webStore comes as a commercial utility with a trial version - it's not expensive to buy and it's probably just as well, since the UI resembles something knocked up as 'proof of concept'. It's also notable that webStore comes with a number of 'reference' sites set-up and ready to go/download, showing the way to how the application might be used in the real world.
From the Store description:
webStore lets you download chunks of the internet and carry them around on your phone so that you will be able to browse them later even when you don't have a data connection. Just give the app a starting URL and it will crawl through all the linked pages, pulling down content. You can specify whether to download images and the depth of links to follow. Use inclusion and exclusion strings to specify exactly which pages you want to get. If you like, you can set a number of days after which the download will expire so that the next time you run the app you can download all expired sets automatically.
Use webStore for news sites, reference sites, blogs, whatever you like! The app comes with examples to download the whole periodic table with articles on every element or to download the latest main articles from the BBC news site. If you want to be a geek, you can get the specifications for each download by email and then tweak and edit them on your PC before copying them back into the app.
The interface is immediately problematic, or at least will be for modern users. Selecting a site or data-set means tapping to highlight it and then tapping 'Select' at the bottom of the screen - no, you can't tap the highlighted item again. For someone like myself, steeped in 1990's UIs, this isn't a showstopper ("how quaint") but it'll be unusable to anyone rather younger!
The interface from hell? Well, not quite, but it's certainly from a decade or two ago...! Here setting up my own site for download...
One of the example sites/data-sets - this is ultra plain but does work, for this static and fairly small reference site. Note the + and - controls to zoom in and out, though multi-touch is also implemented, which seems a little confusing....
Ditto, this pre-set-up periodic table mini-site, though even here the cracks start to show, with images that failed to download...
As each site downloads, the URLs flash away - there's no way to leave such an operation going in the background, either; (right) a typical error when trying to go beyond the bounds of the download....
Interestingly, even on my own fairly small web site (in the grand scheme of things), not even all the main area pages were grabbed, calling into question the order in which pages are crawled.
The trial version gives you 50 downloads, which should last you for a few weeks, which seems about right, though I'm not sure most peoples' patience would last that long.
Comments welcome, do you think you could/would use this? It's in the Windows Phone Store here.
