All users of iPad we have thought on occasion that it would be great be able to download files when we are surfing the internet. Many completely free files like PDF, MP3, photos, videos are rejected by our iPad. In order to do this we need an application that manages these downloads and then takes care of reproducing them, since iPad will not receive them as it is not part of iTunes. Without these types of applications, the only thing we can do is go to a PC, download those files and then sync them in iTunes. With videos it is even more annoying since you have to change their format. We all know that this is part of Apple's content policy, which wants you to extract or pay for all content from iTunes. In return, it gives you many advantages and peace of mind because the contents will be perfectly clean.
Of all the applications that serve to download files with iPad, I would like to highlight iDownloaderPro. This application has been around for some time but has recently been updated. Is similar to Files, but we believe that it is more powerful and complete and above all cheaper.
Actually iDownloader Pro is a browser, with the same appearance as Safari, which at the same time has a download manager, more a file manager y a file player. Let's say it is a Swiss army knife that allows the download of all types of files and a management with many options, including playback. It is used in a very simple way, when we have a file in front of us that we want to download, we click on it and accept it in the dialog box that appears automatically. You can download videos from Youtube and Vimeo en wav y mp4. Also download mp3, doc,, xls, ppt, txt, html, webarchive and rtf. The HTML download option is great because it allows you to view the pages offline later.
When we download music we automatically rename the songs with the name of the song and the artist, so that we can easily recognize the file later.
You can download up to 50 files at a time. And if you are connected with 3G you can download files up to 20 megabytes. In addition, if you go offline, the download does not break, but resumes perfectly as soon as we have it again.
The good thing is that not only does it open all these files when they have been downloaded from your browser, but it can also open files from other applications. And each player has plugins. Those of video and music can generate playlists with memory and sortable and the photo allows make presentations.
It has some very cool details like that store your records on websites and directly enter your username and password without you having to do anything.
The file manager can be connected to the PC or MAC via USB and is capable of managing iTunes File Sharing as well.
Its price has dropped to 1,59 Euros with the latest update. There is a free version which may be good for you to try but, of course, it does not have as many resources as this one.
Buy iDownloader Pro for 1,59 euros on iTunes.
