1★In the Help section, it says the default download folder can be changed in the "Settings" section, but when clicking on the Download folder within the "Settings" section, there is NOT an option to move the download folder. This is incredibly frustrating and renders this program essentially useless on an nvidia shield or Onn box unless an ADDITIONAL 3rd party file manager is used to access that folder. Fix your app or fix your instructions.

1★Used this app successfully for quite some time. 2 weeks ago i got an adroid 14 streamer with android tv and since then google play will not allow downloading and installing the app/ when and how will you correct this?

5★I just used Downloader by AFTVnews to install the new Wizz tv app on my devices. Worked well on Chromecast with Google TV, and a Samsung phone S20, & a Galaxy Tab 6 & a Lenovo P11. Very satisfied. I was going nuts trying to use other methods. I didnt realise Dowloader worked so well for phones and tablets. Is that a new development? You have to let it go back to Settings to allow it to access unknown sources.

3★Hey guys please check this... I'm using Downloader since 2 weeks in T.V. it was good 👍. But after the latest update the Instagram is not working properly especially the keyboard one, we don't know what we are typing and sending wrong messages which makes me feel embarassing in front of others. Please check this problem and fix it ASAP. Thank you.
