HQ Music Downloader 1.2.0.0
HQ Music Downloader is one of these tools and it is especially made to serve Windows Phone users who want to save their songs directly in the music library of their mobile devices.
Straightforward interface, with a decent design
The friendly interface of this application has a decent look, not too flashy and most of all focused on practicality. The main menu offers instant access to the numerous sections of the app and moving back and forth through the GUI has a smooth feel to it.
The major hindrances from the visual standpoint come from countless ads that appear in full screen and also as animated banners, which keep on changing in the upper part of the screen.
Also, there are some reminders that prompt you to rate and review HQ Music Downloader, while others offer third-party apps that are ready for you to download and try.
View top tracks and artists or search for music
The dedicated sections that contain the most listened to songs for various music categories come as a good helper for all those interested in finding quickly the top choices of most users worldwide.
The "Hot", "Recent", "Newest" and "Billboard100" areas are some good starting points for those who are looking for specific songs or artists. The utility is also able to display in a separate section the audio files stored onto your device, so you have the entire music library at hand.
The search engine moves pretty quickly and displays the results momentarily, so you can view the tracks and artists that match the terms of your query.
Play and save songs on your Windows Phone
This application allows you to play the songs on the spot, so in case you get several entries for the same track, you can pick the one that sounds best of the lot.
Downloading the files is pretty fast and the app automatically resumes the transfers if you move away from the utility before the song is saved in full. An advantage of this application is the ability to select the audio quality for the playback and download procedures.
A neat thing about HQ Music Downloader is that it sends the songs directly inside the Music Hub on your phone, so no supplementary transfer operations are needed.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The nice appearance of the application is ruined by the aggressive advertisements and pesky prompts that can make the experience quite unpleasant. |
Function9
This utility is quick in getting the songs and users can download files inside the Music library. The ability to play the tracks before transferring them is a welcomed plus. |
Security7
The app requires access to a couple of areas of the system where it shouldn't look into, namely the phone dialer, as well as the owner and phone identities. |
Battery3
HQ Music Downloader is very thirsty for power, so it will completely drain the battery after only a few hours of continuous usage. |
Price8
All the features provided are free of cost and the only drawback comes from the adverts that require a purchase to be gone. |
Compatibility9
Suitable for Windows Phone 8 and above handsets, this application doesn't have any special requirements. |
