Web Offline

This tool is great. I actually am using it so we can take a web demo to a trade show, so i helped the web crawler out a bit by providing and index of all the files. <br/><br/>They just need to add a full screen browse mode for this to be awesome.

I was hoping to be able to display a website offline. Did the caching 4 levels deep. The application states it's 260mb big (the cache of that site) but when running it offline, the only thing it shows is a white page and selecting any URL will only show a white page. The moment I am connected I get the note that it will stream what is needed and then works (slow!). With other words, the application in its current state is impossible to use when wanting to present a website off line. <br/><br/>IF it will get fixed and will work, the star rating would quickly go up to 4.<br/><br/>I have not tried the other features as that is not what I was looking for.

Crashes when trying to recall the site you archive. Please improve.

I've tried Read It Later and Instapaper and this is far better than both. Images and all are cached to preserve the intended view of each page. The 'web crawler' feature that lets you save the website to its entirety if you so choose, or only part if you prefer, is great. Easy to navigate saved pages - heck, fun even. It's all straight forward. You don't need any registered account, you don't have to follow a list of chores to work the thing. Allowing more options for instance to exclude caching images for certain pages would be nice but even as it is this is far better than its current competitors- and cheaper!

I bought this app because I needed to view an online portfolio offline. It worked great. The interface is not very intuitive. On your first project it is a little confusing. A walk through or step by step would be helpful. <br/><br/>Basically you put in a URL, and the app does nothing. And then you have to edit it and hit the cache button and then it works great. <br/><br/>We grabbed a Wordpress portfolio and it downloaded 400 or so files Ina few minutes. It loads just like it would Ina browser. <br/><br/>Also when the snapshot is done being made the screen sort of hangs and you still have to hit cancel. It does not switch to finished. So that is sort of confusing. <br/><br/>Beyond those small gripes it is a great app. Just could use a little polishing.

I love that you can control depth, but it stays on the same site only. I use news portal sites that often show a bunch of headlines from around the web (for example: reddit). All the news articles that are linked are not crawled. There should be an option that lets the crawler leave the current site (at least to the first level).

This is how I like to use the iPod. No other offline app comes close to this. If I wanted to be picky, I would have reserved the fifth star for allowing URLs to be added to a snapshot instead of recording a new one for just one page. However, it can be forgiven with the full-text search. Thank you crafty/crew!

I just wanted to save a 20KB webpage for offline reading and I need a wifi connection. What a PITA. I don't even know if it works yet.
