Hassle-Free Downloads
Video Downloader Pro - Download & Play Any Video supports many different video formats such as .flv, .wmv, .mp4, .mkv, and dozens more without the need to convert them. There is currently no support for HD videos, however.
The built-in web browser where you will search and locate your desired videos contains an ad blocker as well as password manager, allowing you to keep all your downloads discreet, even if you share your iOS device with someone else.
Download speeds are unprecedented and up to ten files can be downloaded simultaneously. Downloads continue for ten minutes in background mode after which they are interrupted. Unfortunately, this background download limit is imposed on the app by iOS.
This is a non-issue though, as this app fully supports download resuming, so you never have to go through the tedious procedure of starting up the download again in case the connection drops. It's also worth mentioning here that you can download files that are more than 20MB over a 3G connection, which is unheard of for such apps.

File Management System
Once you've got your files on your iOS device, there is a comprehensive video player and manager waiting for you. Create playlists on the go or simply play a whole folder as a playlist. Shuffle videos, repeat them, play them in landscape mode, portrait mode, and even play them in the background/lock mode.
File transferring capabilities include AirPlay support which enables you to watch videos on your TV or flat screen, and you can also transfer videos to and from your computer or export iOS-supported videos to your Camera Roll.
