I just wish there was an option for an in app purchase to disable ads rather than having to watch a video every session to disable them. ### 5/5 — Funciona *2018-05-29* Copias el link del video. Lo pegas en el el navegador de la app y te aparece el mensaje para descargar. ### 5/5 — I loved it! *2018-05-19* This is one of the most fascinating apps I have, and one of the few that work. Anyway, Thank you for making such a GREAT app!👍👍👍👍😋 ### 4/5 — Needs improvement *2018-04-25* Nice app. It would be helpful if you can login to a account where files can be stored so they won't be lost. Also there is no screen orientation while using the app that's a little annoying. There should be a pay option to be able to use the app ad free perminatly. There should be more internet options like removing cookies. ### 5/5 — How this thing work? *2018-04-18* I got this app today and I tried to explore around and stuff and I was like oh cool this app is great and then I download music (not sure if I did it correctly) and I open my files and it gives me this very confusing page with a lot of writing and I don’t know where to click to get my music....IM SO CONFUSED PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ### 5/5 — Good app *2018-04-14* Excellent ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for. *2018-04-08* Sadly it doesn’t merge with your apple playlist but this app is amazing. I highly recommend it for apple users. ### 4/5 — Great but needs some work *2018-04-04* Would be better if I could put all my stuff in the same folder because whenever I need to add something to one of my folders I basically need to download them all over again one by one and it’s annoying ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just takes storage *2024-12-02* I download a song and the song is already finished but there’s like an additional time added to it where it’s nothing played that is a thief of storage, and I also download one song and there’s like about 5 from it on the playlist and if I want to delete one that’s not possible it just plays the next song and I can’t even name the songs because if I name it it’s gonna be an empty file Idk Loi Nguyen or what your name is how bout you make one app that works ### 1/5 — Cant get it to download. Another hoax app…. *2024-11-20* Browser doesn’t seem to support download links - also clogged with advertising. Waste of time……. ### 1/5 — Update *2024-04-06* The App Updated and deleted all my work & files that I previously had in it before the update. -1000 points ! ### 1/5 — Don’t update *2024-03-31* Don’t update or else you will loose ### 1/5 — Instagram search does not work *2018-06-11* Search function within this app for Instagram does not work on iOS ### 1/5 — Unstable *2018-05-28* Very unstable. Lots of crashes. Very unflexible. Just not good! ### 1/5 — Waste *2018-01-29* Cant download from YouTube ### 2/5 — File html? *2018-02-11* E del file html sul cell che me ne faccio?? ### 3/5 — please fix this problem *2018-02-19* the app worked fine the first time i used it and i’ve been looking for an app like this for about an entire year now with no luck until now. but when i try to save it to my phone files by clicking share, it doesn’t work. i click share and it acts as if i never did. please fix it and i will rate it five stars, but until then it’s completely unusable for me. ### 3/5 — No auto play *2018-02-12* Pretty good app downside is that it doesn’t play the songs in your playlist on its own. You have to manually come back every time to press play ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Adds *2024-08-15* Make a possibility to get rid of adds please!
