3★[Update- AUG 2025] I am still receiving ads from the APP with no way to cancel [June 2025] I pay for this app and it was working flawlessly un until last week. I'm am now being served adds that I cannot skip to download something called kingshot. Other than that, the APh has works flawlessly. But having to look at ad that goes on for two minutes makes me quick the app. [Edit: 30NOV2033] Recently the ads There are ads, but they aren't what I would consider excessive. Totally worth it

2★I've always loved this app. Nothing else I've ever used is even close. UPDATE: not sure what's going on with the app now but lately trying to play pornhub videos I'm getting an error about "format not supported or video no longer available". But if I download it the video plays fine. However, I don't want to have to download every video just to see it.

1★More and more the ads on this program will not let you shut them down even after you watch them for their duration it just stalls and forces you to try and go to their website. total garbage. (Follow up) Well your ad strategy sucks. I came back few months later to see if I got any better.. but of course it got worse. it seems clear at this point that they're trying to get you to watch 15 ads in a row before you can use their software for additional ad revenue.

1★Common sense is not common anymore I guess! The ads are television commercials meant for television! Nobody should be interrupted by this! I complained, they told me the problem would be fixed, that was a lie! Common sense would be to take a small area at the top or bottom of the screen and put ads there with no video or sound, not ignorant loud tv commercials that take too much time to end! You can have a lot more ads that way, more ads is more money. Making it frustrating ruins the experience.

1★I've decided to uninstall the app. At this point it only functions half the time correctly, and the ads are too terrible. It doesn't show thumbnails to the download options, so you mostly have to guess which file you want to download or download all files and delete the ones you didn't want. Only about half the time will it find all media on a webpage. It's really good at finding the ads. The ads are also super prevalent and usually have three different screens you have to wait and click out of.
