Cartoons Downloader 1.3.0.0
For those who want to use their Windows Phone devices to let the young ones enjoy episodes of their favorite series or even full animation movies a utility like Cartoons Downloader could prove a real asset.
Functional but unappealing GUI
The utility comes with an unadorned look, as its graphics are pretty simple and lacking the visual appeal many would expect from such an app.
The functions are all in plain sight and moving from one section of the application into the other is quite smooth. Understanding what each button does might require trying them out first because there are no labels attached to any of them.
A major bother you will come across when using Cartoons Downloader is the presence of the advertisement banners and there are also a lot of prompts to rate and review the app, as well as some for trying out other apps.
Fast query and playback
The application is equipped with an efficient search function that enables you to look for the cartoons you want to load and play. The results are very quick in coming up and there is an option you can check in order to have only the HD quality videos shown.
Cartoons Downloader can display the movies in both portrait and landscape modes and the first one has the advantage of allowing you to carry out other searches and browse the list of results without having to stop the currently playing video.
The unregistered version will only play 80% of the movie is available for viewing and when this threshold is reached you will be asked to either purchase the Pro version or try out some other application made by the same developer.
Effortless downloading and playlist support
This app makes it possible for you to easily transfer the desired clips inside its local database and thus have them ready for playing even when an Internet connection is not available.
You can have several videos downloading in the same time and with a single tap you can mark any clips you like and have them sent to the list of favorites. Also, you can put together playlists in a simple manner and have your kids watch them in the order you decide.

Bottom Line
Design / UI5
The appearance of Cartoons Downloader is less attractive and more focused on practicality, but there are a lot of nuisances that users will have to put up with. |
Function9
Even if some videos will not open, the other features provided by this app are very good and function pretty well. |
Security9
The utility remains pretty discreet while functioning, since it requires access only to the phone identity. |
Battery3
The application needs a lot of energy to run, so the massive power consumption makes the battery usage remain at very high values. |
Price8
The videos can be searched and added to playlists for free, but the full playback is conditioned by a purchase or by the installation of other their-party apps. |
Compatibility10
Cartoons Downloader is ready to run on most Windows Phone devices as the only requirement is that version 7.5 or higher of the OS is present. |
