Description
Here's what the press is saying:
CNN: "This app allows users to save articles and videos for later. No biggie, right? Here's where it impresses: Spool will access this content later, even if you're offline."
Techcrunch: Spool works great for insatiable content consumers, commuters with spare time but spotty connectivity, and anyone who flies.
GigaOm: The application is a bit of a combination of Dropbox and Evernote, letting users store videos, articles, images and even PDFs in the cloud.
Why just read? Save web pages and video from your browser to your iPhone or iPad for offline enjoyment.
Spool handles video, image galleries, slide shows, PDFs, long articles, and blogs that you encounter and want to enjoy when you have time.
Spool does wonders where internet connections are spotty like on trains, planes, and automobiles (passengers only, please.) At a boring meeting? Spool loads up pages instantly from your device's local storage for discrete under the table reading. On a plane and don't want to spend $12 on WiFi? Spool up videos to make your long trip fly by.

Very good!

I'm blown by this app
Nearly perfect
This is probably the most useful app I have on my iPad. I download videos all the time for offline use. And it couldn't be more simple! My only qualm however is that some videos , for whatever reason, get jerk and unwatchable after being downloaded. Sometimes I'll go in and redownload the same video and it will be fine. Not sure what is happening here.
