Description
From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.
Save Pages Offline is an Android app for saving full webpages for offline reading, with lots of features and options.
Save Pages Offline is useful for reading the latest articles of your favorite online newspaper in the subway or on flight, having tourist information at hand right away while you are on vacation, saving recipes for later, or troubleshooting articles from your favorite tech blog that you can use for work.
Save Pages Offline can also be used to reduce your mobile data usage and save money by saving web pages when you are connected to WiFi and reading them offline, without using your mobile data.
Save Pages Offline is the only app that works on all sites with authentication (like Facebook and Twitter) thus allowing you to save articles from subscription based web sites (like the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal) - just login to the web site in the app before downloading!
Unlike Pocket and alike, this app lets you save a web page and all outgoing links from it, optionally several levels deep!
Features:
1.Saves real HTML files which can be opened in other apps / devices
2.Download & save entire web pages with all assets for offline reading & viewing
3.Save HTML files in a custom directory
4.Save in the background, no need to wait for it to finish saving
5.Night mode, with both a dark theme, and can invert colors when viewing pages (White becomes black and vice-versa).
6.User agent change, allows to save either desktop or mobile version of pages
7.Nice UI for both phones and tablets, with various choices for layout and appearance.
Known bugs:
1.(Device / Android version specific) Thumbnails of saved pages don't show up in the list - this can't be fixed, as it's a bug / limitation in the underlying Android WebView component.
2.Sometimes does not save stylesheets or other assets - the only problematic site I know of is Wikipedia, where stylesheets (CSS) don't get saved properly, but is otherwise OK - Still trying to figure out why.
3.Occasionally fails when it encounters a redirect - also trying to figure out why.
5.If there are multiple image or asset references on the page pointing to the same URL, but that URL delivers a something different each time, only the first version of the asset will be saved. Maybe this is also the cause of the Wikipedia issue. - Can't really figure out a good way to fix this.
6.Other, occasional, random crashes.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 975ef09621c17493b2b12c5f61cb621b.
