Music Downloader Free 3.0.0.5
Those who want a simple and easy to use utility that can get the job done fast, Music Downloader Free is one of the dedicated apps that can help them find, plays and keep the songs, so highlight just a few of the abilities this tool has in store.
Easy to use GUI, with a neat layout
This utility comes with a pretty simple interface, that seems focused more on functionality rather than good looks. Nonetheless, the decent graphics and very well thought organization of the content are not the only advantages.
The backgrounds are stretched versions of the album art pictures that are displayed all through the app, but this enlargement has negative effects on the quality, so the images are less smooth. The content remains neatly organized in several categories for you to choose from, while the navigation through the lists and menus is smooth at all times.
The major hindrances from the visual standpoint come from countless ads that appear as animated banners, which keep on changing in the upper part of the screen. Some prompts to try other applications and a few reminders that ask you to rate and review Music Downloader Free also appear here and there.
Find tracks and videos to play and save
The search function works well and the song database is pretty well stored especially since you can look for music on several MP3 download sites and this means you will get a lot of results in little time.
The YouTube query module is also equally responsive and prompt in providing content, so you will easily locate any song you want to listen. The playback controls are the basic ones you are already familiar with, for both audio and video files.
An interesting extra is the "Favorites" section where you can add webpages you want to access with one tap using the application's built-in Internet browser component.
Share music, create playlists and more
The download for any of the selected items is fast and once the tracks are saved inside the app's local storage, you will be able to transfer them into the Music library.
Music Downloader Free allows you to create playlists on the spot and add the saved tracks, while the "Ringtone" section contains several categories in which you will find a plethora of audio tracks you can use to replace the default call and message alert sounds.
There is even a dedicated MP3 editor inside the app and you can access it by selecting the "Set as ringtone" function from the menu that appears after pressing for a couple of seconds on any downloaded song.
Links to the videos or audio tracks you find with this utility can be sent out to friends via SMS, email or social networks, thanks to the sharing abilities of the app.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The appearance of this tool is good, with some nice graphics, but the quality of the images inside is lower than expected and there are lost of ads and prompts. |
Function9
Thanks to a good feature set, this utility scores very well and it would need some extra controls for the playback to become close to complete. |
Security7

The app is very thirsty for power, so it will completely drain the battery after a few hours of continuous usage. |

All the functions are offered freely and the only costs related to this application are those regarding the advertisement removal. |
Compatibility10
