  • WiFi

Now let’s begin the HowTo and get you started and more productive. This is easy , straight forward and painless , so don’t sweat about it.

Once you loaded the app you will need to insert the exact link to the file you want to download or you can just use the mini browser to navigate to the webpage and click any download link that iDownload should be able to track it ( .mp3, .avi, .png, .jpg any file you want ).
