Super Downloader Free app review: download absolutely anything you want from the Internet directly to your iPhone

Reviews

Introduction

If you frequently come across things on the Internet that you’d like to download but are unable to because you’re using your iPhone, then never fear because Super Downloader Free is here to solve all of your file downloading woes!

The best apps for finding free WiFi for iPhone

This appears to be a fairly run-of-the-mill downloader and download manager app, and I’m pleased to see that the developer has adopted a rather basic or generic approach to the visual design and layout of the interface. This makes it very easy to navigate your downloads and keep them neat and tidy.

Download 'Em All?

The first thing you’ll see when you first start using Super Downloader Free (download photo, image, video, movie, music, mp3 and save) is the main Browse section which is essentially an in-app web browser that will enable you to hunt for the files you want and begin downloading them.

The best browsers for iPad

The first thing I noticed is that this app seems to be able to load web pages very quickly, which is something I’ve found to be somewhat lacking in similar apps, although this is obviously going to be dependent on the quality of your Internet connection.

According to the How to Download instructions within the app, all you have to do is “Tap an image or link and hold for seconds until an action sheet pops up. Select downloading the image or link content.” In testing this for the first time, Super Downloader Free crashed completely, so that doesn’t seem too promising!

 

Look Elsewhere

I’m a little unsure of exactly what level of functionality is available in this free version of the app because the only option I am being given is to download the Link Content, so it appears that images cannot be directly downloaded unless you upgrade to the paid version.

Best iphone and ipad apps

While this app does contain a decent enough web browser, and while the file and download manager features are more than adequate, you really will need to pay for the full version if you want to be able to access the full functionality.

With that said, I would recommend opting for a different file downloader app because there are plenty of similar developments available that will provide all the functionality you need completely free of charge, with further in-app purchases going above and beyond what Super Downloader Free appears to offer.

 

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Smooth in-app web browser
  • Download link content from within the app
  • Extensive file and download management features

 

Cons

  • An upgrade to the full version of this app will be required if you want to download many different file types
  • Unexpected crash suggests possible stability issues

 

Final Words

I personally wouldn’t bother with Super Downloader Free (download photo, image, video, movie, music, mp3 and save) because of the reasons I have mentioned above.
