The latest upgrade of June 2020 killed this formerly unique app. Well I understand ads are part of a free app the ads are now 24 seven and never stop. But the worst part of that is it actually destroys the functionality of the app. Because now all the downloads stop & when you open them they completed, but partially. And guess what? The completed download of your movie - INCLUDES THE AD! The ad that just interrupted your download actually becomes part of the downloaded movie! which is incomplete but still opens as a shortened version. So if you we’re downloading a two hour movie, your download will complete as a 5 minute movie, and that 5 minute movie contains the 1 minute of the malicious ad + 4 minutes of the 2 hour movie. Usually uncompleted downloads turn into errors but here, it allows a partial download & that download contains a movie of the malicious ad! Terrible - there are other free apps that don’t do this.

I was using TDownloader to download my videos but I find this one better created and give you more details on the download like the speed or the file size. Also the plus is in the other one to export the videos to the gallery we need to pay the pro version, in this app they do it for free. I’m 😍

I’m so glad this app was resurrected. But there is a lot to take in and a tutorial would have helped. I finally figured out how to download a video. Unlike the old version that popped up the option when you tried to watch a video, there is no pop up. Instead you have to tap and hold on the video that you want before you even try to play it. Then a box will pop up with download as one of the options. So I did find a major bug. Just like before you can lock up and pass word protect some files. But and it’s a big but if you search with the “advance search” you will get files that are suppose to be protected. And you can play them from the search results box. Not exactly what I had in mind when I wanted to hide some files.
