Rated 3 out of 5
by Papa Picasso, a year agoDI like it for the most part. The only issues I have is that it doesn't seem to work on all site and doesn't always download the entire video.

- Rated 1 out of 5by SMR, an hour agoIt appears this software does not download YouTube videos, based on my experience with version 9.5.0.2. I found that no videos were detected on YouTube pages.

- Rated 1 out of 5by q66, 2 days agoexcellent module , pratique et efficace, le seul souci c'est que parfois la vidéo en français est traduite en anglais de manière inopportune, sinon pas de souci de téléchargement. Parfois au bout d'un certain nombre de téléchargements il n'est plus possible de continuer, cette limitation me "gâche le plaisir", dommage

- Rated 1 out of 5by The Red Pill, 3 days agoThe newly required Lifetime License fee to remove the QR code should be fairly priced at $4.99
The 'Red Pill' Reality: the 'engine' doing the heavy lifting (downloading & converting) is still just FFmpeg, which is free, open-source software built by volunteers. You are essentially paying $30 for lifetime access to a dashboard that drives a free car.
To be fair to the Developer: Paul and his team built a very polished Link Sniffer and a nice UI. They also updated the 'Companion App' to handle HLS streams smoothly. For a non-technical user, this convenience has some value.
Why $4.99 is the fair price: You are paying for the convenience of not using a command line. That is worth a cup of coffee ($5), not the price of a full premium indie video game ($30).
How to do it yourself for free (The steps they don't want you to know): If you have 5 minutes, you can replicate this 'Premium' functionality for $0:
Option A (Web-based & Clean): Use cobalt[dot]tools. Unlike other sites, it has NO ads and NO trackers. (Pro Tip: Smart users run uBlock Origin anyway, which makes the free web safer than many paid apps).
Option B (Power User):
Install 'The Stream Detector' (Firefox addon) to sniff the links just like this extension does.
Click it -> select 'Copy yt-dlp command'.
Paste that into your terminal with yt-dlp (free open source).
A premium UI but the 'magic' is free elsewhere. Save your money unless you are allergic to keyboards. - Rated 3 out of 5by bakhman, 3 days agoIt works, but it has become more privacy invasive over time. Requires downloading a lot of random plug-ins.
