FastSave can download your picture and video in
three easy steps
. It also saves your downloaded media on your local device storage. Besides social platforms, it also
supports downloads from web pages
. However, it does not always recognize pictures and videos from websites, so downloads might not be possible.
How do you use FastSave?
FastSave is a lightweight and
easy-to-use
application. Upon launching, the app will give you a short process walkthrough. After the tutorial, it will redirect you to a simple interface similar to a
mobile web browser
. From there, you can
search for a website
. You can also tap on the
social media
icons for easier access. To start the download,
click the video or photo
, and
click the download button.
Unlike most
photo downloaders
, this app allows you to
save multiple videos and pictures
. With this, you can save an entire album at once. Not only that, but it will also give you the option to
choose which photo to download
from the album. As mentioned, it saves your downloaded media to your local storage. However, you can also browse them directly from the app.
Users should note that FastSave
works like a web browser
with a built-in media downloader. It
does not integrate
with your social media apps. As such, you will have to
log in to your social media pages
as if you are using a browser. Another thing to note is that while it lets you open websites, most of the time, the app
cannot recognize media inside them
.
Is the app good?
If you are looking to download photos and videos from social media sites, FastSave is a
handy tool
for you. The app supports most social platforms—excluding
Youtube
—so you can save media shared by your friends. The download process is also
easy and takes little time
. Note, however, that it does not integrate with its supported apps. You would have to use it as if you are using a browser.
