How did you miss adding a full screen mode? Add full screen playback ### 3/5 — Maybe works *2024-10-24, version 1.3* But it didn’t find the video I was looking for. Don’t waste the two bucks. ### 1/5 — Useless for iPhone *2024-08-24, version 1.3* Will not search anything, even from the blaze website. Total waste of $. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as described *2024-06-18, version 1.3* What a complete waste of money. Followed tutorial as the app advises. Followed exactly the process as per tutorial (indeed with the same companion app they use in the tutorial). Don’t work - no download. Really poor show. ### 2/5 — No Audio *2024-05-01, version 1.3* When I download MP4 files the audio doesn’t go with it. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-04-30, version 1.3* My only purpose is to download videos off my instagram and I can’t even do that not worth $2 anyway recommend another way I can download them? ### 1/5 — Not downloading nothing *2024-04-27, version 1.3* Not downloading nothing ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2024-02-13, version 1.3* Tried every which way as directed by the app and website, but couldn’t pull video from instagram. This app is a waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-01-25, version 1.3* I know this app costs only $2.00 but that is about $5.00 too much. Confusing. Non functional with Instagram. I wrote them for either support or refund. I got neither. So I deleted the app. My advice….find something else. ### 1/5 — Useless! *2024-01-05* Reviewed instructions. I've tried for 20 minutes and cannot download anything! No videos, no photos, no webpages. I did succeed in downloading an Instagram logo! Waste of 99 cents; glad I purchased on sale. If this app works, we need better instructions. ### 4/5 — Downloaded two of three videos I wanted. *2023-12-08* I was able to successfully download two of the Instagram videos of my cat as a just-born rescued kitten, but the third, even though it said it successfully downloaded (more than once), would not play or download in the app on the files tab. No error message. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work ! *2023-11-29, version 1.3* Hello world, if you are downloading this app to save Instagram videos to your phone , it doesn’t work and keeps going in circles ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-09-10, version 1.2* I tap down load, it says scan for, I tap video, and nothing…… ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-09-04, version 1.2* Stopped working a while ago. Never been fixed. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t not download *2023-08-26, version 1.2* It doesn’t not download from Instagram. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2023-08-19, version 1.2* Doesn’t work, iPhone 14 user app seems well out of date don’t waste your money! ### 1/5 — Completely Worthless *2023-08-08, version 1.2* I rarely take the time to write reviews, but after my experience with Blaze, I feel compelled to spare others the same disappointment. I purchased "Blaze: Browser and File Manager" for $1.99 under the impression that I could seamlessly download videos from platforms like Instagram and Twitter. Unfortunately, this couldn't be further from the truth. I tried downloading multiple videos, thinking perhaps I was missing a step, only to be met with the same results each time: nothing. To ensure I was using the app correctly, I even sat down to watch the developer's tutorial on YouTube, following each instruction to the letter. Still, the videos just wouldn't download. To make matters worse, I reached out to the developer hoping to either get assistance or a possible solution but was met with radio silence. It's frustrating enough when an app fails to deliver on its promises, but the lack of customer support is the final straw. In short, save your money and time. "Blaze" doesn't blaze any trails in the realm of video downloading – it merely extinguishes your patience and trust. Steer clear of this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-04-08, version 2.0.4* I buy pro version but now tell me to subscribe monthly or yearly ### 1/5 — Paid for the app, now they want to charge subscription *2026-02-19, version 2.0.2* Bait and switch, won’t use this developer in the future. Was offering the app for sale outright, after o paid they change their system few months down the road. Absolutely ridiculous, all old users should be grandfathered in. Or at the very damn least offered refund of original purchase. Horrible business practices ### 1/5 — Have To Pay Again? *2026-02-08, version 2.0.2* I was one of the first customers to use the original and paid to use it so I didn’t get ads and Watermarks. I frequently chatted with the Developer as Insta kept putting codes in the app to prevent downloads but now, I am unable to Restore Purchase and wants me to PAY AGAIN. No thanks, I dont pay twice for the same item. App uninstalled. ### 1/5 — New Update *2026-01-23, version 2.0.2* The new update is no longer able to download previously downloadable sites . The browser is also gone . They now make you purchase a subscription after so many downloads which is impossible as you can’t download anything . Don’t break what wasn’t broken . ### 1/5 — Perfect the way it was *2026-01-08, version 2.0.1* Use to work amazingly, now you have to pay for a subscription and the downloader doesn‘t work. Sad. ### 1/5 — What is this update? *2026-01-07, version 2.0* Paid for this app now I have to purchase a premium subscription. Lame ### 1/5 — Update no longer supports most sites *2026-01-04, version 2.0* Enjoyed the app for years. Recent update no longer supports downloads from previously downloadable sites. Plus it is no longer a free service, only 10 downloads then pay? Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-07-27, version 1.3.3* Nothing download waste of money ### 1/5 — Crashed *2025-06-19, version 1.3.1* Crashed and never worked ### 1/5 — Does not work. *2025-01-09, version 1.3* Does not work as advertised on iOS 18. Do not recommend. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New Version And Even Better… *2026-03-02, version 2.0.3* I was one of the first customers to use the original and then it disappeared for a while but I never deleted it and when this new version came out, I downloaded it straight away to resume downloading reels etc. This new version is far easier to use than its predecessor. So simple, copy the link you want, open this app, click the download button, press paste link. Then the app does everything else. All you need to do is, click on the video and choose what file (video, music etc) and download it to your device. This app is the best out there and is regularly updated, so that you’ll never find a link that doesn’t work. Definitely worthy of 5 Stars. ### 5/5 — Ok *2024-07-17, version 1.3* Was working fine until after around 5 downloads after that no sound is coming through ### 5/5 — Great for Instagram *2022-07-18, version 1.1.5* Great app for downloading instagram videos ### 5/5 — Developer keeps putting out updates *2022-06-14* There was no updates for a bit so I left a lower review, but the developer definitely eventually gets on top of updating it. Right now it is working better than it ever has for me! 👍 **Developer response:** Hey, Please update your app, we have fixed all the bugs. Regards, Dropouts Tech ### 5/5 — Update *2021-10-05, version 1.1.4* The developers got in touch & now sorted! Loved this. But not worked since upgrading to ios 15 sadly ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-03-22, version 1.1.2* Want to save your favorite videos 👀👀? This is the app. One of the best apps out there for downloading content. ### 5/5 — Blaze File Management and Downloads *2021-02-13, version 1.1.2* I found out about Blaze in a review. Works flawlessly. . ### 5/5 — 10 stars from me *2020-12-18* Better than I imagined I have only needed to use the video downloaded feature which is all I ever need but what I love about the app is I am able to download all my favourites from xnxx.con witch can be enjoyed offline without using to much of my phone space while also being my private stash ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2020-06-16, version 1.1.2* Amazing ### 5/5 — Don't even think!! Just buy it! *2020-05-30* I have bought hundreds and hundreds of apps and I cannot emphasize it enough the value and utility found here in the Blaze app **Developer response:** Hello, Thank You for your kind words 🙏🏼 Regards --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
