- Rated 3 out of 5by shinkaito, 7 years agoThis review is written as of 7/26/2018 so keep that in mind in case anything changes after I've posted this. I'm also open to being corrected about anything, as I'm merely writing what I have personally experienced. Please feel free to correct me or offer advice.
For a very long time I've recommended this add-on to the people I know, but lately there's been a change that adds a QR code overlaid on top of the downloaded video. The QR code only shows up on videos where the option to download is an ADP variant. The only option to get rid of the QR code on ADP variants is to buy a license. Holding a certain feature as paid-only is debatable, but for me I could accept it in a way. I do understand that so long as the main functionality of the add-on is not hindered, adding a paid-feature that's purely extra and bonus could be a good incentive for people to fund the add-on.
That normally wouldn't be an issue but after recent updates I was really concerned to see that the only download options that came up were the ADP variants which require purchase. I don't mind a paid option, but the fact that the entire add-on seemed to remove functionality from itself unless you paid for it was startling.
There is an option in the configuration settings that allow you to check "Hide ADP variants", and perhaps that may have fixed it. I was really worried that the add-on wouldn't allow one to download anything un-QR-coded without payment. More experimentation is needed to see if there's always going to be an MP4 download option as the add-on functioned just as before.
I'm writing this review to state that I was got a good scare from this recent update, but so long as the add-on retains full-functionality for free users I'll remain viewing things in good faith. Once again, I can understand creating incentives for funding, but to withhold functionality that was openly available before ransom would've scared me. I've been meaning to donate money before I even knew there was an ADP variant license available because I honestly have been a heavy user of this nifty add-on for a while, but haven't done so because I'm currently pretty lean financially. I'm just hoping that this add-on will remain in good faith towards everybody. - Rated 5 out of 5by JCreator, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tonho Zik4, 7 years agoRealmente muito bom! o melhor q já tive.
A algumas coisas q gostaria q melhorasse:
O sistema de conversão é meio confuso, a muitas variáveis de formatos q n conheço como (mp4 500kb, mp4 1mb, mp3 hq, mp4 2mb)?? se tive-se apenas, audio: mp3,mp4 e video: mp4, mkv, avi e mobile pra mim ja tava OK...
Também o fato de em algumas situações, não são comuns mas também n chegam a ser raras, em que ao tentar baixar um vídeo ou áudio a extensão informa q n é possível baixar a n ser q instale um programa em seu pc q a extensão diz q é de "auxilio". eu n instalei, porem mesmo assim tive a oportunidade de fazer o download, mas em qualidade reduzida.
Tirando essas mínimas coisas, a extensão é QUASE perfeita.
