YouTube Downloader Free 3.0.20.15
As you've guessed it by just looking at its name, YouTube Downloader Free makes it possible for anyone to transfer their preferred videos onto their mobile device with a couple of taps.
Friendly and uncomplicated interface
The simple, unadorned aspect of this application is made up of a few screens in which the content is organized in such a manner that every user can access it with great ease. Thus, going through the categories or browsing the list clips from a query is pretty smooth and without any glitches.
The tiles on the home screen that stand each for a certain category appear as blue squares initially, but when opening them and going back to the initial screen, their thumbnail will contain a preview of the first item on the list in that category. Unfortunately, this will revert once the app is closed.
Besides the annoying flashing advertisement banners that can be seen all through the GUI, there will appear some reminders prompting you to rate the app.
Save videos and play them directly from your phone
Downloading the videos is a pretty simple job as all you have to do is pick the desired resolution and the app will do the rest. A special feature that some will find useful while many others will surely hate relates to the downloading of copyright protected material, which is not available unless a purchase is made.
All the files you download are stored internally, inside the app and it allows you to send links to each of those items inside the Music+Videos hub, so they can be found and played a lot faster. The useful manager for the downloaded movies makes it easy for users to keep track of the items stored inside the app and remove the unnecessary ones on the spot.

Function7

Battery7
The amount energy required by YouTube Downloader Free is moderate most of the time, but it can peak to high levels. |
Price8
This tool seems to be a very useful one, but it is plagued by ads, prompts and it cannot download just about any video. |

The app is suitable for most Windows Phone 7.5 and above handsets and it needs more than 256MB of RAM to handle high definition (HD) videos. |
