INTRODUCTION
Although some YouTube videos are available for download and offline viewing, using third-party apps to download YouTube videos is against its terms. YouTube’s Terms of Service explicitly mentions that users shouldn’t download videos unless a download button or link is shown by YouTube on a particular service. Moreover, one is not allowed to download or make copies of copyrighted content. If caught doing so, one can theoretically face trial or a fine. Although YouTube has never lashed out at a user for downloading copyrighted content using a youtube video downloader app, the activity is regardless illegitimate.
Despite the risks, if you desire to download YouTube videos and music, then here are some of the best Android apps to satisfy your needs.
I have tested over 13 + apps ,the best 4 apps are given below. Check out the features and choose your best. These youtube video downloading apps except Newpipe can download not only youtube videos and music but can also download from third party websites and apps like facebook, instagram, twitter etc...
THE BEST FOUR APPS
VIDEODER
1.VIDEODER
Looking for an Indian app for the task? Your answer is videoder.
Videoder currently lets you download videos from sites like youtube, instagram, facebook, hotstar, voot, vk and new ones are being added every week as per the users request, cirrently there is 10000+ websites.You can choose the quality with which you want to download each video, with different options depending on the video in question. You can even download them in high definition, if it's available, or choose between MP4, FLV, and 3GP formats. Stream or download 4K videos with Videoder and play them on your Ultra HD devices.
Infact Videoder is the only app from which I could find 4k downloading feature properly. There is batch downloading feature, you can make a collection of songs and videos while exploring and set them to download in just one go. This is the power of multiple downloading feature. Download hundreds of songs with just a click.
Cover art designer helps you to organize your entire music library. Set cover art, add mp3 tags and give a life to your music collection. One of the best features in Videoder is our smart link detection tool. When you copy a link of any video, music or media file Videoder detects the link and shows a popup to download.

This feature is not available in every app in the same category ( for example Tubemate ). However, with SnapTube it as easy as clicking a button.Cinema enthusiasts specially Bollywood fans will love the Indian music tab, you can get everything related to Bollywood movies and music, old and new in this dedicated tab.

4.Vidmate
Vidmate is an application that offers many features like media download. This is a brand new experience that allows you to download various media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Dailymotion, Vine and more. It not only offers many platforms but also offers a choice between different qualities, resolutions, and formats. What we like most is that it is in APK format. This takes less space in user device storage and provides more space for media.
Another thing to become one of the best applications that allow you to download media from the video repository you want in order to allow users to download media from the world’s best video recording platform.
Downloading is much more convenient with Vidmate because it allows multiple downloads at once. The main motive of this idea is to save time and provide the best experience. Another thing to increase your experience is to allow users to pause, play, replay, and interrupt download processes.
Users can check the progress made in the background. Regardless of whether YouTube’s strict rules apply to download media from the official application, Vidmate users can easily download media in various formats, resolutions, and qualities, even in YouTube’s default application
PROS of Vidmate:
- Download speed is fast and consistent.
- You have the ability to customize the speed.
