User Reviews

User feedback is mixed. Many praise the catalog size, the rent-or-buy flexibility, and some note responsive support. However, repeated issues with stability, library syncing, search reliability, update-induced incompatibilities, and problematic download/purchase flows dominate the reviews.
Pros
  • Wide catalog with a large selection of titles.
  • Flexible rent-or-buy options.
  • Responsive customer support and quick issue resolution.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and overall instability (crashes, freezes, JSON errors).
  • Library not loading or empty, purchases not syncing across devices, wishlist inaccessible.
  • Search functionality is broken or unreliable (inability to search by author/title, search bar disappearing).
  • Update/compatibility issues (new updates break features, compatibility problems with older iOS versions).
  • Download/purchase flow problems (downloads fail, need to repurchase after updates, license/invalid content errors).

I can’t even get the app to work now. I kept getting some kind of connection error which made no sense. And now, after purchasing a new item the app refuses to load.

Downpour recently made changes to their platform. It went from 100% reliable to garbage. There was no warning. The app still doesn’t work properly. I can’t see my wishlist from the app, can’t search for new titles in the app, and I have to do everything online from their website. I’ve signed in and out of the app and deleted and redownloaded the app. If you buy a new title from their website it won’t automatically load into your list of purchased titles on the app. I have to delete the app and download it again for any new purchase to show up. This is absolute garbage!!
