Video of the app in action :

The queue feature worked wonders for multiple pages reading. But with time you would want to go back to Safari, atleast I did. The app wouldn’t replace all your browsing but some of it. The simplicity of safari does call you back. But the app is nonetheless impressive, do give it a try. The app costs $1.99 and you can buy it from iTunes Store Link.
