I like how it will save it as one compressed file and I can also use it to send to other people that don’t have Firefox, but they have an Internet, explorer. When I use this app on my iPhone, it saves the webpages in the extension, location, downloads, and after a few weeks all of the web pages that I saved disappear. Is there anyway that they say pages could be moved to another location to the main Downloads folder on the homepage of the iPhone? ### 4/5 — Misses a lot of pictures *2025-08-18, version 1.22.81* It's excellent but misses a lot of pictures, especially on newspaper websites. E.g. The Telegraph. I expect the issue will be resolved soon with an update, but for now I iOS's built-in method to save Safari pages as PDFs is proving better for me. ### 5/5 — JUST DOWNLOAD IT *2025-02-07* SIMPle and free ### 5/5 — Works with Hide Distracting Items! *2024-12-20* I discovered today that if you go through the page and use ios 18 Safari's "hide distracting items" feature to get rid of all the ad blocks, autoplaying videos, etc, SingleFile will produce an html file that is also bereft of those items! Great for permanent archiving of news articles. ### 5/5 — Love it!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2024-11-22* With an embarrassing number of apps purchased and tried…at the end of the day I probably use 6-10 apps regularly. ⇨ THIS IS ONE OF THEM! ⇦ ☆★☆★☆★ DISCLAIMER: Reviewer has an app downloading and hoarding problem. Very picky & probably ‘App Snob-ish’. On the plus side, when I find one I actually like and use, it makes for an honest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from an app-experienced reviewer. ### 3/5 — Causes Safari to Freeze *2024-11-01* I use single file in both FireFox and Safari. The Safari version functions slowly when I click “Deny” and has caused Safari to freeze and twice has cause my M1 MacBook Air (16 gb memory and 1 tb storage) to freeze entirely. I hope you will fix this problem. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Thanks for the update *2024-09-02* Had an issule saving file to webdav, latest update got it working **Developer response:** Thanks also for your feedback! ### 5/5 — Slick little utility - perfect for Apple Notes *2024-08-19, version 1.22.59* Looked for a replacement for Evernote Webclipper that would work for Apple Notes - found a blog that pointed to this and it works well. Would love to see some nicer screen selection options like the Evernote Clipper has, but this is a great option. Thanks to the dev for the great work. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2024-07-25* This extension is so easy to use, it works every time, and honestly it’s brilliant. ### 5/5 — Extremely useful *2024-02-21, version 1.2.0* Creates a standalone HTML page of what you're viewing. Very handy for offline usage and keeping a record. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So Many Positive Reviews one might Take Them Seriously. *2026-01-15* useless unable to break through "project covet" and access files partitioned under that operation. ### 1/5 — Help *2025-09-02* Not my account ### 1/5 — Not Working *2025-02-18, version 1.22.77* Upon installation, it requires to turn SingleFile on in settings. But how?! There is not even any explanations about houw it can be set up and used. ### 1/5 — 👎 *2024-12-17, version 1.22.77* لا يعمل ### 1/5 — 👎 *2024-12-15* There is an error written. The requested link does not exist, but the page has been loaded and does not work ### 2/5 — Devs, still around? *2026-06-24* Did this app get abandoned? :( **Developer response:** No, it's not abandoned at all. Thank you for the review, I guess. ### 3/5 — Causes Safari to Freeze *2025-05-30, version 1.22.81* May 30, 2025: SingleFile Extension repeatedly causes freezes. I use SingleFile daily and find that it causes problems while using Safari, my main browser. Using SingleFile with FireFox causes no such problems. With FireFox, SingleFile works smoothly. I use single file in both FireFox and Safari. The Safari version functions slowly when I click “Deny” and has caused Safari to freeze and twice has cause my M1 MacBook Air (16 gb memory and 1 tb stbrage) to freeze entirely. I hope you will fix this problem. Thank you. Update 12/4/2024: The problem still exists and remains a distinct annoyance. I hope you will fix this problem imminetly. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Very good but… *2025-03-06* Improve the application icon please！ 1. iOS system icon need dark mode！ 2. macOS system icon need rounded rectangle！ thank you！I love this application！ **Developer response:** The macOS icon is fixed in the last version. The next version will add the missing dark and tinted icons. ### 3/5 — Very good but… *2025-02-20* Improve the application icon please to fit the macOS system! ### 3/5 — Causes Safari to Freeze *2024-12-04* I use single file in both FireFox and Safari. The Safari version functions slowly when I click “Deny” and has caused Safari to freeze and twice has cause my M1 MacBook Air (16 gb memory and 1 tb storage) to freeze entirely. I hope you will fix this problem. Thank you. Update 12/4/2024: The problem still exists and remains a distinct annoyance. I hope you will fix this problem imminetly. Thank you. **Developer response:** I'm sorry but I can't reproduce your issue (macOS 15.1.1, Safari 18.1.1) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent plug-in! *2026-08-30* I have been using this extension in Firefox for over a year, and was shocked to see it in the App Store. It is extremely useful, especially when paired with an API call to something like Readeck or Linkwarden for archival. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-07-27* I usually report to PDFs when saving webpages but it’s clunky. The single file html output is faithful to the page and grabs all the elements. ### 5/5 — المحزم القنا النجم. *2026-05-22, version 1.22.98* التڤعيل السرعة ### 5/5 — Perfect! But needs a fix *2025-12-17* Now the only option to save the file is to drag-n-drop from Safari drop-down download list to folder that is opened in Files App ### 5/5 — Evidently good *2025-11-21, version 1.22.88* This does a perfect job of saving sites as a small HTML file. Great for saving evidence of important transactions, saving pages that might change or disappear soon… I love it. ### 5/5 — From (◑‿◐) to (◐‿◑) *2025-10-23, version 1.22.81* ¯_(ツ)_/¯Y²+c?🐟 ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-09-18* Simple, useful, effective, free. Need I say more? ### 5/5 — Downloads dont show up in files app on iPhone after updating to iOS 18.5 *2025-08-26* It used to automatically go there. Now it “downloads” but goes nowhere. It’s in the download list on Safari but the file is nowhere else. I actually thinks it’s an iOS bug. But there may be something you need to do. ### 5/5 — Great extension *2025-07-12* I needed to save down a series of webpages that included formatting and images. This extension was perfect. Super easy and fast, and the results were a single HTML file that could be opened easily in any browser. I was able to easily customize what I wanted the name of each file to be, and I just loaded the webpage, clicked the extension button, and the single file would download to my Downloads folder. Thank you so much for making this! ### 5/5 — Very nice *2025-06-22, version 1.22.81* Haven't used it much, but I've been trying it out a bit for a friend and seems to be working decently, thanks :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
