Web to PDF 1.4.2
It's pretty straightforward and simplistic, but it does have the potential of becoming a really good app. It has some features, but it could use more especially for browsing and viewing created files. It works as compared to other similar applications, making it worth a try.
Simplistic and a bit dated design
It's always good for Android applications to come with a tutorial or at least some on screen instructions, to help users get an idea of what the app can do and the features that it has available. Web to PDF doesn't come with any instructions, which is quite inconvenient.
The interface seems dated, it doesn't use material design and there's no side menu. In fact, it doesn't have any settings or changes that you can do to the UI. In fact, it only has a few tools that you can use making this app quite limited.
Turn all sort of webpages into PDF files
The app launches directly with the home screen, featuring an address bar for websites on the top. It doesn't use Google or any kind of search engine, which means that you'll have to enter the whole URL in order to view pages. The back button only closes the app, it doesn't actually load your previously seen page. It has a refresh button, but that's about it.
The app doesn't come with any other features that would help users browse easier. Creating PDF files is easy, simply tap on the convert icon and type in the name of the file. You can't pick the destination folder, but you can browse through created PDF files in a separate section inside the app.
Some shortcomings
Unfortunately, the app doesn't come with a PDF viewer which is quite inconvenient. It means that you'll have to get another app just so you could view the documents you've created. It does arrange text nicely in pages, but it also copies banners and ads from the original webpage.
In fact, the app comes with banner ads and there's no option of removing them. After you've created webpages, you can share them online. It doesn't save the last pages you've visited and there's no way of bookmarking certain webpages, which is inconvenient. It would be nice if the app had more features that would make it easier to browse and find content.
