Ratings and Reviews
Pretty good. But abondoned by developer?
The scheduler is not ideal. You cannot cross the midnight hour. So if your ISP is best between 10 and 6 at night, you have to choose to just use 12 to 6, for example. Luckily this doesn't create many problems for me, but it is not ideal.
The estimated time to download completion is almost useless. A five minute estimate might take an hour, or vice versa, and seems largely unrelated to download speeds.
And the developer hasn't been around to make an update for five or six years, so even if you get the Pro upgrade (which is definitely faster if you have good broadband since it opens so many more similtaneous connections) I can't imagine how one gets support. The link to the developers web site is dead and there is no other contact info.
SOOOOO, why four stards anyway? Well, it has a fine and fully funcitonal FREE version. It works better than just about any other free version on the app store. And the upgraded version is a cheap upgrade and works even better.
So it is far from perfect but it is the best option on the app store. I am super surprised Apple hasn't pulled it due to lack of updates, but I'm glad to still have access.
Auto start
It was better if we had the pop up on our brower to auto start instead of adding it each time.
The rest is perfect.
Great app!... forgotten?
This is truly one of the best third-party apps I've got on my computer! Not to say that iDownloader is the best and fastest (OK, if not fastest, then the most optimistic) free download manager!
But, sadly, the latest update was a long time ago - 6 years! With the latest OS versions, the app would greatly benefit from a UI change, including more features, such as a download indicatior in the Dock (like in Google Chrome.)
