Thanks! ### 1/5 — Usless !!!!!! *2019-03-01* I had this app long time ago, and it was so good downloading music and videos, unfortunately I had to upgrade from iPhone 6s to an iPhone 8, so far I see no upgrade to my old and original DOWNLOADS APP... so I bought this new(suppose) same app.... but what a mistake.... this app does not download music and video.... so to this is USELESS!!!!!! NOT GOOD!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2019-01-04* Clearly this app hasn’t been updated in a long while. The final goodbye the developers left us with was an awful overhaul of the entire UI and the disabling of many useful features. I’m alright with saying that the $2 this app isn’t worth is a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-11-14* Pointless app should be deleted from app store. Cant download using it anymore so total waste of time even tried all the “fixes” but still doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Don’t buy it it’s crap *2018-06-30, version 2.5.2* You guys should return money to everyone... ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2018-06-27, version 2.5.2* I used this apps for while working well to download but not its useless don’t waste your time and money they are f”” liar ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2019-06-17* I REALLY have no idea why this app has so many negative reviews. Personally, I think it’s one of the most useful apps on the market. Especially the FTP transfer, the file organisation. This is literally my ‘External Hard drive’ that I can store files on and transfer from using FTP. Brilliant app. Keep making new ones please. 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Still works guys *2016-01-27* Works great I got all music downloaded on here with a file converter 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Downloads Ls Apps *2015-10-15* I have no absolute problem with the app I'm still able to download music, this app is honestly sensational and always been before and after the update and all my friends that I've put onto it loves it ### 5/5 — It's a miracle *2015-01-20, version 2.5* I purchased this app a long time ago. I hadn't been able to download music since ios8. Now I can download any song I desire. Just listen to others on how to fix the app in settings and it should work fine. On the other hand I will be hesitant to get a new update for the app simply cause I don't want the same thing happen to me twice. For the makers of this app you guys are doing a fine job, keep it up ### 5/5 — Not able to download music *2014-12-09, version 2.4* This app was and is my favorite music app since I was able to download music straight to my phone. But since the update I can no longer make albums in my playlist it just lets me have the picture. I can still download music I just can't make albums please fix this I would hate to have to go find another app to download music to my phone. ### 5/5 — Won't Get Fooled Again *2014-12-03, version 2.4* This is twice Apple has gotten me, or tried to. First by deleting the app, and then making it useless for people who had it on iTunes. BUT, as always, I leave the old version from my 4s and iPad Air 1 untouched, and I have restored it yet again. I even backed up my music to my computer so I wouldn't have to re-download 200 songs. Try again, Apple! I've got 2 (now 3) copies of an app that you keep trying to destroy, and I refuse to succumb to the update scam again. 😂👋👍 ### 5/5 — Ridiculously useful app *2014-04-06, version 2.3* While the primary feature is of course an ability to download and store arbitrary files from the web, this app is jam-packed with other useful features! One of my favorites is the built-in http file server, which has come in handy for getting files on and off of computers. Another favorite feature of mine is the ability to set the user agent string (among several presets) in the browser, making the browser masquerade as a desktop computer. I've been using this app for years and would highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Invaluable *2014-02-10* As easy as you could hope it to be and very useful. ### 5/5 — Best thing for a music lover *2014-01-29, version 2.2* Totally best app for opening large files from emails or professors. Great for music as well. Only downside is sometimes you can't find certain things you're looking for but it's usually rare. Absolutely loveee it I even it my mom and cousin and aunt to buy. Definitely a must have app! It could use some sprucing for fast forward and options to turn off automatic play but that's not bad enough for it to loose any stars from me!!! Get it! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-01-20* Awesome clean interface, works great! Much better than other download apps and much better looking too.
