8 of 25Every time you push the button to re-download something it just closes up the app. Can someone fix it?
9.0 update that came out last night keeps crashing app when trying to open it.
I’ve been using it for years, best app ever!!!
Thus
Best app if you know how to use it.
I just bought an iPhone moved over from a Samsung because I didn’t have the money to buy the latest Samsung phone and as an avid downloader this is the worst downloader app I’ve ever come across, the only reason I have 2 stars is because it can actually do the job of downloading but the stress you’ll go through is large
The ability to search through folders and sub folders at the same time through the main search bar would put this app through the roof.
Works great and team is attentive of app updates
