5 Best Video Downloading Apps For Android

The official YouTube app allows us to save videos offline but sometimes that’s not enough. There are times when I want to download my own YouTube videos for editing or doing some modifications. Also, the Google Play Store doesn’t have any official YouTube Downloader.

In these cases, we are just left with third-party apps for downloading videos from YouTube and other video sharing websites. Today, I will share five best video downloading apps for Android, which you can use to download videos from YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more.

As I already said, there is no Youtube video downloader available in the Play Store, and so you need to download these apps from third-party stores. Moreover, your Android phone must have apps installation from unknown sources enabled.

If you are not sure, go to go to Settings -> Security. Now, tap on Unknown sources, a warning will pop up. tap OK. Now, everything is fine. Let’s jump straight into the apps.

Disclaimer: Using third-party services to download Youtube videos is against their terms. Youtube’s Terms of service clearly mention that you should not download any content unless a download button or link is shown by YouTube on the Service for that content. In simple words, don’t use any of the apps below to download videos which you don’t own. Only use them to download your own videos or the one which comes with Creative Commons Reusable License.
