I've used this app for almost ten years, and although it's not perfect, it does the job of sending my customers links to their purchased PDF patterns, and it's free.
I would LOVE it if the files you uploaded were marked with a date!
I would LOVE it if customer email addresses were synchronized with the address they use and updated in Shopify.
Finally, the customers who have canceled a purchase or have received a refund don't get a new link sent if the file is updated.
Finally, a hosted version of the app would be amazing. I wouldn't mind paying for one, so I wouldn't have to manually send people new links to their PDFs.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review and I'm glad to hear that you've gotten good use out of the Digital Downloads app over the last ten years. The feedback you've provided us on how we can improve the app is appreciated and I'll be sure to pass this onto our app development team. -Victor, Shopify Support
Zero issues with the app. Works great, but we offer free POS PDFs for digital download - not selling digital products, so your milage may vary.

App works for downloading digital images, then it stops functioning properly. Its glitchy. Now instead of automatically allowing users to receive a link in checkout confirmation... it "hangs up" and states there is a delay. When I look in admin, there is an unfulfilled status on the purchase.
So instead of automatically fulfilling the order, it hangs up and waits for a response on the admin side.
These orders are all digital download and have NO physical products in the order, which will cuase this issue, but we do not have that case. All digital.
A second issue, if you add your digital file using the link provided when setting up the produce it will not actually add the downloadable file. You have to do this in two steps. Add your product as you normally would, then go in through the app, find the product and add the download file.
Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback! I'm happy to pass this on to our team who looks into improvements we can make. That being said, I'd also recommend you contact our support team through the Help Center here (https://shopify.link/vRnL) so we can take a look at this with you. We'd be happy to review this and see what we can do to help get it working as expected. -Erin, Shopify Support
I too have had no problem with this app. It does what it's supposed to do. I've not had any complaints? I'm not sure why the low rating. Now Shopify tells me to contact the developer and update it.? But the Developer is Shopify. I see an answer from them below saying that they are working on it and it gives a link to their progress but the link doesn't work. ??
DO NOT get this app. Shopify is no longer supporting it and this is a quote from a tech support rep: the current app is in maintenance mode, meaning that developers are only investing resources into resolving "critical security fixes or widespread bugs". After using it for four years I can no longer upload files.
Hey, there! Thank you for taking the time to review Digital Downloads. While we still support the app, the scope of our support may be limited. If our support team confirms that an issue cannot be supported, you may consider using one of the third-party apps in the app store which you can find a list of here: https://shopify.link/vkM2. -Summer, Shopify Support
