Very fast downloads and good results. Occasional issues with downloads perhaps due to the download target formats changing but corrected quickly when asked. Best download program I have used.

As a certified non-geek

As a certified non-geek, need it really easy kind of guy "SnapDownloader " was made for cats like me! Any program or app I use has to be ultra user friendly and SNAP is that.

Plus the one time I was having problems and I emailed them, they got back to me the same day and the fix was of course easy and pretty much my fault. Alex was great in helping and I so appreciate that.

Thanks again - Chuck The DJ

I have been using Snap for many years. Heavy use as I download and load up my mp3 player so I can listen while doing my farm work. On the rare occasions that there had been an issue the developers soon address and fix it. I will continue to be a heavy user and appreciate the usability and the backing of the company.

I paid $40. It doesn't work. Requested help. IGNORED!

I paid $40. It said "downloading." It never did download. I explained the problem. They wrote:
Please provide the following details:
OS version (Windows 10, Windows 8, etc.)
SnapDownloader version
In addition, please attach the app's log files so we can troubleshoot the problem. The following tutorial shows how to locate the files:
P.S: Please provide all the information requested above so I can troubleshoot the issue.
​Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

I sent what they asked for 3 times and have been thoroughly ignored! They have my $40. I have nothing but a waste of my time.

After using SnapDownloader for years...

I've been using SnapDownloader for years now. This is by far the best downloader I've tested and the only one I'm keeping. Support is excellent and reacts fast on ( very rare ) problems you might encounter. Regular updates are keeping this software on the top of the list ! Try it, you'll love it !

If it works its 'ok', but it doesn't more than it does...

Running v.1.15.32 now and, as expected, after YT changed a byte, the whole thing no longer works... you can assume that after a Friday, the program will no longer do what it's supposed to do... from then it's just a matter of waiting for—hopefully—a quick update... If you are unlucky, there will be a new update from YT by the time you have an update of the software, and so you remain in the same situation... If it works its 'ok', but it doesn't work more than it does... frustrating!

For days I haven’t been able to download a single video, I always get the message: “Error 4001”nothing works, no other browser, no built-in browser. I also have the latest update. When will the downloader work again? Now I get the error message: "A problem occurred, error 1000". Nothing works anymore. When will the problem be fixed?

Unreliable

I had been using using the free version of Snap Downloader and then decided to buy the lifetime license. For three weeks or more it didn't work and I was on to support/customer service about the issue.

I supplied them with all the required information about the app log and tried urls etc... As well as that I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times, with no success.

About a week ago I unsubscribed, uninstalled the app, and requested a refund. To date I've had no reply.....

In the list of supported browsers on Snap Downloader - Google Chrome is conspicuous by it's absence, and I think that this, together with changes that utube are currently making, are the main reasons why the app doesn't download videos.

NO response to emails

I have been trying to contact snapdownloader for over 2 weeks, as I have no sound on my videos, they haven't replied at all. I do not recommend them as the support is terrible!

I got a reponse 5 weeks later, and the app is still not working. The response was after the company read my review.

Poor Performance

I purchased a lifetime license for SnapDownloader with the expectation of consistent, reliable performance. Unfortunately, the software has been unable to download many YouTube videos, including some that free applications manage without issue. This has been quite disappointing, especially given the paid “lifetime” commitment. I hope the development team addresses these limitations and improves the app’s functionality to meet the standards users expect.

Hi, we released another update today to fix bugs that caused YouTube downloads to end prematurely. Please update to v1.15.30 which should hopefully resolve your issue.

Simply does not work and has not been working for at least 9 days, says it can not decode Audio or Audio not present, and this is on videos I downloaded on the same desktop only two weeks ago, even after an update, still did not work, so I went and used 4K Downloader and guess what works and have to say very good Quality, Pity as I have a life license with Snapdownloader, having said when it works it is still the best for Quality.

Was great but now in decline

I got my SnapDownloader a few years ago. Up until just recently, I would have rated it 5, but recently the reliabilty and service have dropped markedly. In the past, if a particular website broke downloads, SnapDownloader would have a release out with this fixed within 2 days. Now, It has not been working on YouTube for a week and no update. Also, in the past, contacting support produced a response within 24 hours. Now queries go unanswered for days on end.

Edit: We've released the new update (v1.15.29). Please update via SnapDownloader or download the latest version from our website.

Hi Tony, our team is working on fixing the download issues with YouTube. YouTube has been making a lot of changes recently, which is why it takes some time for our team to release an update.

As for the delay in response, we receive a lot of email when YouTube downloads break, which is why we can't get back to everyone within 24 hours.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused! We expect an update to be released by Sept 30 or Oct 1.
