### 1/5 — Wore out

*2024-07-28, version 3.2.4*

Too many intrusive advertisements.

### 1/5 — Installed, read other reviews too late! Deleted, too late

*2022-08-08, version 3.2.4*

Lesson here. Always read reviews, then decide. Dont do what I did unless you have nothing to lose, Like have a firewalled secured drive. But, not a useful app to me. In reading the reviews by time, looks like the good Developers left the company, or maybe all of them. Just check out the time line AND All the damage caused by new updates after certain date -come back original guys 
Vjay are you still there? 
and tell us what happened.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2020-12-14, version 3.2.4*

They have yet to responded to the loyal fans who made them poplar.

### 1/5 — The Worst

*2020-03-30, version 3.2.4*

Lost every letter every pixel ever saved. Utter trash that has hurt a lot of people.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2019-02-15*

Can’t open pages offline

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-07-29, version 3.2.4*

Saves links only. 

Does not work offline.

### 1/5 — Crapware

*2017-12-20, version 3.2.4*

This app works like something that is only in the testing phase. It certainly has promise but in its current form is simply crap. Pages disappear and things jus don't work as expected. The developer needs to get some help from more experienced app developers to learn what a finished app 'looks like'. How this has been able to sneak through Apple's quality assurance process is more a reflection on Apple than the developer.

### 1/5 — Do not Download

*2017-10-24, version 3.2.4*

When i have done saving 25 important pages and tried to open them for viewing they appear as a white page i lost my time and effort

### 3/5 — Problem with viewing of saved page

*2017-10-15*

I am not able to see the saved view of the pages. Whenever I click on it, it is always blank!

### 1/5 — Total waste.

*2017-01-25, version 3.2.4*

Would not download anything.
