- Rated 1 out of 5by Stephen, 4 years agoUnnecessarily over-complicated. Converted 4k video and the quality was extremely low even though the file size was extremely large. Video looked extremely muddy. No mention of needing to pay until I had spent 10 minutes downloading a video. Put a huge unbranded QR watermark in the corner that is incredibly intrusive. Companion app was a pain to uninstall because the name of the program in windows is completely unrelated to what they call it when you download it. Also pegged my CPU (Ryzen 7 5800x) for an extreme amount of resources that is normally not used for software like this. I specified a folder destination in the save menu on my (F:) Drive as that is where I store media for projects (I am an editor). Instead the 500MB file was saved to my C: Drive which is a boot SSD that is storage limited and does not have a file structure that is convenient for my profession. Overall just extremely terrible. There are open source programs that work a million times better than this and are completely free and transparent in their development.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13896239, 4 years agoI just installed the extension and this ask to download an installer as well, followed all the steps and when I try to download a video it doesn't, hit the "download" and never download and keep saying it's a problem downloading. Waste of time, I will keep trying another one.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17046206, 4 years agoLame, once upon a time, you could just click , download, save and go on with your life. All this companion crap and Barcodes this screw that. Uninstalled for life.
- Rated 1 out of 5by luxus224, 4 years agoGarbage. The options menu is waaay to complicated. I downloaded a video but I can't figure out if it downloaded it or not. Where does this extension even save the videos (if it saves them at all)?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17075287, 4 years agoI'd leave a review for this terrible addon, but the companion app is required for me to do so, just like this app requires to do ANYTHING.
That's no longer a plugin, and this is a steaming turd. Stay away. - Rated 1 out of 5by Kess, 4 years agoUsed to work just fine, perfectly. I loved it. Now it demand to install an add-on companion app that I DO NOT need, cuz it won't download and just doesn't work. Can't do anything with it now. Sucks. Please fix this and you'll get people back.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gn. Cx, 4 years agoRequires unsigned companion app install, forces re-encoding of sources in your own machine to superimpose nag QR on video.
- Rated 1 out of 5by retired_guru, 4 years agoBeen a long-time user of this add-on, until recently, when the companion app required library files newer than my most current version of a major linux distro can support. And previously you had a choice between using the browser and the app. Not so now. Add-on useless. You've dropped many users due to these latest changes.

- Rated 1 out of 5by BarryZombie, 4 years agoWorthless. Everything I try to download tells me I need to download a companion app. Screw that.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mark, 4 years agoCrap. Ask you to download a companion app. and then that companion app ask you to pay. DO NOT INSTALL.
- Rated 1 out of 5by waif, 4 years agoпосле VDP: Best Video Downloader, Video DownloadHelper полный отстой. при загрузке мр3 все файлы приходится переименовывать
- Rated 1 out of 5by Antonis, 4 years agoIt is useless. The video format is unplayable and you need to convert it. Conversion puts a stupid HUGE QR code in the corner of the video unless you pay for the conversion. Totally useless.

- Rated 1 out of 5by free0n, 4 years agoПоставить расширение в браузер, чтобы оно установило доп. программу для скачивания в .exe. Спасибо не надо.
- Rated 1 out of 5by wsa, 4 years agoUgly and sometimes difficult UI. And it will place an ugly watermark on some of your videos? Which ones? When? You'll find out AFTER you've waited for the video to be created. I'm fine with trying to make money, but this is a shady plugin that you should not trust.
