## Review summary

Users praise Azul for offline downloads and travel use, but report repeated instability, broken downloads after updates, data loss, weak support, and frustrating UI changes. When working, it’s useful, but reliability and developer responsiveness are major concerns.

### Pros

- Offline downloads for watching videos without internet.
- Allows searching, downloading, and streaming when functioning.
- Direct YouTube downloads supported (noted by some reviewers).
- Helpful for travel with offline access to media.

### Cons

- Crashes during download or playback, causing instability.
- Update-related breakages that disable downloads or connectivity.
- Data loss: files deleted or overwritten, loss of videos.
- Poor or non-responsive developer support.
- UI/UX changes that remove familiar features (e.g., 15-second skip, folders/list view) or miscategorize the app.
