User reviews

Loved this app until now

This is an awesome app for if you want to mass download images easily from a website with lots of images and no way to grab them all simultaneously.

Although this is great, there is no way to use the app anymore since I get kicked out of the app, at least for me (Ipad user).

I hope that this is just an optimization issue that can easily be fixed. I really do love this app otherwise.

It might be a personal issue, but I really hope that this crashing problem would stop. I do enjoy using this app, there’s nothing like it anywhere.

Please Update

This was the best image “ripper” app available, but it no longer works. Please update.

Would be perfect if

You updated to the latest iOS. Files don’t work anyMore.

App freezes

This app freezes every time I select an action from the "share" button (save photos to phone, send photos via message, etc).

I have to close the app out and relaunch it. Very annoying.

Used to be great. But crashes with iOS 13.4 have ruined it

Hasn’t been updated for three years. Used to be a great way to capture and sort all the pictures on a site but it just crashes every minute or so now.
