Hi Martin,

Thank you for rating us. We are sorry to hear that your experience on our platform was unsatisfactory.

For the unwanted apps, please note that when clicking the green "Download" button, the page should refresh and open up a new one. If you get a pop-up, however, that is just an ad for a different app. To avoid getting that different app, just click "No thanks, I will continue downloading ___" that is on the very bottom of the pop-up. You can then download the correct app on the new page.

If you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Have a nice day!

Hello אפרים פאפיש,

We're sorry to hear that your experience was not satisfactory.

However, your feedback relates to a specific app, rather than the download process itself. To clarify, at Softonic we only host software download links; we do not develop, sell, or manage any of these programs listed.

Therefore, for direct help or feedback on any in-app specifics, such as usage or features, the best approach is to contact the developer or customer support directly.

Have a nice day!
