- Rated 1 out of 5by giorsky, 4 years ago*Slow as hell, and misleading*
After you spend half an hour downloading your 1-hour video (on a Gigabit Internet connection), and get lied to and tricked to install their program on your computer, you find out there is a giant QR code square covering a good chunk of your screen - and now they want money.
Which would be fine if I knew upfront I had to pay for this. - Rated 1 out of 5by Nikita, 4 years agoRandomly stops detecting videos on sites like Udemy.
In-fact, after working fine on Udemy, it now doesn't even detect a video. - Rated 1 out of 5by Stephen, 4 years agoUnnecessarily over-complicated. Converted 4k video and the quality was extremely low even though the file size was extremely large. Video looked extremely muddy. No mention of needing to pay until I had spent 10 minutes downloading a video. Put a huge unbranded QR watermark in the corner that is incredibly intrusive. Companion app was a pain to uninstall because the name of the program in windows is completely unrelated to what they call it when you download it. Also pegged my CPU (Ryzen 7 5800x) for an extreme amount of resources that is normally not used for software like this. I specified a folder destination in the save menu on my (F:) Drive as that is where I store media for projects (I am an editor). Instead the 500MB file was saved to my C: Drive which is a boot SSD that is storage limited and does not have a file structure that is convenient for my profession. Overall just extremely terrible. There are open source programs that work a million times better than this and are completely free and transparent in their development.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13896239, 4 years agoI just installed the extension and this ask to download an installer as well, followed all the steps and when I try to download a video it doesn't, hit the "download" and never download and keep saying it's a problem downloading. Waste of time, I will keep trying another one.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17046206, 4 years agoLame, once upon a time, you could just click , download, save and go on with your life. All this companion crap and Barcodes this screw that. Uninstalled for life.
- Rated 1 out of 5by luxus224, 4 years agoGarbage. The options menu is waaay to complicated. I downloaded a video but I can't figure out if it downloaded it or not. Where does this extension even save the videos (if it saves them at all)?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17075287, 4 years agoI'd leave a review for this terrible addon, but the companion app is required for me to do so, just like this app requires to do ANYTHING.
That's no longer a plugin, and this is a steaming turd. Stay away. - Rated 1 out of 5by Kess, 4 years agoUsed to work just fine, perfectly. I loved it. Now it demand to install an add-on companion app that I DO NOT need, cuz it won't download and just doesn't work. Can't do anything with it now. Sucks. Please fix this and you'll get people back.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gn. Cx, 4 years agoRequires unsigned companion app install, forces re-encoding of sources in your own machine to superimpose nag QR on video.
- Rated 1 out of 5by retired_guru, 4 years agoBeen a long-time user of this add-on, until recently, when the companion app required library files newer than my most current version of a major linux distro can support. And previously you had a choice between using the browser and the app. Not so now. Add-on useless. You've dropped many users due to these latest changes.

- Rated 1 out of 5by BarryZombie, 4 years agoWorthless. Everything I try to download tells me I need to download a companion app. Screw that.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mark, 4 years agoCrap. Ask you to download a companion app. and then that companion app ask you to pay. DO NOT INSTALL.
- Rated 1 out of 5by waif, 4 years agoпосле VDP: Best Video Downloader, Video DownloadHelper полный отстой. при загрузке мр3 все файлы приходится переименовывать
- Rated 1 out of 5by Antonis, 4 years agoIt is useless. The video format is unplayable and you need to convert it. Conversion puts a stupid HUGE QR code in the corner of the video unless you pay for the conversion. Totally useless.
