# Free MP3 Downloader 1.3.0.0
Those who want a simple, no-frills utility that can get the job done can take for a test drive # Free MP3 Downloader, a dedicated app that searches, plays and lets you keep the songs.
Easy to use and fairly appealing interface
This application comes with some neat backgrounds that change every time you close and open it. The graphics are decent, while the way in which the content is organized makes it very easy for you to go through all the categories and listed songs.
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.
Some prompts to try other applications also come into view, but these can be deactivated with a couple of taps, unlike the reminders that ask you to rate and review # Free MP3 Downloader.
Search or browse the music database on the fly
The application has an easy to use MP3 finder that you can use by writing the name of the track or of the artist and the results will start pouring in a few instants. There is also a dedicated "Search" section from were you can pick the type of music to discover and check out the suggestions offered by # Free MP3 Downloader.
The "Bilboard 100" and "Top 100 artist" areas are also some good starting points for those who are looking for specific songs or musicians. 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.
Play audio tracks and video clips or save the songs on the spot
This app is ready to offer you some basic playback features, enabling you to listen to a selected music track and you can also check out the video with one tap, in the resolution you choose from the ones that are available.
The downloader component works pretty well and supports several concurrent transfers. The operations are resumed automatically and the audio files are transferred automatically in your music library.

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
Thanks to a good feature set, this utility scores pretty well, as it has a smart search, audio and video playback capabilities and a solid downloader. The categorization of the songs could be improved and some extra controls for the playback would be welcomed. |
Security7
# Free MP3 Downloader is a bit too curious as it peeks into several sensitive areas of the system for no apparent reason. |
Battery3
The app is very thirsty for power, so it will completely drain the battery after only a few hours of continuous usage. |
Price8
There are some serious drawbacks, but the application is still worth trying as it compensates to a certain extent through features and ease of use. |
Compatibility8
Made to work on the more modern handsets on the market, the utility requires a Windows Phone 8 and above device to function properly. |
