Downloaded videos can be converted automatically to a number of popular formats, so you can tailor them for their intended use, or whatever device you intend to watch them on. If you're looking to download a large number of videos, you can download them all at once, maxing out your bandwidth — something not available in all of the best free YouTube downloaders on this list. This free YouTube downloader offers plenty of added extras too, such as the ability to record any on-screen video, video merging, and disc burning. Read our full review: aTube Catcher. Before you use a free YouTube downloader, bear in mind that using third-party apps to download videos is against YouTube's terms of service , which say you can only stream videos directly from its servers.

Downloading videos is also potentially a copyright infringement unless you own the video yourself, have permission from the copyright holder, or it's in the public domain. There are many sites that you can use to download YouTube videos, but we don't recommend them due to their disadvantages over desktop software. First of all, they're slower due to the limitations of the remote server and your data connection. Many such sites also feature ads of an NSFW variety, or display thumbnails of recently downloaded videos, which may not be appropriate. Online video converters typically don't give you much if any choice about the video file either, in terms of quality or expert format. They only allow you to download a single video at a time, and you can forget about saving whole playlists.

The funny thing is, if I visit a Caribbean country, the experience is actually pleasant. I like the recent updates regarding the video chapter selection for the longer videos, but the ads forced me to sign up for premium. I am really bummed out about losing the option to sort videos by oldest videos first. A small thing, but I miss it. I like the fact that the new update lets me choose the thumbnail when uploading "Shorts" videos.

That really helps to better showcase what the video looks like. Thanks for adding that feature. I'm giving it 3 stars mainly because everytime that I go to the app. The app itself turns all black.

I was having so much trouble getting Amazon kids to work for my 2yr old for long car trips, then i found this.

I just pin the app and he can easily navigate without getting stuck. I use the mode where I choose exactly what videos are available, add his favorite channels, e. super simple songs, and he's set without my worrying at all about what he might find. App is great but a a fee minor changes could make it so much better. Would be great to be able to subscribe to certain channels our kids prefer. The autoplay just recently stopped working even though it shows that it's on. Please add the option to be able to restart the video to the beginning without having to press the back button times. Please make the highlighted video more noticeable when selecting a new video to watch. This app does the most infuriatingly annoying thing on Android TV: it will NOT actually close the app when you hit the home screen button. Instead, Android TV will continue to play the video in the background with the volume on while you are on the home screen. Opening other apps means that you will be using that app with the volume from YouTube kids still running.

Google, just close the damn app. If I want the video to continue running in the background, make that a menu option. flag Flag as inappropriate. language Website. email Email. place Address.
