Very good app, had 2 of Malcolmcdowells movies I really love, just wish I did not have to pay to keep those videos. I don't understand the instructions on how to download the videos to my device,I'm not seeing a download button on the upper right corner of the video player.

Works well on my Android phone. The only issue I have is that NONE of the movies list the year of its release. It's info I'd like to have.
