Keep!

keep

Normally $0.99.

Keep! is your goto App for loading and saving web pages for offline reading on both iPhone and iPad devices.

Store and keep web pages important to you: news articles, instruction guides, job advertisements, or even food recipes. If its on a web page, Keep! will save it offline for you to read later, or share with friends.

Unlike other offline readers that rely on web services for generating pages (and the subscriptions needed for such services), Keep! generates and saves all pages local to your iOS device.

With a focus on duplicating the exact look and design of a given web page, Keep! utilises advanced methods to generate offline pages that replicate the original in the best way possible.

Keep! can process a given web page and store versions of it as PDF, HTML, and Text. There is also an option to retrieve a Mobilizer version of the required page too. Keep! can also save dynamic content pages which automatically expand as you view them.

With advanced features like Content Hiding, Browser Switching, Text Formatting and dynamic Link Replacement, Keep! gives you the options to access web content easily and anywhere.

There is even built-in functionality to scan web pages for related page links, and use the results to automatically download pages connected to the first.

Pages in Keep! can be archived and emailed to other users, or shared as PDF, HTML, and Text files with other devices. Dropbox support is also implemented for saving page & group archive files, which can then be imported from your Dropbox space.

A user guide to help you get the best out of Keep! is included inside the App.

Alternatively, visit the Facebook page using the link inside the App and request new features you’d like to see, or just let us know about how Keep! is helping you.

Drag the “Hide Messages” sticker several times over a message, if the message is big. And send another message afterwards (this will move the “sent”-notification to the bottom).
