Top notch! I wanted wget, and this does exactly that. Used it 4 times so far, and just _know_ it will be a mainstay.

X70%
by X####:

Does not work at all. Needs work

X70%
by X####:

It will be great if you add username n password

X70%
by X####:

you can pass a url using the browser 'share' '...' button

W70%

The only one I use 5 stars

Z70%
by Z####:

Awesome, the Linux part

X70%
by X####:

It's a useful tool

X70%

Bad bad half downloads every time

X70%
by X####:

Does what it's supposed to without fluff.

L70%
by L####:

Does just what it says, no stupid integrated browser or multi threads, just a file downloader. Would be nice to set download location permanently.

Y70%
by Y####:

It does what I need it to do. Very simple. I think I found a small bug, when I put my phone in landscape view, the downloads will stop and the app will force close. As long as I keep my phone in portrait view, it does fine.

No more, no less. No feature bloat, no ad spam. Thanks!

by X####:

A small and simple tool in the Unix philosophy — thank you!

W70%
by W####:

Good idea to provide simple appication to download files but this app doesn't support self-signed certificates.

X70%
by X####:

1. Very high CPU usage 2. Cancels download if you click any place beside the download pop up 3. Slows down at least twice when you send it to background

U70%
by U####:

Does exactly what it says. Basically wget with an Android GUI, which is precisely what I needed. Thank you!

U70%
by U####:

(NB: you can pass a url using the browser 'share' '...' button...) This works well, but lacks two things: 1) notification item in system notification list, 2) auto-rename if duplicate exists

U70%
by U####:

Can't detect different port on href urls

U70%
by U####:

Works great for single files, but unfortunately doesn't seem to work recursively. The "retrieve hrefs" option causes errors where the subdirectories don't exist.

U70%
by U####:

Is your phone being an asshat? This simple app will fetch the file you want and put it where you want it. Just what I want in an app.

V70%
by V####:

Needed to download multiple files in multiple folders from a website - perfect!

C70%
by C####:

not smart to manualy delete every time the http:/ when pasting an url.

U70%
by U####:

it would be useful if this app registered itself as a browser, so that an app that knows how to pass a link to an external browser can pass it to this, then webget should silently just grab the item at the linked URI using default settings, perhaps with a download queue listing :-)

C70%
by C####:

Simple to use, seems to work well and quickly.

C70%
by C####:

I get a java error with everything. And it just hangs on large files, doesn't do anything. When I come out of the app to do something else it cancels the download (the download it never started coz it was just hanging on a large file) I love and use wget on Linux everyday but this is not the same!

Y70%
by Y####:

Simple and functional - the way I like 'em! But it would be nice to be able to set the default destination directory.

Y70%
by Y####:

Kinda useless for any medium or large file. Even source code.

F70%
by F####:

Does just what it says, no stupid integrated browser or multi threads, just a file downloader. Would be nice to set download location permanently.

D70%
by D####:

I love this app. I was going to make a similar app that used the wget binary because of the lack of such apps in the play store. Great job dev! I use this all the time :)

Y70%
by Y####:

Downloads files successfully. Don't worry if the progress bar disappears, it still works.

Q70%
by Q####:

Works great! If I may offer three suggestions: 1. Add a cancel/abort/exit option. 2. Maybe an option for previously used local directories. 3. Show actual file size during download.

D70%
by D####:

I doubted there would be an app for this but I was wrong lol

D70%
by D####:

App does the very minimum of wget, but it does work! href is confusing perhaps a help file or reference to wget's -r or -m (--mirror) options would help out. I'd like to see a way to abort a download.
