Hulu is finally adding downloads to its streaming service, years after Netflix and Amazon Prime Video did the same. The company had promised over a year ago that it would soon roll out support for offline viewing, having developed a way to include advertising with its downloads. However, the downloads feature launching today is only available to iOS users on Hulu’s “No Ads” plan, the company says.

When reached for comment, Hulu couldn’t offer a timeline for when support would arrive on the ad-supported version of Hulu, whether those plans had been shelved, nor could it explain the delay to bring a downloads product to market.
