How do you download apps on your Mac? Most of us are more incline to download apps from the Mac App Store right? We thought that’s the safest and most convenient way to download software. However, App Store isn’t perfect. For some categories, it doesn’t have that much app for you to choose. For instance, the moment I searched ‘video downloader mac’ in the App Store, I found none of them could really meet my needs.
Put in detail, we are more likely to purchase an app that has reviews and ratings. Therefore, before making a purchase, we often consult reviews and ratings. In this case, only 9 of the total video downloader app have few ratings, and most of them only get 1 to 2 star(s). At this point, I almost won’t make a purchase between them. In addition, when you take a look at the app information, most of them haven’t been updated for years. Thus, I’m more convinced that I won’t purchase any of them.
Download online videos on Mac with ease. Download, convert and manage online videos like YouTube videos, VEVO videos, Facebook videos, etc. Watch online videos anytime anywhere at will.
Besides, when I look at the reviews of some video downloader app for mac, I notice that customers complain that those downloaders actually don’t work at all.
Well, look like I can’t find a satisfied video downloader app within the App Store. So, I decide to go to Internet. I spend several days to search a video downloader for mac. Though there are more choices out there, it still takes time to screen them. I’ve downloaded 6 video downloaders. Some are free video downloader for Mac, others are paid. While for those free video downloaders, most of them come with lots of ads, which make me feel really annoying and unreliable. As for pay video downloaders, all of them offer free trial. However, for some downloaders, key functions can only be unlocked by making a purchase. So, when I try AnyVid, I feel it’s so different with others. They provide me with a great experience during my free trial. The app has no ads and all functions are available. I do have a great experience with it. And there are more reasons that why I chose AnyVid.
