Review Summary
Download Notify is appreciated for providing audible alerts on download completion, aiding multitasking users. However, multiple users report stability problems, including frequent extension corruption requiring repairs. The notification sounds are often too subtle or inconsistent, leading to missed alerts. Users desire more customization options for sounds, especially different alerts for failed downloads. Additionally, the download counter display can be buggy or remain after downloads complete. The lack of updates since 2014 contributes to these persistent issues.
