Not worth the time. ### 2/5 — Abandoned a guest? *2026-03-06* I doesn’t recognize most downloadable files unfortunately, dated interface and no notifications for background activities. ### 4/5 — Good downloader *2025-12-18, version 1.5.22* All great,only can not download batches... Also more importantly can be closed on the background sometimes ### 3/5 — Core functionality good with some major bugs *2025-11-19, version 1.5.21* Core functionality is great, but there is lack of UI ADAPTABILITY for iphone, also major bug when clearing a list of completed downloads when downloads in progress leads to application CRASH!!! it is hard to navigate tabs and close them as the buttons are too small, it also could allow a full browser with dev tools so we can extract urls for download etc. but overall good ### 2/5 — Downloads Fail *2025-11-17, version 1.5.21* Most downloads fail, and it doesn’t actually accelerate. I was only able to download files under 1 gb. I tried 30 gb despite having plenty of space (more than 100 gb available) and downloads still fail. I’ve wasted too much data on this app. ### 3/5 — Core functionality good but UI fixes and additional functionality needed *2025-10-19, version 1.5.21* Core functionality is great, but there is lack of UI ADAPTABILITY for iphone, it is hard to navigate tabs and close them as the buttons are too small, it also could allow a full browser with dev tools so we can extract urls for download etc. but overall good ### 4/5 — Very Useful *2025-10-15, version 1.5.21* Recently had this recommended by a colleague, definitely seems to download faster. Only downside as far as I can see is Google sign in doesn’t work. Anything that goes through Google authentication is refused 403. ### 4/5 — Problem *2025-09-29* It’s a really good app. The problem is that if a download is in progress, when the phone screen locks, the download speed drops to zero without actually stopping the download ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2025-09-17, version 1.5.21* Funciona perfeitamente para o que eu preciso. ### 5/5 — Отличная программа *2025-09-08* Загрузил эту программу для того чтобы скачивать файлы. Со своей задачей справляется на ура. Многопотоковая загрузка. Рекомендую. ### 5/5 — A Simple, Powerful Multi-purpose Download Manager *2025-06-05* This app is incredible at pulling source media off the browser page and giving you a direct download to the source quality resolution. It can download files in multiple parts simultaneously which improves download speed, and is also a great download manager that lets you restart and even re-link incomplete downloads. 5 stars all the way. ### 4/5 — Yes but better alternatives *2025-05-27, version 1.5.19* It’s good yes but as there are better FOSS ad-free alternatives this is not really needed as it’s quite annoying with ads. Nonetheless, it served me when up until I found the alternative. ### 5/5 — great App *2025-05-18, version 1.5.19* I have searched for a while for a good download Manager since the native dm in iOS doesn’t work as well as it should. This feels like IDM and I like that. One feature i am still looking for though is the possibility to implement fGet into shortcuts to automate downloads further. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-05-16, version 1.5.19* Worth paying to remove ads. Works in the background, split-part downloading, top notch! ### 3/5 — Great when it works *2025-03-28, version 1.5.19* Does not capture all downloads but when it works it is good. ### 3/5 — Pretty good but *2025-03-27, version 1.5.19* Pretty good but pauses my youtube music when it’s open. Weird ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — faux telechargement *2026-02-15, version 1.5.22* Ca ne télécharger que quelques secondes en basse résolution et au bout d’un certain temps ils sont inaccessibles. ### 1/5 — Paid for app but it’s not working *2025-12-09, version 1.5.21* I just paid so that the adds are removed but ofc it didn’t work and I am still watching adds after I paid.

Sometimes it's annoying. But developers don't care about app functionality. Sometimes failed to downlod,sometimes don't even start download ### 1/5 — Broken download manager + Ads? *2024-10-19* Can’t combine the parallel downloaded sections into one. A waste of time. ### 1/5 — Download manager not working *2024-05-24, version 1.5.18* There is no option to download videos . It automatically show download dialogue and format is m3u8 and also not downloading vireos ### 1/5 — most useless and unpractical app ever *2024-01-05, version 1.5.18* never instal this app if your security and nerve is important when you delete app it delete every thing and never work proper and also its full of ads that just play sound and make you angry i hate it and the developer who developed this bug its so useless and i hope apple will make you pay for this virus ### 1/5 — Useless app *2023-10-07* This is a very useless app and an entire waste of data, do not download. Unless you want to be bombarded with ads and still not be able to download anything. Don’t listen to the fake, probably paid reviews. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best file downloader ever for iOS *2026-04-20, version 1.5.22* This will truly give you the feeling and comfort of the famous IDM in windows!
