µTorrent® Pro - Torrent App

Revised review **Disappointed with Feature Parity in Mobile App** As a long-time uTorrent desktop user, I was excited to try the mobile pro version. However, I'm disappointed to find that the app lacks several key features present in the desktop application. Specifically, the inability to control background downloads is a major drawback. Even with torrents with a high number of seeders, downloads pause whenever you alternate screens.Tries multiple VPN locations planet wide.

Was a 5 until the update. New UI is a visual headache; file names are huge but download stats are tiny? Lost ability to open videos in 3rd party app by long pressing file; and the included player is missing basic functions that are standard in most players. Files don't seem to show up in Samsung Video app either; might be Samsung's problem but no issues on other torrent apps I've tested. Looks like I will be shopping for a new app. What a shame, I've been loyal for years.

Stick with free ver., Pro ver. is just not worth it atm. Overall, The app still feels bare bones at its current state. Not a lot of features like other torrent apps I've seen/used, so I can't give it a high rating at the moment. EDIT: I deleted a video from a file manager. Then I deleted the torrent file from utorrent. The video would still be in utorrent's video section even though it's not in my phone anymore. May be a possible glitch or bug. Fixed by uninst. and reinst. EDIT2: Slow DL speed :(

cannot click anything in landscape view. all current downloads queue when app is in background. besides that works good been using for years. update: I allow the app to use both (battery & data) in background and all app settings are off. not sure what else it could be. ill email you direct to see if we can find a fix... thanks for the response

I mean... It downloads, but it's not user friendly or intuitive. I have no idea what the buttons do, and there's absolutely no way to tell which files are downloading if the torrent has multiple files. You cannot see the details of download speeds displayed anywhere, and you have to go find that information by clicking a couple buttons every time. No useful information is displayed in the notification bar. They could learn a thing from tTorrent. I wish the later still worked. Little options.

This app is now horrible!. A good thing does NOT need to be fixed. Developers have once again ruined what was a perfect app. I want to return to the previous version. New UI has become confusing in the effort to streamline...you've created garbage. It's not useful and slower than ever. I want the download details back. I want download customization options back. You became backward thinking in the latest update. Such a shame. AWFUL!!! I can't find a positive thing to say about this. SIGH

5 yrs since my last review. Still having issues with some torrent files not starting after adding. I use magnet links specifically so if it doesn't work here I switch over to Flud and it starts right away. I've tried making settings changes but I've learned it's just best to leave things the way they come. I do add trackers though. It's been around for years and I've always had it installed even when I was paying for newsgroups. Don't think I'll be uninstalling anytime soon. 👍🏻

Very serviceable, and simple. Would like to see more of the desktop version's features added, especially download location control, but the app is low-cost, and works very well. (I don't care much for the integrated media player, and use VLC for that, since it has integrated volume, subtitle, and other controls. People who are less particular than I am will probably be glad uTorrent has a player integrated – one less app to manage.)

Still the best torrent downloader out there I've been using it for years never had a problem I got uTorrent pro years ago and I've never had a problem I've tried others and this is the best. My only gripe and it's a minor one is I wish they had more of the options and features like they have in the desktop. It's not August 22nd 2024. And my review still stands. Still the best.

Update 08-23-2022 The new edition is buggy. Doesn't even display the download speed! Same context issues as before. +++++ Update 06-19-2022 Contacted technical support as suggested by the responder to this post. Weeks have gone by. No response. The app is broken on Pixel 5s. Fluid's FREE torrent app works flawlessly. This app is now worthless. +++++ The latest updates have broken functionality. The program will not just close - it restarts. I have to close it multiple times for it to close.
