While this is one of my favorite lesser-known apps, one of very few apps that actually deserves to be on the App Store, I do find it quite disappointing that I MUST be connected to the internet if I want to view webpages as they were saved. I get it, when there are lots of saved sites, even on the iPhone 17PM performance is horrendous. That being said, it's up to the user to manage their saved items, so I appreciate that it can be unlimited and would be upset if it wasn't.

I appreciate that I can view a version of the sites without styling, but it's ridiculous that only the core page is downloaded without any internal or external css. This is a massive limitation of the app and because of it, I don't ever recommend this app to anyone. You're better off screenshotting websites in full screen and saving them to a common location.

History Book automatically saves your browsing history for searching later. By default, it only auto-saves pages that contain an article, so you don’...
