When trying to download a video, it says some of the operations requires a companion app. i.e., It wants you to install a exe software for the browser plugin to work, and what's worse is this requirement isn't for 'some operations'. It's required for any and all operations I tried with a JWPlayer video.

never works asks me to download an external program literally every time I try to use it which I download. When it finally does work there's a huge ugly qr code on the file. Either make it a paid program or ask for donations but this is the worst of both worlds. zero stars

suck

This was a great browser extension until the developer stupidly forced all users to encode videos they downloaded with QR Codes. That change ruined the product. As for the current mobile extension, it does not allow you to select the bitrate of the video you want when a site has multiple versions of the same video.

It cannot just download video from youtube, it always tries to convert it. Conversion is slow. It adds ugly stamp on any video.

This used to be a simple, reliable add-on but that is no longer the case. Now, any attempt to download video files off anything other than Youtube redirects to a page that is blank save for a graphic reading: "This operation requires an external application to be completed. Install companion app." It doesn't provide any information on what this "companion app." even is. What a load of crap. I am so disappointed. I thought you were better than this.

Was great until recently. They're now force-including QR codes on high-res videos. Greedy idiots can keep their shitty product.

Make your money fine, but we don't care for the QR code or any forced watermark on videos, and I'm not buying no matter how much it's shoved in my face. Downloadhelper was once free, and it's the only reason I used it. Now, it's rendered useless with the last update, and VERY SLOW. Goodbye, and learn something from the negative reviews. /uninstall

It was very slow processing a small file and never did finish the larger ones. Pretty much gave up on it and uninstalled it after a couple of days.

The ads were very hard on my limited bandwidth in this rural broadband challenged area.

external app required, full hd paid

This is now a paid addon.

It should be clearly mentioned somewhere. I lost my time, thinking that it was a free addon, like some years ago.
Now, for most actions, an additional software needs to be installed. This software adds a QR Code inside the videos unless you pay $28.50 USD or €18.50.

I think this kind of addon should not be allowed for a free and open source browser.

Absolute garbage. It inserts a giant QR code on top of the video and at NO point in the process does it actually mention this. I don't mind monetizing software but this just wasted my time. On top of that, the conversion process took over 4 hours for a 30 min 1080p video on a 16 core high end machine. Garbage.

La aplicación es de 10, pero que tengas que pagar para que no salga una marca de agua en los videos no lo es. Por lo tanto .... una estrella y porque no puedo poner 0.
20 euros de aplicación, menuda locura.

Embeds a QR code over any video you download. Inevitably ends up asking to install extra software 'to help' with saving to disk. Feels scammy.

After 3 hours downloading, I saw it has placed a QR-code in the video.
It should've been made clear before, but I did not find any hint to that.
Really annoying

atualmente os vídeos da globo tem esta extensão que não deixa baixar pelo dowload helper como antes: ghtml

Was 5 star. After the latest update, it takes 300% to 600% longer for each download. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Technik okay, aber die Umsetzung ist furchtbar!!! INzwischen von Schwachmaten völlig kaputtprogrammiert! Übersicht NULL, Bedienung NULL, Funktion auch nur noch NULL! Wozu ein MP4-Video konvertiert werden muß? Keine Ahnung...

DAzu Extra-Software nötig - wofür eigentlich???

Und ein "Wasserzeichen oben in der Ecke? Sagt mal, hackts bei Euch eigetnlich???
