2022-06-04 | Michelle Hynes | It is an initial impression abnd willing to upgrade my rating. The extension says it downloading media but I cant find the file anywhere. I have my default folder set correctly. I really want this to work! | ||

2022-05-28 | Randi DuFresne | I wish it worked for me. Can't figure out why it doesn't. Put the extension on Chrome - didn't work. Removed it and tried again, followed instructions, nothing happens. Frustrating. | ||

2022-03-26 | markinsydney | Chrome, PC, March 2022. You MUST be on the Photos or Stories tab (not All Media) for this extension to work. It worked a treat and all my media has been downloaded. Thank you Jereme for this great contribution to geneology. | ||

2022-01-01 | Kiwi Steve | Does what it says on the box - saved me a ton of work. The only annoyance, which I think is a Chrome thing and Firefox might be better here - I had to click SAVE for each file it downloaded - I just sat there and clicked as each one came up... no biggie, but slightly annoying - I just don't think thats a big price to pay for being able to get all the media from my tree so I can start using an offline program (trying Family Historian 7) and start saving myself hundreds of dollars a year on Ancestry fees! Thanks Dev, this is awesome. | ||

2021-08-26 | Michael O'Connell | I gave it 4-star because it started as a 5-star then, I believe that Ancestry caught on and blocked it. This was on a Mac running OSmac High Sierra. Has anyone else experienced Ancestry shutting this extension down? Any ideas on how to get around that? | ||
