Okay Download but IAP lies, AND you have to re-re-re-store

Updated review with point #3 workaround to get rid of the stupid "Buy Pro Nao!" dialog. Added about scripting, and about Folxs plugins.

2 things have caused me to give this downloader 1 star:

1/ If you buy the PRO upgrade you DO NOT get "Smart Downloading". You get everything else but not that. Eltimas IAP *lies* -- dont buy the PRO pack until Eltima fixes this!

2/ Even worse, when you launch the App you MUST "Restore Purchases" EVERY TIME. That makes this thing a dog. (I have since gotten a refund of the "Pro" IAP)

3/ If the "Buy Pro" Dialog "wont go away if you press the "Buy Pro" or Cancel" its because Eltima wasnt smart enough to ALSO wire the "Dont show this again" checkbox into the Buy and Cancel buttons LIKE EVERY OTHER APP. You have to tick the box AND THEN Cmd-W or close.window from the upper left close control. This is typical WINDOWS. SMDH.

If Eltima fixed items 1-2 this would be a 4+/5 App.

All the above being said this is an OKAY to average Downloader. Its not the hot mess that "Speed Download" (RIP, not developed now) used to be, and the browser plugins work unobtrusively and well. There are other "downloaders" in the MAS but their web plugins dont work as well.

Personally Im not bothered by the UI, its logical and straightforward. Also the "Add.." dialog can be turned off, which is good if you want to script Folx using Automator or a shell command like open -a Folx GO {URL}... that really works. So kudos to Eltima for doing that.

5 stars to start with for something thats done mostly right. -1 star for STUPID bugs, and another -1 star for abusing In-App Purchasing and NOT giving the user features promised in the dialog.

Youre dealing with Mac Users, Eltima. Act like it and youll have a 5-star app.
