The Apache Weinre plugin was interesting because it was able to debug remotely. It was also convenient when the code of a mobile web page could be debugged directly on a device in the pre-PC era of mobile development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Weinre?

It seems that development is silent for a long time, software remains open for anyone to exploit, and there is no support to use the most trending web development frameworks and libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Weinre solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem of cross-browser debugging of Mobile Web sites was solved by Weinre that provided a solution for using the API without native code load. It was particularly useful for early mobile Web development as native options for dealing with code bugs were lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Weinre?

I know that many platforms have begun to include debugging tools as a rolled-up feature, but we have certainly continued to find value in this tool. Perhaps because the tool was designed specifically and exclusively for remote debugging (and not just an afterthought add-on), it's extremely effective. We're able to utilize it in a variety of remote circumstances, with phones, tablets, laptops, etc. The interface is relatively simple and easy to use. We're extremely satisfied with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Weinre?

I guess the major downside if this tool is a simple byproduct of its most significant strengths. As a standalone tool, integration with other tools is necessary, whereas the add-on options that I mention earlier are simpler in certain respects, requiring no such integration. In our case, we feel that the benefits and functionality of this tool easily outweigh the cons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Weinre:

Make sure you consider whether or not you need a standalone tool like Apache Weinre. For many, it may be overly robust, since many platforms have debugging features built-in these days. In our case, it's well worth having a more robust standalone tool. Again, I readily recommend this tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Weinre solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main issue that we're solving is that of bugs that our employees and users frequently suffer from. This tool allows us to resolve those bugs as soon as they arise, pushing out patches where needed, and otherwise diagnosing problems across all platforms, whether iOS or Android. The tool really is pretty nifty, and well worth it for our purposes. I'm extremely satisfied it, and would readily recommend it to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Weinre?

This tool allowed us to inspect and debug cross platform mobile apps written using the Cordova/PhoneGap framework easily and reliability, since it piggy-backed on the Chrome inspector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Weinre?

It has limited support for devices not on Android or iOS such as Windows Phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Weinre:

If you are making a mobile app on the Cordova/PhoneGap platforms, then look no further than Apache Weinre to help in speeding up development and turning around bugs quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Weinre solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems that we were trying to solve was trying to pinpoint where various bugs were occurring quickly and most efficiently and we came across Apache Weinre during a search and found it invaluable during development. It allowed us to turnaround bug reports quickly and it was easy for our developers to use since they were already familiar with the Inspector in the Google Chrome's browser.

What do you like best about Apache Weinre?

Weinre uses the Chromium web inspector, if your familiar with debugging web applications in Google Chrome you'll pick this up quickly. Debugging can be done over the network also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Weinre?

The web inspector is very out of date, in fact the project hasn't seen any development in over a year at the time of writing this (28th March 2016). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Weinre:

The product is dated and Chrome Mobile Web Inspector has since taken it's place providing a first-class web debugging environment. The only downside to this is that Chrome Mobile Web Inspector works over USB rather than over the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Weinre solving and how is that benefiting you?

We build responsive websites and web-applications as well as web view based mobile applications using Cordova. In the past weinre was the best DOM based debugging tool available allowing us to modify markup and CSS in real-time without having to rebuild the application.

What do you like best about Apache Weinre?

Easy to install, although it looks difficult at first glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Weinre?

Remote debugging of sites on mobile and tablets is getting a little easier, but still painful - this is not going to be a miracle software for you. Most modern tools are better; But if you want to debug older Android, for example, it’s still a good option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Weinre:

may not be good for newer devices but will work in a pinch on older ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Weinre solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to de-bug even older devises this could come in handy - so it is needed if you look at a range of age of devices like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
