4. You can batch download multiple videos

Funimation supports maximum 13 download tasks simultaneously.

Solution 1: If you accord with all the conditions listed in part 1 but still fail to download a video from Funimation, make sure the Funimation app is the latest version and your device are running on iOS 10.0 or Android 5.0, or newer.  

Solution 2: If the issue keeps unsettled, uninstall and re-install Funimation.

Solution 3: If you’re certain that a video is available for downloading, you may verify whether your plan tier is still Premium Plus, as well.

Due to the restriction of Funimation download feature, many people are looking for a general solution that works for all Funimation videos.
