User Reviews

Reviewers frequently cite high-quality downloads and permanent offline saving with privacy as major pros, but repeatedly note reliability problems, pro-subscription gatekeeping, and login issues as cons. Support is often slow or unresponsive. The most mentioned points are quality, offline save, privacy, and the recurring instability and access barriers.

Pros

Delivers high-quality downloads that preserve the original video quality.
Allows permanent saving/bookmarking for offline access and keeping stories beyond expiry.
Provides privacy by enabling anonymous viewing and downloads without notifying others.
Supports saving multiple content types (stories, posts, reels) and remains effective when functioning.

Cons

Reliability issues: app frequently stops working, loads inconsistently, or cannot load content.
Gating by subscription: many core features require Pro and users report lockouts or confusion about pricing.
Login/sign-in problems and being logged out, leading to inability to access saved content.
Slow or unresponsive customer support or lack of timely responses from developers.
