- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17240526, 2 years agoThe latest update rendered the extension absolutely useless. Unable to download videos from the majority of sites. Companion app doesn't help with the issue. Uninstall.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Inoro, 2 years agoAbsolutely useless. Unable to download videos from the majority of sites. Companion app doesn't help with the issue. Unresponsive dev who has no interest in increasing the compatibility of the app to work with more sites, and then has the audacity to have their nonfunctional addon constantly spam you with requests to give them your money. Borderline adware.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17868857, 2 years agoWorked for a few days. Suddenly stopped, and won't download anything without the intrusive companion app.
Borderline malicious. - Rated 1 out of 5by Suarez, 2 years agoNo funciona, te pide que descargues mas software, fuera de este sitio.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ray, 2 years agoNow you need to install their sketchy add-on app to download videos. As if that weren't enough - after a 4 hrs long download... they tell me they've added a QR code to my video as I didn't purchase a license. Now had I known about this from the beginning, I could've made an informed decision about wheter to use your service or not, couldn't I? I certainly am not going to donate even a cent of my money now, after hours wasted. Thanks for nothing, disinstalled.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Bendër, 2 years agoAwful watermak now. Just use yt-dlg instead : it's powerful and full opensource, even if it's not browser integrated.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15859028, 2 years agoTries to install an additional app instead of working as an extension

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18276985, 2 years agoHow the hell do I download this extension? I've used it for years, but now it seems to want an update. There seems to be no obvious way to do this.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Luc, 2 years agoI wouldn't recommend it. I was able to download ONE video and then they started to beg for me to pay money to register, putting a freaking barcode on the video, AND you will be forced to download their app. Overall it's s$*@
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18275331, 2 years agoTODOS os vídeos ficaram com um QR Code.
Simplesmente péssimo.
Não baixem. - Rated 1 out of 5by JJ, 2 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18241984, 2 years agoThe add-on coerces users to download a companion app. The video files for which it suggests it's companion app is required are easily downloadable by the direct http address of the video, proving further that the app uses disinformation to achieve its goal of installation of its "companion app".
The companion app analysis is shown here which contains a range of malware activities;
Malware the add-on attempts to make users download; https://github.com/aclap-dev/vdhcoapp/releases/download/v2.0.10/vdhcoapp-2.0.10-win7-x86_64-installer.exe

Then your download ADP gets "Watermarked" with a QR code, and you have to pay to remove.
Claims Watermark is only on ADP, but if you download HLS, only get Audio...
