If you are looking for a download manager for Android you are in the right place! Download Ships it is in fact an excellent download manager for Android, it is totally free and obviously it is Open source.
It is probably an application that many of you are already familiar with having been around for several years. The first release dates back to mid-2019 1 and since then many steps forward have been made. Download Ships it is only used to manage and sort the downloads made on your Android smartphone
For those who are used to using similar applications on desktop such as JDownloader (owner) or the lesser known Free Download Manager. The latter is known to be Open source and is even advertised as such 2, but honestly we couldn't find the source code nowhere. In fact Wikipedia suggests that from version 5.0 the GNU license is removed (and the source code disappears). We would therefore characterize it as unreliable and not very serious at the very least.
All the features
Download Navi automatically organizes your downloads into different folders, divided by category: everyone, others, documents, Images, video, APK, audio And archives.
You can then obviously see the running and stopped downloads and organize them by download date, dimension, first name or category.
In the settings we always find the excellent possibility of changing the theme (light/dark/black). In the advanced features it is possible to set various settings including the need to download only via Wi-Fi or in roaming, download only when the smartphone is charging and so on.
You can then change the download location and edit the Browsers internal of the application (and its Search engine).
Finally, it is possible to give some limitations: how many active downloads can there be at the same time and what maximum speed can the various downloads have?
As always, let us know if you already knew this application and if you have anything else to report!
