Ratings and reviews

Works great! The best part in my opinion is if you are not on Wi-Fi, it will que the downloads until you are on Wi-Fi. This can be overridden of course. My mobile data limit thanks you very much. This piece of software does a remarkable job. I can line up a whole lot of downloads, huge downloads, and then when I get home they will just start running in the background. They even continue later if I turn off the phone and turn it on again the next day.

I wanted to use this app because I needed to resume a download that constantly interrupted and I had to restart it from the beginning. Now I can pause and resume normally and I don't have that problem anymore. Additionally, this app has 3 different modes for download speeds, which is great when I need to do web browsing while downloading files.

I primarily use it to manage and download various document formats and large files sizes that give Chrome a difficult time or fail outright. URL autopaste feature is brilliant. There are many more features that I don't even really use; they may be useful to you however! Fast. No issues. No ads. Check it out.
