YouTube Downloader Plus

There's no doubt that one of the most popular guilty pleasures we can all be accused of is sometimes spending hours on Youtube and watching all types of videos, from cute cat videos to funny moments or gaming streams. However, we sometimes find ourselves in a situation when we may not have access to an Internet connection, yet would like to see that certain video we have in the back of our mind. If ever such an occasion arises, you may consider using an online video downloader; maybe even one specialized in downloading off of YouTube, like YouTube Downloader Plus.

• Simple and intuitive user interface


• Ability to download videos from YouTube


• Convert downloaded videos to various formats

There are two ways an app can be considered fast; if it takes little to no time to get the job done, and if it doesn't take long to set up the app in the first place. YouTube Downloader Plus gets high marks on both ends, as the UI is so simple and well described that you can pretty much skip the help documentation altogether.

To download a video you want, simply run YTD Plus and copy the URL of the video page, and the app will automatically paste it for you. You then have to click on the ‘New Download’ box, and from there, after selecting the format you want your file saved, you just need to click "OK" to initiate the download. The videos that you download are naturally of FLV format, but they can be converted post-download into AVI, MOV, MPEG, MP4, 3GP, WMV, or MP3 (audio only), making them great for viewing on your various devices.

While as far as features go, YouTube Downloader Plus may not be the top of its class, the fact that it is so easy-to-use more than compensates anything that it may be lacking. This makes it a great first YouTube downloader to have before moving on to more complex and feature-rich tools.
