Offline Pages Pro Reviews

Pleased Customer

Have a Wi-Fi only iPad, was very skeptical whether this app would work after paying the $9.99 but it passed with flying colors. Great application, thanks.

You're supposed to be able to read blogs offline, but it doesn't actually save the article links very well. Frustrating. Crashes all the time now. Browser is slow and doesn't render some pages properly.

Buy it - NOW. Offline Pages actually works (unlike most offline browsers)

I don’t know if I’ve bought all the offline browsers out there, but I’ve tried everything I could find. Most of them are buggy and/or they lack features that are in the must-have category. Offline pages has it all and it just plain works. My search is over. Not only can you download, say, your favorite website and tell it to download however may links down you want (up to 4), but you can also tell it whether to stay within that domain or subdomain, how many links to download max (up to 1000), and loads of other details. You can even choose whether to download video content. How cool is that? Using Offline Pages, I can easily download my favorite Youtube videos to show folks when I’m stuck on a plane! And it does all this super-easy. No need to read a manual. My favorite feature is how it handles forums. Before jumping on an International flight, I used to go to my favorite forums and then manually load and save all the threads I wanted to read on the plane, using a different app. Now that I’ve got Offline Pages, that process is way easier. I can grab the whole forum or click on individual threads for downloading. But here’s the cool part: if you tell it to only download one link down, but the thread has, say, 20 pages, it’s smart enough to grab every page from that thread. The same goes if you want to download a single thread but that thread extends into other pages. It grabs all the pages to that thread, knowing that you wanted more than just the first page. And it does all that automatically. Another feature I love is the “Save Link to Inbox” feature, which you can bring up by clicking on any link while browsing. If you do that, it adds the link to your inbox (a folder in the app, where all your new downloads show up), for future downloading. If you’re hooked up to the internet, it will grab it right away. If you’re not, then it downloads it the next time you’ve opened the app while connected to the ‘net. This is very useful as I’ll be on a plane reading stored content offline and they’ll be some further info I want on some of the links. Using this feature, I can make one or two clicks and very easily set up those pages to be grabbed later. There are also tons of details that makes me think this software was designed by Apple’s design folks. For example, if you’ve copied a website from Safari or Chrome and you want to open it in Offline Pages to download so that you can have it offline, as soon as you open the app, it recognizes that you have a website in your clipboard and it asks if you’d like to download it. While not a huge time savor, it does save you from going to the address bar and then pasting it in. Is that feature really necessary? Nope. Is it evidence of a quality product? You bet. The browser built into the app is quite good. I catch myself using it now periodically instead of Chrome. Is it better? No. Is it almost as good? Yup. I bought the Pro version (this one), so I can’t say which features might be missing if you get the cheaper version. But trust me, this is worth every penny. And if you’ve been frustrated with other offline browsers, your search is over. Offline Pages ROCKS! If this review helped you, or even if it didn’t, please give me feedback. I normally don’t write lengthy reviews, but the nature of the product justified it here.

Needs some improvements

I really love this app, it is fantastic in saving pages, plus I can use it as an internet browser. But it lacks some features that a normal browser have, like the bookmarks thing, the main page for the app (browser), the favorites. Every time I need to access some pages that I need to browse only (not saving), I had to write the full url, which is frustrating, I really wish this app to have bookmarks beside the saved pages main feature, and url suggestions, like safari, which will ease our works. I really waited for this update to include this features but it doesn't, I really wish you to include them in next updates, thank you.

Works Well For Me

Offline pages works well for me. I sometimes have limited time to read all that I want to when I see a story or article of interest. It is then I will use this app to save the stories or articles for reading at a more convenient time.

Fantastic. Takes out all the guesswork.

At first I was confused about the settings then Andrei patiently explained to me how they should be set. When I still had problems with a particularly odd website Andrei created a site-specific tweak that automates the settings and enabled me to download the entire website of some 800 pages in 10 minutes. The customer service is great! And the app is also great. Could do with a more detailed user guide which Andrei said they are working on. Highly recommended.

Excellent app and amazing customer service

Not only is this app amazing but the customer service is unbelievable. I was having issues with a particular website I wanted to save and contacted Codium Labs for advice. They emailed me back within hours with a fix for the site. It worked perfectly! Helpful and human, YES!

AWESOME

I wanted to have my portfolio site offline in case I needed it in an interview without wifi, and didn’t want to have to spend time making PDFs of everything. I have a customized version of the Salient wordpress theme and this app was able to download all the styling and files on my site to have it work perfectly offline. Worth the money.

Good App, Great Support

The Elegant Mr Mos

I was very impressed by the promptness and professionalism of the developer, who helped me troubleshoot a difficulty I was having getting embedded music files to download properly. He not only gave me detailed directions, but actually tested them on the site that I was having trouble with. Thanks to this help, this app will be able to do exactly what I need it to do: display my organization's webpage for presentations at various events without having to worry about wifi. One star off for the design not being intuitive enough to troubleshoot myself.
