SurFast Video Downloader Reviews

I have edited this review and added my comments above my original post.
1 - that settings button on the bottom of the screen in the screenshot of the google docs does show me much more context in the settings. I do not see that at all on my monitor, which you state you will be creating a dynamic screen in the next release, that means I should the elements I am missing.

2 - I think it would help if you changed your wording - download immediately after tracking has no context in me understanding it means - downloading everything. I believe this is a language issue and that I understand can be difficult to translate easily. - Something like, 'click here to download full channel' would tell me to uncheck it. Does that make sense?

Nothing I said was 'false' or attempting to compare you directly with 4Kdownloader. I bought your product with genuine anticipation. That 'settings' button being down the bottom when I can't even see the icons is part of your problem.

I have purchased tens of thousands of dollars of software, some expensive, some not, and I am in the developing environment myself. Hurt feelings don't cut it. I do appreciate your input and will consider that when I see the next release.

One extra star for effort, even though for me, nothing has changed.

I'll be honest, I've been using the 4k Downloader suite for some time and recently it's gone a bit flakey - I guess YT is consistently updating their efforts to foil downloaders who don't sign in.

I bought this with the expectation of having a similar, maybe better outcome.

It is lacking so many features that I was used to, which I don't think are unreasonable.
1 - downloading a channel from this point forward, not the whole back catalogue. Truly - if someone has 3,000 videos, and it's 1tb probably of content, and you've not got 17 light years to watch it, then why not have an option to ask. .. Subscribe, Subscribe and download all, and Subscribe and download future videos.

2 - Where on earth do the videos go? Some parts of the product have got an identifying place, others I can't work out where to view it. I've looked several times, maybe it was a boy look, I don't know but it wasn't logical enough for me to navigate through intuitively to find out where it was downloaded.

3 - So, I'm testing to find out if I can download a play list - but it doesn't give context of folder of who the play list belongs to.

4 - I have a 50" monitor - it's set to have slightly larger font and when the program opens, it opens always below the windowand I can't minimise it at all to see if there is something on the bottom I'm missing out on. Maybe I'm being petty, but is it possible all these things are hidden somewhere I am not looking? I"ll never know, because I can't pull that fixed window up. I get a sneak of the tops of the icons I recognise as being fb, yt, insta maybe? I don't know I can't see it so it's just a myth to me.

5 - When I click tracking, and then set my download time, and then look for downloading or downloaded, it comes back to folder of files that aren't actually in the context window of the channel I'm looking at downloading.

6 - where is the overview of where my files get downloaded to? I would have expected some 'settings' to allow me to choose a folder, or give me some context as to what I've downloaded in some sort of order.

What's good about it -

The speed is pretty good but that's because all I can do is add in individual videos unless I want to download the internet in one large dump because if I add in all my current channels I am subscribed to but it wants to download everything I already have. It's simplicity is good for the non thinking, non creative apple users who might believe that less is best and the developer who created pretty icons knows it all.
I'd have settled for a little less pretty, but leaving some thinking and options to the end user - like... where will my downloads be stored. ... I think even an apple user would like that

I think those who are stating it's the bees knees and best they've ever had have not used or paid for 4K downloader which also has an insta, ticktok can download fb and other videos although not subscribe to them.

I think it's only value will be the amount of sites it can parse and download individually, and I'll still continue to test it for the next 60 days, and if it resolves some of my other difficult downloads I have experienced, then it's good for a backup but as really good product, I'll reserve my opinion on that.

Yeah I know I sound a bit snarky but I'm an old frt.... I have expectations and the reviews read so well I got sucked in. I'll try to like it because there are not alot of consistently updated good products when it comes to video downloads. .... and why do I download them and not watch them online, because I hate being part of the algorithms and this is just another nice way to stop the giants from following me around the interwebs.

I have tried many free and paid and this is the first one that works with the Private browser window style download, the one where you can download private videos (of course that you have access to). Some other products have it but it just was not able to retrieve the file.

Previously I had to use OBS to record the screen and the sound was somehow always inferior to the original video despite manually setting the settings to highest. I also had to make sure to stop the recording and/or cut the video, enter the files name manually and whatnot.

This saves me time and also increases the quality of the videos.

Being able to download these videos is really all the features I need from this application.

Thanks!

Bought the coupon and forgot to redeem, the team was very helpful. The product is also very user friendly and easy to use. Easily download videos from many channel including youtube. Highly recommended. Thanks!!!!!!!

I have been using this since bought, and it has made my life so much easy. I mostly need to download tutorials or lectures and needed at-least 1080p videos while mostly free tools out there only provide 720p support. So, It is really easy to download 1080p videos either of lectures/tutorials or songs of course.

The Clipping feature is really cool. Previously I have to share a small part of video with some I have to ask them to start from this timeline till this timeline. Now, I simply clip the video and share it with them. And also I need few clipping for myself as well where previously I have to download the complete video and then use a cutter to do the clipping.

The Tracking feature is my favorite as now I don't have to keep tabs on accounts. Also there are tools out there that allows you to download playlist or say tiktok profile all at one but you still have to update it manually over time. But with this tracking, it do all the work.

Just looking for more tracking options like instagram with also the story download option. I would love to see it. And I hope they introduce it soon. Also an android and web version would be a plus.

I am completely obsessed with this tool! Not only has it made downloading my favorite YouTube videos much easier, but songs that I need to play without Internet access has been a breeze now that I have surfast! Five tacos and more all day long from me!
