I would be really grateful if you explain what exactly makes the article sound/look like an advertisement and what I can do to improve it. Any advice or help is really appreciated. Thank you in advance.

- @Carmen821: Here are some examples:
"Citrio has all the basic functionality of Chrome browser and a number of its own unique features."
This is obvious ad copy. If it has features Chrome doesn't then why not list them? The next sentence does so this sentence is superfluous."Citrio’s video grabber makes it possible to download files from most popular online video websites."
What about downloading from the less popular websites? You seem to specify "most popular" like that matters. Again, obvious ad copy. Building an article based on your marketing department's recommendations is foolish at best. - The big problem with your draft is that most, if not all, of the sources are not both independent and reliable. Gigaom and Lifehacker are the only sources that come anywhere close to being acceptable. Therefore, you have no claim to notability. Come back when PC Mag writes about it.

Comment: I've looked through your draft, and I saw that there were no references. References are extremely important, especially for biographies. Unfortunately, social media is not enough. Try to find references such as news websites, books, magazines, and the sort, and and them into the article. If you need additional help, have a look at this page.
