The main point of this app is downloading videos and gifs, right? Well unless you pay *premium* for that, it only saves them to the app itself, which I find pointless. If you want to download a gif or video to your photos app, that’s a fee. Why is that a fee??? That is the main point of the app, dude. Absolutely worthless, just use an online converter or hell, even another app entirely. No reason to pay a fee for something that can be entirely free. **Developer response:** Hey there! 👋 Thanks for taking the time to share your brilliant thoughts. You’re absolutely right that there are free ways to download videos online. Our goal isn’t to replace those, but to provide a fast, reliable, and private experience directly in the app—without ads, trackers, or sending your links to unknown websites. Running a service like this does come with real costs: servers, bandwidth, infrastructure, ongoing development, and platform fees. Nothing on the internet runs for free behind the scenes. We live in a world where services are sustained by the value they provide, and the optional premium simply helps us keep the app running, improving, and ad-free for everyone. That said, the premium is completely optional—no pressure at all. We appreciate your feedback and hope the app still proves useful to you in some way. ### 1/5 — Where is author's money? *2025-09-19* As popularity of the app now,keep free and expand limitations when watch the ads is necessary if u wanna earn more money,until more and more people use it **Developer response:** Hey there! 👋 Totally hear you—but here’s the thing: we don’t do ads. Like, ever. While most similar apps are packed with ads, we chose a different route—no interruptions, no distractions. Instead, we keep things super affordable (cheaper than a coffee ☕) so you get the full experience without watching shampoo ads every 3 minutes. We’re all about keeping it clean, fast, and fun—forever ad-free. Promise. 😊 Thanks for the feedback, and hope you’ll stick with us (maybe with a few more stars next time? 😉⭐) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-06* Keeps saying video not found and you have to pay a subscription for higher res video downloads. Not worth it. **Developer response:** Hey there! 👋 If you saw the “higher res video” option, that means the video was actually found—so it’s not totally missing like it may seem. 🙂 That said, some videos (like private or protected ones) can’t be saved, which we do mention in the Help section. And yep, higher res downloads are part of the optional subscription—no pressure, just helps us keep the app ad-free and running smoothly. If something still feels off, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help! 👍 ### 1/5 — New limitations ruin it *2025-06-08, version 1.2* Another developer building up a user base with a free app then stripping away features in exchange for a subscription. Edit: The developer’s response completely ignores my point ### 1/5 — Don’t update to v1.2 or just use Cobalt for free *2025-06-05* Version 1.2 “Thank you for the incredible support and feedback you’ve shared about XSave — we’ve been listening!” >adds subscription Wow, so glad we supported you guys 🙄 you must really value your audience to charge us $80 for the privilege to use your app. Not paying. Cobalt does the same for free and with more features. I’ll be staying on 1.1, thanks. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. As mentioned during the initial release, the app was completely free for a limited time and will remain ad-free forever. Even now, there is still a free monthly usage allowance available without any advertisements. Also, we updated our prices. You can check it from the application. ### 1/5 — Garbage!
