SiteSucker App Reviews

I was messing around with httrack for 15-20 minutes, and finally gave in and bought this app. Ahhh. Money well spent. Now I can just go to bed. Do yourself a favor...

I wanted to archive my sons website, so he could look back on it when he’s old and gray. My initial search pointed me toward HTTRACK, so I downloaded it on my PC. It did its thing for 1/2 a day and I still counldnt tell if it worked. I later searched for a Mac solution and found this one. The reviews looked good, so I gave it a try. SiteSucker downloaded the entire site in about 5 minutes and it works great! I just need to click on “index.html” and Safari opens along with the entire site. Great archive tool for personal websites.

I’ve tried numerous tools and this is the first one that just works. It is simple and straightforward. It grabs the site, puts it in one folder, localized so you can access it while you are offline. All at a very fair price.

This would have been helpful for me to know prior to spending the money. I read the description and feedback prior to purchasing the app. Surely I’m not alone in benefiting from this information being available on the site. My loss. I hope this helps someone else. - E

I wanted to save a family history website, not knowing how long it would remain online. This tool worked perfectly for the job. It’s worth every penny!

Really great, does what it promises.

I had a portfolio website that had some pretty tricky template code in it that really made it difficult to download the website for offline viewing. At first I could not get the app to work correctly, but the Customer Service team of Site Sucker stepped in and got the job done for me! I was extremly impressed. This app and its customer service is worth every penny! Thanks guys!

This app is so useful, especially for a web developer or designer. Its free so you might as well give it a try - it will not be a waste of your time.

I first bought this 5+ years ago. It does exactly what I need. Saves an entire website.

I use this to download whole websites (usually course websites with many links to external hosts). The settings are easy to manage, yet you have a lot of options in order to minimize unnecessary donwloads, getting banned, etc. Works better than “httrack” which has a horrible interface (on Linux, anyway). $5 is cheap. Update for March 2015: Developer keeps posting updates that improve the app.

Works great, is customizable, and very user friendly. Does what its supposed to do, and does it well :)

!. Tired of downloading pages and having to rewrite code. 2. I did some searching around the web and found this tool. 3. Downloaded and started using. 4. It worked perfectly and was super fast. Simple and does 100% exactly what it says. Thanks for this!

It does what it says but it can’t pick up a session from safari to be able to download the contents of a site that requires authentication. I searched the restrictions listed on the website and this did not come up - so, in short, doesn’t work for sites where you need to log in. If what you’re doing is just an one-off then Google “curl” or “wget"

I have had this application for years and used it off and on for various projects. I recently did a complete refresh and realized I lost this app. Very happy to find it again, and don’t have any problem giving $5 to have it back. Thanks for keeping it available!

How rare that something works how it should. Good work. Thank you.

I tried a few free alternatives (which I won’t name here) and they were “just OK”. This one worked really well right off the bat. The site I tried it on was pretty basic, but I was still very impressed. Worth the money.

I don’t use this app often, but when I do, it’s awesome. Really, not much more to say!

I am learning how to build websites, and with my learning style, I love this tool. If you are learning how build websites, html, javascript, etc., and are over the basics, this tool is perfect for scraping a site and learning advanced techniques by studying other’s design. I am a tightwad and this was worth every single cent I spent on it. It has options to honor / not honor bot requests on sites which I love. Some sites have a 3 second delay request, so I can set it up and go to work, a day later I have a full site I can study and learn from.

Ive been using this software (occasionally) for about 5-10 years. I last bought it in 2011 (it doesnt break easily). Its simple and it works. I have not pushed the limits, so I cant tell you about that. But it has two settings that are especially *important* : 1) How many simultaneous download threads to run and 2) time delays between downloads. Some sites will shut you off if they detect >1 downloads simultaneously from your location (IP, i assume). So I have it set at 1. Second, some sites will shut you down if they see rapid fire downloads, since a human cant be doing that obviously. So put in a long-ish delay and let er rip. Its also a bit more polite to the site your are downloading from to reduce the peak bandwidth youre requesting.

I always come back to give this app 5 stars! It does exactly what it says. I do not know any other tool that does this. Thank you developer! Every update I come back.
