Bummer, I have not reviewed an app for awhile, mostly because I’ve been very busy with twittfilter (www.twittfilter.com) and there has not been anything new that really caught my attention.. Until I say ‘SaveMyDocs’
The idea is to use javascript to allow you to save a web page into a variety of formats that you can download. Seems like a pretty good idea. I can think of a few times I would like to save a page as hard copy for ready on Bart or other times I know I will not have web access.
Now the downside.. It did not work. The instructions are simple enough, create a bookmark starting with javascript. When you want to save a web page, simply click on the bookmark. Unfortunately, I get a ‘Cannot Open Page’ error from safari.
I’m going to play with this a bit more, quadruple check the address. Else, time to move on. Have anyone else tried this and got it to work?
To add the SaveMyDocs bookmarklet follow this steps:
- Open iPhone’s Safari and go to www.eduzapps.com
- Add it to the Bookmarks, name it SaveMyDocs
- Edit the bookmark you just have added
- Erase the beginning of the address, it must start with javascript:
- Done!
If you cannot see the video the bookmarklet complete address is: javascript:window.location.href=’saveme://’+window.location.href;
