FAQ
Why not just use an app?
Google Play and the App Store don’t allow apps that download from YouTube. The ones you install from elsewhere usually come with intrusive ads or ask for more permissions than they need.
How much space does a video take?
It depends on length and quality: a 5-minute video is usually somewhere between 30 and 80 MB. Best to download it on Wi-Fi.
Is it legal?
Only download what you have the right to keep, such as your own or Creative Commons content, and respect YouTube’s terms.
