Sitesucker App Reviews

Clearly there is a create folder button showinig up when I click edit but it’s always greyed out, wonder what’s the purpose of it then

Everyone knows that this is the best app of its kind because it's so easy to use and if you want to get technical, there's that part of the app, too. I have this app on my iPhone, iPad, and iMac for whatever reason.. (Why do I want to download websites so much?) I love the options and the limits I can set. There's a bunch more settings, too

App is very finicky and usually doesn't work.

I paid and downloaded Site Sucker 3.0 for my iPad — I’m facing 2 problems: 1. I’m downloading a large blog and it has downloaded quite a bit but come up with an Insufficient Memory error. Will subsequent downloads be incremental? Should I keep on downloading over and over? 2. When I put my iPad on Airplane mode I get an error Failed to Connect to website ... the Internet connection appears to be offline. Isn’t the purpose of Site Sucker enable one to download a website for offline use? Please advise on how to fix these issues.

I'm a developer myself and know that the comments are important. --would be nice to be able to browse the files downloaded and see the text in the HTMLs CSS js etc... I'm giving 3 stars for now, good work overall

This app is great. I have used the version for Mac, also, and it seems like the iPhone version works just as well. It works great for downloading reading (or listening!) material before traveling.

Yeah, this app is amazing. Got it on my Mac and it worked perfectly so I picked it up here too. It’s a very niche functionality, but hey, if you need an app that does this, this one does it perfectly. Well worth the $5.

Works great for storing whole site offline to read later. Easy to use and configurable.

This exactly what I was looking for! -deep scans -creates an error log -able to export .zip of downloaded offline files, can export them to just about any app. -able to browse offline on iPhone Thank you for such a great app with all these features!!

I am trying to download My website that I made via Squarespace through your app and it is not working. it keeps coming up with errors... it will only download a few images and then everything else becomes an error. Is there anything that I am doing wrong? Do I need to make my website “insecure”? Or does square space have a thing that blocks you from downloading the full site? Your contact is not working so posting this here

This will make my digital portfolio showcase for interviews look phenomenal on my iPad! So awesome! Can't wait to use it in action on Monday!!

So you want to get everything from a site, right? Well this looks like it is doing it , BUT... It then assumes that all sites have a single starting point... WRONG! You end up being unable to view the results. Good idea, but Poor execution!

I bought 3 weg downloader apps at the same time and directed them to an engineering site. The first 2 only dowloaded the first page: I had to stop this app after it downloaded over 100 linked pages. So this definitely works. The problem is that you have to walk sequentially thru pages to get to a desired page: they are not separately indexed so that you can quickly see what was downloaded and then proceed directly to a page of interest. Hopefully the app will gain more versatility with time. In the meantime it's a very useful tool.

I downloaded 15,000 PDF files in one big swoop. I do wish that you could easily delete pages that I will never use. But I am happy

I cannot view the saved pages in app or anywhere else. Very cryptic little app. Wasted money

Recursively pulls down a site for viewing offline. I wanted to read the entirety of a wordpress site including comments, and this worked really well. Thanks!

I asked a question about my needs and this apps suitability and Rich got back to me with significant help. Even though this app is small, it has tremendous functionality. Thank you for the support Rick.

This is the kind of app that would get removed from the AppStore and you’d regret not purchasing. I fully support this developer and his project. There are literally so many things you can do with the resources this app provide. I don’t know where to begin. Best Httrak alternative there is. Thank you!!

It worked okay and downloaded the website fast but only the index. None of the secondary pages downloaded or worked so the app was basically useless. The desktop one works great and is free this one was 2 bucks and didn't work. Thanks sitesucker.

It would correctly download web pages from the simple sites, and would work reasonably well with the larger web sites (don't expect perfection there - most web downloaders can't do perfect job even on the desktop). However, if your site contains PDF documents, you wouldn't be able to view them. That is significant downside and is the problem developer should address.

OK, I read all of the reviews and sure there may be issues but this is the most complete website scraper, crawler, dumper, saver, sucker that is out there. It has regular expression support so you can control exactly what is and is not downloaded. I dumped a very complex site of over 2000 files in under 20 minutes which rivals my desktop crawler. The interface is minimalist but it got the job done and the saved site navigates exactly as I would expect. I would love to see support for tracing links in JavaScript and support for the standard .zip format for transferring saved websites between the iPad and the PC or Mac. Also, the author should use more "crawler" keywords in his app description and website since this app was almost impossible to find. Give it a try!

I needed a complete online manual for offline training. I entered the first page of the site and the progam did a beautiful job of downloading every page and level. I will buy the OSX version next.

After sucking down a 192mb site I can view it...in app. Besides that I cannot export the files, zip it, or do anything else with it... Attempting to hit the export button just deletes the file from the list. What am I supposed to do to properly export this data? As of now it seems I just wasted my money on this.

I purchased this app for my iPad and found that it does not completely download a functional web site as advertised. Repeatedly I have sent messages to the developer for some assistance without any response. If you are going to sell an app, answer you customers.

I'm leading a tour in an area that has no Internet access and need to have the material available on a related website during the tour. The website has many layers with maps and figures as well as text and images. This ap captured the entire website retaining the original organization. All the tabs work just like they do on the website; it's just as if I was connected to the site on the Internet but it's stored on my iPad. The capture was completely automated and consisted of several thousand files covering a couple of hundred pages. It's just what I needed. Great ap!

This app is really amazing. I got it so I could cache a website for an upcoming international trip. It has so many useful settings, a great design, and above all- it works flawlessly. The developer's website has a thorough guide for configuration and advanced settings if you need it. Can't recommend it enough.

No iphone5 support. hasn't been updated since 2011. i learned the hard way. It has potential to be a good app.
