TUBEMATE is bullshit.It shows that my movies has downloaded 100%
When i want to view my videos it shows just a short clip like about 3 minutes and then the video is corrupt.This is the same story with every video i download.
Bullshit app
Useless
Julia Klarisse Base this is me nice app
It is cool, I enjoy & appreciate it. Only if your device is compatible
KeepVid is still not so good.. My favorite is dlvyoutube that is fast and doesn’t limit downloads in any way.. just adding the dlv part is so simple =)
Thank you for these instructions, really helpful!! I always use acethinker video downloader to save youtube videos, free and works like a charm. It’s a free online app, compatbiles with computer and mobile.
I use a tubemate application
