How do we get this back? It’s such a useful feature! Restore this feature and you’ll get 5*! ### 2/5 — Nope *2021-05-06, version 6.7* Unfriendly app. Needs a lot of work. ### 3/5 — Cannot sort contents *2020-08-29, version 6.7* Why not have a list view? 🧐 ### 2/5 — Older version was better if you had a lot of files... *2020-03-19, version 6.7* I have / had a bunch of files loaded on my iPad, various shows in folders, various movies, tutorials of different kinds. The folders allowed me to easily see what I had and where it was. It WAS great, I would have given 5 stars, even response to questions. The new version did away with the folders, so now I have well over 100 files all in one spot. I just downloaded two other programs that have folders to see how well they work. ### 3/5 — Not working correct iOS 13 *2019-12-21, version 6.7* Not working ios13 notes between file to file all blend together. When the share button is tapped all bookmarks disappear and apps shutdown. If I cld backup my bookmarks and have separated bookmarks that would make this 5stars ### 3/5 — Love you Guys! *2019-11-13, version 6.7* Load your video’s and go !!! Hands down,The best video downloader!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Still Buggy *2019-10-22, version 6.7* Although the old version occasionally crashed, its functionality all worked and was still great. The new updated version crashes minus all the old functionalities. Converting an mp4 file to mp3 immediately crash. With that said, thank you for your hard work and addressing the issues. ### 3/5 — Great App now just Good *2019-10-12, version 6.6* I updated this on one of the two IPADs i own. I create a lot of content for my wife’s Event Planning business. I normally put it up before the end of the evening on the customers home TV with my Apple TV. The new update removed the “Native TV player pluggin” from the App. Now i cannot show my Videos from that IPAD. I will not update the other IPAD until this is corrected. I humbly request you do this soonest. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Can’t download from 02tvseries.com *2019-10-11, version 6.6* I use Azul only to download from 02tvseries.com. It now shows format not supported. I might as well delete it ### 2/5 — Having issues with my app downloading on YouTube *2019-09-22, version 6.5* Having problems downloading anything on YouTube ### 1/5 — Azul *2019-09-04, version 6.5* I just downloaded this app. It won’t even stay open fo load a video. I got screwed again! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NOT ABLE TO USE FILES ALREADY ON MY IPAD PRO *2024-04-30, version 6.7* i have tried everything, i got this to play wmv files i have on my ipad pro, but i am not able to. I AM NOT ABLE TO EVEN DOWNLOAD TO THIS APP FROM I CLOUD. ### 1/5 — Once great now just rubbish *2021-12-27, version 6.7* Years ago when Azul first was launched as a free app it was fantastic worked perfect then what the hell went wrong ? What was once free became something we had to buy to continue using for downloading but would it work no ... I’ve had problem after problem surly an app like this should be downloaded and work perfect straight away but no ... I’ve bought and re-bought Azul perhaps if I was a computer nerd I could work it out but I’m not. Don’t wast your money or time last time I buy another updated version with out the wisdom of a genius ### 1/5 — Not worth it. *2021-11-18, version 6.7* I upgraded to this version because my Older version from 2014 kept freezing. I am on a new IPad Pro 10.5 . I was using a IPad 6 th generation. Was lost at the airport. I can still download my older version. This version will not stream from my IMac via airplay to my Roku Ultra. On,y the soundtrack shows on the Tv screen. It also will not let airplay stream from websites even though the connection to airplay is made. Glad it is an inexpensive app. The old version worked well for along time. ### 1/5 — Last UPDATE 2021 - 2 *2021-09-24, version 6.7* Worst APP ever. Guys DO NOT BUY this SCAM. Totally useless. Worst of the worst. Does not do anything that it FALSLY claim . ### 1/5 — GREAT app but folder option was removed *2021-06-23, version 6.7* It was a GREAT app but the folder option was removed making it impossible to organize a video library by folder. It also appears that the developer is no longer maintaining the app as no new updates have occurred in quite awhile. I would really like to see some improvements to it soon. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2020-11-22, version 6.7* DO NOT BUY THIS. It’s a copy of VLC. Both are super buggy. Can’t even wat h a video for 5 mins without errors. Wasted $3 on this ### 1/5 — Don’t like the new layout. Missing all me older features *2020-03-15, version 6.7* I had some videos in folders so I know what is what. Not it dumped everything in 1 view with previews. Is there a way to change that back? It’s impossible to find what is what since I had folders with the files name0 1 2 3 3. And also in others and now I se 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 Not very helpful ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THIS! *2019-12-27, version 6.7* So it’s really easy to download but one thing when I only download four songs and then another one the fourth song I downloaded was switched with the other song I was going to download and it bothers me a lot! ### 1/5 — Azul *2019-10-23, version 6.7* Does not work for downloading video on latest iOS version on my iPad ### 1/5 — New format useless *2019-10-19, version 6.6* I used to use this to download from various servers. New format, no idea now how to do it and no help. Useless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good for older hardware *2024-05-27, version 6.7* This seems to work well with my 9 year old iPad Mini 2 ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2021-07-14, version 6.7* I have used this app for years in a free version and very happily bought the paid version. I think this app is almost faultless. It downloads apps directly from the web, it stores them neatly and it has security options. ### 5/5 — Best Downloader ever.. when it works *2021-04-23, version 6.7* Hi developer... please know you have an amazing app... But it doesn’t work anymore... I’m a historian and have used this app to download and save information that is no longer available on the internet due to this diabolical movement to keep people from acquiring information that can and will broaden their minds... Anyway the way you the developer has structured this app is truly intuitive I’m ready to invest money if you need to create one that’s $20 I would purchase it.... please fix this app... please... thank you. ### 5/5 — Is it Obsolete in 2020 *2020-09-19, version 6.7* The newer versions of web browsers and iOS upgrades have apparently made this app obsolete. It gets FIVE stars because it was best on market!!! And, I Used the same app for years until iPad iOS upgraded and this app upgraded. Now, app crashes ... It was excellent while it lasted! ### 5/5 — App fixed *2019-10-23, version 6.7* That was fast tku , works perfect now ### 5/5 — Videos *2019-10-15, version 6.6* It’s awesome to down load videos I like to watch. ### 5/5 — Azul *2019-10-03, version 6.6* This new update, has made it so I can’t access the internet via the app. All of my saved webpages seem to be gone. It seems the same as VLC app which I only use as storage because I can’t use the internet or save webpages. Some of those websites I don’t have saved anywhere else. I have no way of refining those pages. Also, doesn’t have the option to skip ahead of the video by 10, 15, or 30 seconds. ### 5/5 — Broken *2019-08-24, version 6.5* Worked good for a long time. Always used it. Too bad an update apparently broke it, If you try to play a video on YouTube it crashes. Plus it used to go right to YouTube now it goes to a stupid web page, and now pops up to rate the app. Thanks for changing the product and breaking it ### 5/5 — Help *2019-08-06, version 6.5* App is great - when it works. Mine keeps crashing and customer service email is apparently disconnected. So now I have an app that doesn't work ### 5/5 — Still my go to video app *2019-02-18, version 6.5* Does everything I need for download and playback. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
