Plus I knew there was an option to pay for the removal of ads so if I liked the app I could and intended to do that. Developer makes their money and I no longer to be violated through the harvesting of my browsing habits by advertisers. Win, win. The positive is I didn’t have to pay money to learn if the app was worth the buying and I’m glad that I didn’t cause it didn’t work how I expected. So after few full screen ads and about 75% of my file has been downloaded I step away from the phone for maybe 4 or 5 minutes. I come back and a full screen ad is up again and I go to close it, only it won’t close. It’s not frozen mind you if I touch the wrong part of the full page ad (basically anywhere that isn’t the X in the top left corner the ad triggers safari to open and take me to the web page of the ad the app displayed. After closing said web page and safari I go back to the app and the ad is still there. The X still highlights when tapped but still didn’t close the app. After launching safari several times I finally hard close the app. There’s a notification bubble with the number 1 but when I open the app there is no file the download is gone. No partially completed nothing to tell me that it failed. Nothing I haven’t a clue what the notification bubble was there to tell me as there weren’t any notifications. To be fair because I couldn’t close the ad it’s possible the download hadn’t finished. It should’ve but maybe it didn’t but what grinds my gears is the not knowing what happened as well as the use of intrusive ads and their hijacking phone functionality. So given that I didn’t pay for the app, I’m not too more annoyed, disappointed but wanna share my experience maybe I’ll give the app a try again once it’s been updated but as for now I’ll keep looking for a download manager that works on iOS. **Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback. The ad behavior you experienced sounds like a faulty ad from a 3rd party ad network, ads should never prevent the app from functioning properly. We'll review this issue with our ad provider immediately. If you remember what the ad was advertising, please contact us so we can report and remove that specific problematic ad. We appreciate you taking the time to explain what happened, and we're sorry this affected your download experience. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-07-24* There is no download button. **Developer response:** Hello, please update to the latest version 5.2.0 which fixes some issues with the download manager and then try to visit a website that offers a file for download (e.g. a document file with .doc extension).
