Ratings and Reviews
It works!
It does what it says. However, it is not super clear on how it works. I would have given it 5 stars if they would make the interface just a little more clear. If you do not get the correct link it will just sit there. So at first I was stumped. I had not clicked on the proper portion. You need to make sure you are copying and pasting the piece that is actually the command to downloadn it will instantly start. So if it does not you are using the incorrect link.
Awesome App for what we use it for
When we need to download 1,000s of book covers to design a catalog we use this it saves us hours of time.
Perfect download app
This app does exactly what it is supposed to do and does it perfectly. There had not been a day that I don’t use this lil’ app.
