Take YouTube, Google Video, Daily Motion, RealOne and many more with you... everywhere.

COMPUTA-TUTA I paid for and installed CosmoPod in May 2009 and it worked for a few months. I upgraded to SL in September and CosmoPod would not work with standard 64-bit Safari. Now this guy wants more cash for a program that should have been SL compatible when I bought it 4 months before.. I don't know what agenda he is running here but unless he gets his pricing sorted out, reviews like this are gonna finish his development on the Mac platform! This guy will not be getting any more cash from me until he can prove that he's not gonna bill me every 4 months to get his software to work! CosmoPod is getting removed from my Mac as of NOW!

VISOR I'm in the same boat as you. Unlike others here, I paid full price at the end of April this year. I got no more than 5 months of use before Snow Leopard - and now I'm being asked for another 50% already??? I don't bloody think so. I'm no longer a customer of CocoaMUGGED software.

VISOR And do not be fooled by the 'CosmoPOD upgrades have been free between March 2007 and September 2009' line - I had only been a customer since April 2009. What passed before is of no consequence to me - I am only interested once I have BECOME a customer. While I realise that the developer needs to live, I also do not appreciate being taken advantage of. I put good faith in purchasing the software and this was the repayment? This is the kind of roughshod 'customer service' that give small developers a bad name.

TRANQY Bought this from MacUpdate Promo in April. Developer decided not to provide upgrades to the snow leopard compatible version. My purchased software worked for less then 6 months before being orphaned by the developer and asked to pay for an upgrade. Using a free firefox extension instead now. I'd rather stay in safari, but I will not support this company since they did not support their customers. Here's the email thread from the developer for anyone interested. http://is.gd/46BSC

SHMK I second this one, I bought it on its one around the beginning of May as well. I think am upgrade fee within six month is bollocks especially considering there aren't any new features. and 3.9 euros where I am is closer to $10. Bollocks the 3.1 he talks about doesn't even work in Safari running 32-bit it completely crashes Safari. How do we go so quickly from 3.1 to 4 anyhow... I know looking for more $$$ for a compatibility update. Lame.

GARY30 CosmoPod is the most useful utility for the money of all the web related video utilities I have. If you are a Safari user and like to view some video content offline, this Application Enhancer makes is a one click solution. The developer stays right on top of Safari updates and I have never had a hang or other glitch involving CosmoPod. There is an "equivalent" free plug-in for Firefox, FlashGot. It is frustrating for me in that is wants to download each and every flash animation on a given web page and preserves the often bewildering names. In my view it not as useful as CosmoPod.

GARY30 Just a correction to my original review: CosmoPod is NOT an Application Enhancer and IS an inputManager. Apologies for my confusion!

WILE E. Although I am a recent convert to CosmoPod I have been very impressed and bought a license immediately. The cost of a license right now is too good to pass this by. Smooth, fast, and seamless to both download and convert virtually any video. The ability to edit metadata is a powerful addition. Works perfectly under the recent release of Safari 4 Beta for me. | |

this version should fix the error encountered in the previous comment. Also, you can get CosmoPod for 4.90 until next year. Merry Christmas.

SCHUBERT I have owned CosmoPod for quite a while, and I must say with complete confidence... If you want the best video downloader, buy CosmoPod. I have tried almost everything available, and CosmoPod simply works best in every category. It's fast, the interface is easy to use, the software installs quickly and the developer stands behind the product second to none.

JON_ATLANTA Does anyone know how to uninstall CosmoPod? It keeps bugging me to upgrade, even though I never purchased it after trying the demo, and I'd like to uninstall it but can't for the life of me figure out how... | |

JIMK Run the CosmoPod Installer.app again (download it again, if needed) and click the Uninstall button.

MAC4MYLIFE I have been using Cosmopod since its birth and I have never found better than this. Though, there is a feature that drives me nuts and I didn't find any thing that could help me. Each time the file is converted, it generates "cosmopod" at the end of the file name and I don't want that. IE: What hurts the most from a dog's Eyes-CosmoPod.mp4 I tried to get rid of it with the preferences but so far, couldn't make it. I have to erase manually one file at a time that generated name. Anyone knows how to get rid of it automatically?
