Ratings and Reviews
Scraping might work - but too much else doesn't
I bought this to try to scrape text from a secure site I'm a member of. So, first I have to log in. Grabber does a VERY poor job of displaying the website so first, it just took some work just to get to the login page. once there, the text display is so bad, it's hard to read what I'm typing in the login.
No problem, just pasted the password, right? Nope. It doesn't allow me to pasted into a field. So, I'll type very carefully, right? I tried a half dozen times (also trying in safari to ensure I'm not doing something wrong). Failed every time - while safari worked fine.
There's something seriously wrong with this software. It's a shame, because it's a solid idea - but the execution is not great.
No it doesn’t allow me to scrape a website
It’s just a web browser. There is no Save As or download functionality. Save your $4. To the programmer, if you actually let me save a website then I will be happy to update this review.
Not ready for prime time
If you're looking for an intuitive app, this isn't it.
