Been messing with Vidow for the past few weeks, and it’s basically your one-stop-shop for downloading videos from all over the internet. Pretty straightforward stuff – you paste a link, pick the quality you want, and hit download. Works with most social media sites and video platforms I’ve tried it with.
You’ve got this built-in browser that makes things super easy – just browse to whatever video you want and the app automatically detects it. There’s support for different formats like MP4, AVI, and even M4A for audio. Plus it can handle multiple downloads at once, which is pretty handy when you’re batch downloading stuff.
Look, if you’re someone who likes to save videos for offline viewing, this’ll probably do the trick. It’s not the prettiest app out there, and yeah, sometimes it can be a bit slow, but it gets the job done. Been using it mainly for downloading tutorial videos to watch later, and for that kind of thing, it’s actually pretty solid.
You know how video downloaders can be kinda sketchy sometimes? I’ve tested a bunch of them, and Vidow’s actually one of the better ones out there. And sure, the interface isn’t winning any design awards (honestly, it looks like it’s stuck in 2015), but it’s reliable. The built-in browser’s a nice touch – way better than jumping between apps like I used to.
What I really dig is how it handles different video qualities. You’re not stuck with just one option like some other downloaders. And it’s pretty cool that you can grab just the audio if that’s what you want. The download manager’s decent too – lets you pause and resume downloads if your connection gets wonky.
That said, the ads are pretty in-your-face if you’re using the free version. And some sites just don’t work with it anymore (thanks to their anti-download updates). Still, for what it is, it’s not bad at all.
