### 5/5 — It’s Great But…

*2026-04-25*

The app is great, i’ve used it for years to download videos. It’s efficient, but I wished the developer would answer emails. I’ve had some specific sites where the player of a video is not recognized by the app, to download. And i’ve contacted the developer about it many times but so far, I haven’t received any reply back.

### 4/5 — Wow

*2026-04-08*

Works phenomenally 

Little clunky but the functionality is awesome, when I say a little I mean very little.

### 5/5 — 最高のアプリ

*2026-03-07*

本当にいつも助かっています。
このアプリがないと生きていけません。iPhoneユーザーですがTVerの保存も難なくできています。
できない方は保存した動画の｢取得元を開く｣からサイトに飛ぶと今迄通り保存できるかと思いますのでやってみてください。

ここからは要望です。
①YouTubeの動画が720pまででしか保存ができない為、1080p、できれば4Kまで対応して欲しいです。他に使いやすいアプリがなくて困っています。
②動画をまとめて共有できるようにしてほしい。
一括削除とバインダー移動しかないと思うのですが、ひとつひとつ共有から保存するのが面倒なので、複数選択から共有や保存が選べると助かります。

よろしくお願いします。

### 5/5 — Tverが開けなくなった！

*2025-11-27, version 7.4*

初めに…
このアプリに出会えて良かったと思ってます( ˇωˇ )ドラマ保存できるのがありがたくてもう……(；；)

本題…
いつも通りicapでTverを開ことしたら画面が真っ白になってしまって……保存どころか閲覧もできないんです。以前保存した動画の『取得元を開く』を押しても、真っ白な画面に連れていかれます。これはどうしたらいいんでしょうか？容量は246/256でちょっとやばめですが、250/256の時でも問題なくTver開けてたんです…いつもTverを通してicapにはお世話になってるので是非対処方法を教えて欲しいです…(>人<;)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-11-18*

Nice app to download and play music

### 4/5 — Great App, Needs Chinese Language

*2025-10-30, version 7.3*

I hope a Chinese version will be released.

### 4/5 — 愛用してますが

*2025-10-04, version 7.3*

《追記》
ご対応ありがとうございます。
ただ、進捗バーは表示される様になりましたが、mp4に変換してのダウンロードではバーが進んでいるのにパーセント表示が1％くらいで止まったままだったり、そのバーも半分過ぎた辺りで全く動かなくなったと思ったら突然ダウンロード完了したりとまだ安定しない様です。
また、ダウンロード中のファイルの3本線リーダのメニューの中にある「DL進捗を設定」をタップするとバーが一気に減ったり増えたりするのですが、これは一体どういう機能なのでしょうか？

iOS26にすると、ダウンロード中の各ファイル個別のプログレスバーが表示されなくなりました。

### 1/5 — 広告はマシ、UIは最低

*2025-08-30, version 7.2*

他のアプリは耐えられないほど広告が多く長いので使い物にならない。一方、このアプリは広告がまだ耐えられるレベル。

UIについては最低レベル。直感的に使えない。とりあえず改善してほしいのは以下2点。
・ブラウザで動画検索→保存した後、ブラウザで開いた動画を閉じる方法がない。あるのかもしれないがわかりづらすぎる。
・保存した音声のフォルダ分けが一見すると非常にわかりづらい。保存したmp3を「フォルダ」と呼んでいるが普通は「ファイル」と呼ぶべきである。そして、本来「フォルダ」と呼ぶべきものを「バインダー」と呼んでいるのも直すべき。非常にわかりづらい。
