Straight forward, my grand mother could use it, amazing.

This has been a wonderful tool for me. I can understand why YouTube hates it -- I haven't seen an ad in years -- but, realistically, I'd use YouTube a LOT less if I actually had to sit through those. Right now, I go to YouTube whenever I want to and I check it multiple times a day. Without this tool, I'd only use YouTube when I actually needed it, which would be once a week or so.

love it!!!!!

Changed my rating after years of successful use. The October 2024 change at YouTube made this extension ineffective for me, and nothing new since then here so I bumped down to three stars. I don't know if upgrading to the PRO version will get things back to working, but I am not chancing it since I don't see any updated announcement in support page since October. I am using "YouTube Downloader (UDL Helper)" now to download 360p video from YouTube if anyone is desperate for an alternative to this

Excellent, easy to use and the author tried to keep up with changes in youtube's coding and policies. Too many current negative reviews reflect a short term hiccup. Most of the time, it is easy to get the videos you need.

Fast speed, great quality downloads, very easy to use!

The easiest Addon for Youtube Video downloads out there.
It doesn't get simpler by literally pressing two buttons.
Thank you for your service o7

the dev is working on a fix for the current issues. Has always worked for me.

Best youtube downloader on the internet.

this is the best downloader on the internet. I have been using this one for years and it never disappoints. If you decide to use this please try and donate just a little bit if you can.

YouTube is actively trying to be an asshole, but the developers seem to be working hard. Any issues I have are fixed fairly quickly (after contacting support) and the convenience is hard to overstate.

Best and fastes video downloader I have tried, and I have tried several over the years

31-03-2024: doesn't work anymore since around last 3-4 weeks, can only download 360p video (no 720/1080p anymore) and when you choose to download 360p it downloads a video with black screen and text telling "this content is not available in app, please watch it in youtube".

edit 05-04-24: works again great, thank you for applying update. i was using it 2 years successfully and just last 3 weeks stopped working completely at all, thus i wrote this review to let u know it was not working.

i make a donation and cant ctivate pro version follow the instruction i send email for support with no response

best application

The great thing about this add-on is the developer is responsive to changes YouTube makes to their platform re: extensions. The developer posts notifications about development status & any ongoing issues. Recommend for sure.

Only thing in town that worked. Youtube is again making things difficult but author is working on it. If you install this, as soon as the new patch is out, it will be working again. Great program.

I've tried so many video download add-ons and this is the one i've been the most consistently happy with. The devs for add-ons like these understandably have to play tag with YT all the time, but this developer is one of the faster & more dedicated ones from what I've seen. I'm big into media preservation, but it's a headache chasing add-ons that work so I'm really grateful this one has been so consistent. YT has once again changed how they work so the add-on isn't working at this exact moment, but unlike with a lot of others, I have faith that this add-on will be updated soon, the dev seems really dedicated. I rarely have any problems with this one.

Also I really appreciate how clear the list of formats & file sizes is when I use the pull down menu, and it's not cluttered up with too many no-audio or audio-only options.

While the 1080p does not show at this time, I am hopeful it will be fixed soon. I have donated $30 to downloader as over the years I have gotten lots of very quality use. I recommend this app to anyone.

UN TIMO

This Youtube downloader has been working well for the most part, and it must be understood that youtube will try to block downloads, but I trust the creator will overcome that soon.

good downloader

Superb YouTube video downloader, very reliable, I've been using it for years.
