LDT Digital Downloads

July 5, 2024

I switched from Sendowl because I needed more than 1gb of file storage and LDT had - more file storage - a customer download portal all for a cheaper price. The app is great overall and works fine, customer service is great.... HOWEVER, there are a lot of little annoying things that stop this app from being perfect: 1) You can't edit all your email templates from settings, you have to scavenger hunt to find each one. 2) When you update a digital product you can send an update message by email, but it forces you to change the entire template just for that one instance. Sendowl was very simple. you had your base email template and when you send the update you could add a custom message that would only apply to that one email. 3) You can’t reset downloads for customers' orders. There is only an "add extra download" button where you have to give them an extra download. But if you give the customer too many, you have to subtract the number of downloads to the number you want the customer to have. Sometimes it just doesn’t work, so you have to contact customer service, and then customer service seems to only be available on European time…. like come on, just make a reset download button. 4) Their portal page is great but has very little customizability…some of which customer service can help with……but yea These are some of the major ones. All in all, after comparing all the other top rated digital download apps, LDT is definitely the best balance of price and features. I would say Sky pilot would be be one step up in terms of features and complete package, but they expensive af….so
