How do I download an MRH Store video to my iOS device?
First, go buy the GoodReader app - it's about $5. This app is the swiss army knife of file consuming apps on iOS. As you will shortly see, it's amazing what all it can do!
You want this app on your iOS device - it's extremely handy and versatile.
Next, you will get an email from us that has your download links that looks like this:
STEP 1: OPEN THE DOWNLOAD LINK IN GOODREADER
In the email you get, TAP and HOLD the download link, and select Copy from the popup menu:
STEP 2: PASTE THE LINK IN GOODREADER AND DOWNLOAD
Open the GoodReader app and:
1. Tap CONNECT
2. Tap Enter URL
3. The URL you copied in STEP 1 will be auto-entered, so just tap OK.
GoodReader will give you a download progress bar, just as you'd like (unfortunately, Safari and Chrome browsers don't do this well on an iPad).
STEP 3: ONCE IT'S DOWNLOADED, THEN UNZIP IT
Once the download is finished (you will find the file in GoodReader's Downloads folder), you need to unzip it. Fortunately GoodReader (unlike native iOS) knows all about zip files and automatically knows you probably want to unzip the file, just tap UNZIP - and watch the progress bar as it unzips.
Watch the zip file unarchiving progress bar ...
STEP 4: ONCE GOODREADER HAS UNZIPPED THE MP4 VIDEO, TAP IT TO PLAY ...
Once GoodReader has unzipped the MP4 video file, it will add it to the file list like this ...
Now just tap the video and enjoy watching! (NOTE: You can delete the zip file, since you don't need it any longer.)
GoodReader allows you to organize files into folders - we recommend you create a special folder for these videos in GoodReader so they're always available to play on your device whenever you like! You can also use iCloud or iTunes to back them up so you won't lose them if your device ever has a memory problem.

Affirmative!
I will say that once you've done a couple, then it is very straightforward. Just that very large files do take some time, and if using Wi-Fi, then make sure you have a strong signal.
