But to the best of our knowledge Snaptube doesn’t do anything dodgy and doesn’t suffer from any app-breaking problems. It isn’t complicated to do that – although it does mean that the app hasn’t been quality checked by Google’s app team and you can’t see user reviews because there aren’t any. YouTube downloaders such as Snaptube aren’t allowed in the Google Play Store (Google also owns YouTube and isn’t keen on apps that can break its terms and conditions, so you can understand why such apps are excluded), so you’ll need to download and install it yourself. The app itself is a little dated looking and the interface gets very cluttered sometimes, but it’s a solid solution with good features for more advanced download tasks. It includes an automatic updater to ensure that you’ve always got the most recent version installed on your PC and batch processing means you can give it a big list of videos and let it get on with the downloading while you do something else.ĪTube Catcher is free, and like some other free apps it will also install additional software on your PC if you don’t uncheck the appropriate boxes during installation so you might want to keep an eye out for that. Like many YouTube video downloaders, WinX YouTube Downloader can work with resolutions of up to 4K if the video is available in that resolution.īest for: Customising your download profileĪTube Catcher has lots of useful features that include batch downloading of multiple videos, screen recording, DVD and CD burning (if you have appropriate hardware), movie conversion and audio recording. The app will tell you what formats and resolutions you can download, and you can choose to save in MP4, WebM, or 3GP. All you need to do is paste the link to the video and then click the Analyze button. Using WinX YouTube Downloader is really straightforward. There’s also a proxy server you can use to avoid geoblocking, which is when a site such as YouTube tells you that you can’t access a particular video because you’re connecting from somewhere it doesn’t have the copyright owner’s permission to stream video to. It’s fast, easy to use and downloads very quickly, and its support for multiple simultaneous downloads means you can queue up lots of clips, click a button and let it get on with the job. Unlike many free YouTube downloaders, WinX YouTube Downloader doesn’t spend more time blasting you with ads than downloading your videos.
