Private Downloader app review: easily download videos and music free and legally

Introduction

Standing out in the incredibly overcrowded genre of file downloader utilities is this comprehensive iPhone and iPad app that enables you to very easily browse the web, and download an unlimited quantity of videos and music free and legally.

This isn’t exactly what I would describe as being particularly above and beyond what is usually offered up in an app of this kind, but there are definitely some “Frankenstein’s monster” developments in the Utilities category of the App Store, and Private Downloader is definitely not one of these.

This app features a very slickly designed interface with a wonderful layout and some very cool features in general, so if you’re looking for an easy way of downloading free videos and music from the Internet then I would definitely recommend checking out this little gem.

I'll Be Your Private Downloader...

I would say that the core feature of Private Downloader - Free Music & Free Video Download is the integrated web browser. You can use this to browse any websites as you ordinarily would with Safari, but with the added bonus of being able to download more of what you find.

The download manager is the next link in the chain, so to speak, and will enable you to very easily track the files you’re currently downloading. It’s worth noting as well that this app makes it a cinch to either stream or download media, and I’ve found it to be far more user-friendly than Safari as a whole.

 

Find, Download, Manage, and Watch Videos

As you might expect from a downloader app worth its salt, Private Downloader also features an in-app media player that you can use to play all of the files you download. Airplay is also supported, so you can easily stream videos to your Apple TV if you prefer to watch things on a bigger screen.

This app also acts as a very handy file management system, enabling you to sort all of your downloads into various folders and subfolders.

What’s more, you’ll be pleased to know that Private Downloader features passcode-protection, so you’ll be able to keep your more, shall we say, sensitive downloads safely away from prying eyes!

Final Words

Private Downloader - Free Music & Free Video Download doesn’t really offer anything super special in the way of functionality, but I really, really like the style of the interface.

In a genre of iPhone and iPad apps where the features are more or less identical, this can definitely make or break the enjoyment of the user-experience, so this app definitely receives a strong recommendation from me.
