YouTube Downloader Free 3.0.20.15

A simple, no-frills application for searching and getting the preferred clips from YouTube
Most YouTube users would like to take their favorite clips with them to view them even when there is no Internet connection available. Fortunately, this can be done on Windows Phone quite easily, thanks to one of the numerous dedicated applications of this type.

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.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
 

The interface of YouTube Downloader Free could certainly be improved as it lacks any visual enhancements and the ad banners follow the user in every corner of the app.

Function7
 

Quick in downloading the selected videos, this utility supports transferring HD clips and grabbing only the audio stream.

Security8
 

The application stays off most sensitive areas of the system, but, for some reason, it requires access to the phone dialer and the device's identity.

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.

Compatibility8
 

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.
