- Rated 1 out of 5by David, a year agoThis app doesn't work without downloading additional software. Not worth the security risk.
- Rated 1 out of 5by bbug, a year agowas good for a while until I wanted videos that required "conversion" or recombining of video and audio. basically all of youtube. They force you to pay $28 or you get a watermark. no option to download video and audio separately. They basically do the conversion and extra watermark processing for free and then hold out their hands for $28 saying its very expensive. If it was so expensive, why'd you process and give me the watermarked files for free?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Henry, a year agoRequires installation of another app, also adds watermark to downloaded videos to extort money from users.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Felix, a year agoAsk to install outside app and then put watermark into the downloaded video. Instant uninstall.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18301342, a year agoAfter updating, it says it needs a companion app to work rather than working like it did before on my Linux system. Instructions for this are lacking in clarity or all steps required for making it work.

This extension now requires you to install some stupid external app to download anything - Rated 1 out of 5by phill1022, a year ago5 star reviews are bots, this app used to be free to use, since they have updated here are the results:
Will download video and leave a water mark QR code that is 1/8 of the screen.
The QR code dumps you on page asking for $28.50 for 1 year version to remove watermark.
To make the video with a watermark it will max out your CPU creating the video. and take substantially longer to download/burn.
Previous version never bogged my system down, downloaded quickly, and no watermark. I made this account just to leave this review. - Rated 1 out of 5by Ibelievenot, 2 years agoUPDATE: Albeit a small improvement, the most recent update seems to have helped slightly. However, about 25% of downloads are still either not initializing a download at all, or they stall out during the download process. It's very unreliable. At times, several videos will download without issue. Other times every other video stalls out and requires being cancelled. Further more, when a video stalls out, it remains frozen at the % it stalled out on. Effectively stopping all queued downloads. Please, please revert to a previous, more stable version. We are begging you. Thank you for this Addon and all the work that has been put into it!

I created an account just to leave this review. I've used this Addon for years without issue. 5 Stars all around! But the most recent update has made it practically unusable. 75% of the time the downloads hang on "Downloading" and don't actually start the process. It's infuriating to say the least. Please repair this Addon. It would be greatly appreciated. - Rated 1 out of 5by Syv, 2 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18296286, 2 years agoIt does not work for audio download. Only if You pay You can download music, so I wonder why I do not pay directly for the music instead paying to them ?

- Rated 1 out of 5by arknd, 2 years agoThis extension might be compromised on the newest version. Downloading a video instead downloads a php script. Watch out. The old versions are fine though. I recommend reverting to one of them.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Adilson Barros, 2 years agoIn the beginning was good, today more errors when downloading live streaming. Is getting worse day by day. Now, start download and stop each 2 minutes. TERRIBLE!
