It became a MoneyHungry garbage app with that watermark QRC-code. Deleted. Have fun. There are many more free downloader which works to download anything from anywhere.

Not for Use and it's not "Free"
Video is filled with a BIG QR-code.
Don't waste time on it!
Fucking Dickheads

theres a watermark on all videos now that can only be removed by paying 30$

Simply does not work, maybe with that extra external helper app but thats a 35€ investment

The developers have ruined this once great app. From as far back as I remember, And i've been using this from the mid- 2000's. it was always free. Now I couldn't download any Youtube videos on it without there being a watermark, an obnoxious giant QR code in every video. It said "In order to remove the watermark, upgrade to the Lifetime License version" where you have to pay them money now. Since when?! THIS APP WAS ALWAYS FREE AND FUNCTIONED PROPERLY WITHOUT NEEDING TO BE PAID FOR YEARS. I will be removing this software. Use 9xbuddy instead.

Just stopped working, every video just spins in delay

no logro bajar videos

Used to be great, I used to love this downloader. Now though? Now it slaps a GIANT QR code taking up literally 30% of the screen. Previously it was a watermark which was fine. But a giant watermark? What absolute garbage is this? And keep in mind this is ON TOP OF it making you download a program to your computer.

Honestly if you need a video, just screen record it. This is NOT going to work very well for you. Trust me.

Funny thing is I would happily donate to them if they were actually struggling but if you render the video I downloaded LITERALLY USELESS then no. Forget that. There are other options out there.

Suddenly there's a massive QR code in the corner of downloaded videos, which the extension tries to make you believe was always there before but it wasn't as I have used this extension for many years, and if you want to remove these QR codes you must pay $30 for a "conversion license". Complete and utter BS. I'll be moving onto other alternatives.

I'm really tired of add ons like this not being honest, and mis-leading people in some way by promising us a free product which turns out to not really be free.

So-called "freemium" products (like this add on) should be fully transparent about it with people upfront and say "hey - you're not really getting a free lunch here", by us slapping an enormous watermark on to any video that's downloaded; and then - holding the file up hostage (with said watermark) until we "pony up the dough" for premium membership.

If you're not giving anyone a free product anymore than just say so dudes - preferably on your main add on page; so people like me are aware about it and about what we're adding onto our systems.

And as if all that wasn't bad enough - you require a third party app to be installed and "meshed into the cookie mix" of your product, by requiring a "companion app" which makes users download two programs to do one thing.

So.... you're expecting people to add a second add on to compliment yours - just so the thing works right, and then..... expect us to PAY for it on top of that also? Really?

First it asks me to download an app. Then I download a video...AND IT HAS A GIANT WATERMARK TAKING UP 30% OF THE SCREEN.....I CALL BS

The new version is useless unless you pay $$$. Just remove the useless version and download version 8.2.2.8 from addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/versions/ then turn automatic updates off.

I paid the membership fee and still I get the watermark. Why?
