Music Downloader unlimited 1.7.0.319
Those who want a simple, no-frills utility that can get the job done can try out Music Downloader unlimited, a dedicated utility that searches, plays and lets you keep the songs.
Practical front-end, with a decent look
This utility is presented with a simple interface, lacking visually appealing elements and focusing on practicality rather than looks. The songs are neatly organized in several categories for you to choose from and the navigation through the lists and menus is smooth at all times.
The nice album images and other pictures displayed inside the various modules of this app are in contrast with the tiles on the main screen that are of a lesser quality and also with the bothersome adverts that follow you in most areas of the utility.
Also, from time to time you will come to face some prompts to rate and review Music Downloader unlimited, which can be closed with a single tap.
Go through the singles charts or query the database on the fly
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 search function works well, but, unfortunately, the song database seems somewhat limited as it doesn't include some top hits or artists from a few years back.
Insofar as the online tops you can access from Music Downloader unlimited, you should note that these are not up to date charts, but rather reflect the user preferences on a global scale.
Fast downloads and transfers to the local storage
This application allows you to play the songs on the spot, as son as you tap on any item on the list of results, so in case you get several entries for the same track, you can pick the one that sounds best of the lot.
Saving the music files locally is done very quickly and from the dedicated area inside this utility you can view the downloaded items and transfer them in the Music hub onto your phone.
Sharing the songs can be done with one tap on the dedicated button, but you should be careful with this function because it sends out your device ID, carrier and firmware version, all of these included in the generated link that is included in the email, SMS or other message you want to send.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The plain GUI cannot the customized and the only things that stand out are the disconcerting ads that come as flashing banners and in full screen. |
Function7
The downloading component of this app is pretty solid as it performs very well, but there are no playback controls and the song database is quite limited. |
Security7
The utility is a bit too curious, as it requires access to the appointments, owner and phone identities for no good reason and it even sends out system details when sharing links. |
Battery5
While running, this application will need a considerable amount of energy, so the battery usage remains pretty high at all times. |
Price9
All the features provided by Music Downloader unlimited are free of cost and the only drawback comes from the adverts. |
Compatibility9
Only the more recent handsets can have this app up and running as it needs at least Windows Phone 8 installed onto the device. |
