Retrofit double glazing on sash windows

My house is single glazed wooden sash windows.
On some of them we have applied clear plastic film, which actually makes a really noticeable difference to warmth. It's a bit ugly though especially in the corners where you can see wrinkles.
I don't have the money to double glaze my windows properly but I saw this company callled EcoEase that provides custom fitting plastic secondary glazing. It clicks on in winter and off in summer so that windows can be opened as normal.
With some googling I found another company, MagicSeal, that seems to sell the same thing.

Has anyone tried it, or have any views on whether it is worth it?
