AVD Download Video 3.3.18

Download videos off the internet and save them to your phone
Advertised as the no. 1 app to download videos from the internet onto your phone, AVD Download Video comes with a few surprises, not just annoying ads. However, you could use it to download actual videos from the internet, but keep in mind that you won't be able to save videos from popular websites, like YouTube.

It comes with a tutorial and instructions

This app comes with an onscreen tutorial and instructions on how to search, download and save videos on your phone and watch them whenever you wish. However, after you select tips not to appear anymore, they still do next time you open the app.

You can also set the app to exclude videos of a certain size from the search results, change the download folder and make changes to proxy. And you can sort downloaded videos by size and date.

Rudimentary GUI with few features

In order to download video content off the internet, searches must be made through the app's browser, but top results will always come from websites that ban downloads of their videos, so you won't be able to save YouTube videos to your phone.

In addition, you can shift through several onscreen tabs and search for more content. But banner ads at the top of the screen will annoy you especially since they take up part of the screen. Also, the app comes with full-screen ads, some with audio content.

Download videos and more

Literally more. The tap to download icon displays videos that are ready to be downloaded, however you must pay extra attention to it, as only links are available and it's quite difficult to check which file you're actually downloading.

In addition, you'll find it quite difficult to search for a certain video online. Aside from the short selection of websites from which content can be stored, the download icon saves links of all videos that you've watched, so if you've checked out 3 videos and wish to download the forth, you'll find it difficult to distinguish it from the rest.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7

It requires Android version 2.3.3 or later, making accessible to many users.

Editor's Review
GOOD

You could use this app to download videos, but full-screen ads and limited features affect the whole user-experience.
