I must admit that I’ve had this app on my iPhone for a while now, and I
had been putting off writing the review. Honestly, I wasn’t quite sure
what to do with this app, and I wanted to make sure I explored all of
the possible uses before I made my final opinions. First, the most
obvious use for this application is to allow one to download files
directly onto the iPhone. I haven’t had much use for this. For one, the
iPhone does not have a built-in method for accessing files as my
previous Windows Mobile devices did. There’s no “My Computer” to be
found (thankfully) on my iPhone home screen. Thus, I’ve never been
tempted to download and store any files on my iPhone. If I needed to
look at a file, the iPhone usually took care of this by opening the
PDF, Word, or Excel document and that was that.

Overview
With iDownload, you
are able to download files directly to your iPhone, as well as share
files with any web-enabled device. This is supposed to be two-way, so
files can be transferred both to and from the iPhone. Although the
instructions on the website state that it would be “easy as 1, 2, 3”, I
decided to put each function to the test. My results follow below:

Downloading Files
Again, I wasn’t sure where this feature would come in handy. I couldn’t
think of a file that I needed to download, but then I read some of the
individual reviews on the iTunes store site. Seeqpod.com kept coming up
in conversations as a potential site to use with iDownload. I checked
it out using the mini-browser that is included within the iDownload
app. I proceeded to listen to several musical files which after I
confirmed the “Download Now” prompt, subsequently began to download
into the Files section of the app. Within seconds, I had a few songs on
my iPhone that I could play at any time. For the record, I chose songs
that I already owned, since I have a sneaky feeling that not doing so
would be a violation of some kind of copyright law.

Sharing Files
The next step in testing iDownload was to see how easy it would be to
share files to and from the iPhone. The instructions said that I needed
to enable sharing on iDownload and point my web browser to the web
address displayed on my iPhone. Although it did not work the first
time, on the second attempt, sure enough I saw a list of the same files
on my computer screen. I then got excited and immediately tested the
upload file option. Once it was enabled on my iPhone, I proceeded to
upload this very review onto my iPhone, and within seconds, I was
viewing this document on my iPhone.
