Although there are many YouTube download tools on the Internet that have mobile versions and can also be used on Android, compared to the App, the operation of the web version is still relatively unchanged, especially since you must save the URL for future use, so you can consider it at this time PowerTube – Youtube-dl for Android is a free App. After pasting the YouTube URL, you can download the video or music you want. You can choose the format and image quality. It is simple and easy to use.

PowerTube is not available in the Play Store because it is used to download YouTube. You need to download the APK file and install it manually. After entering the GitHub web page, you can directly go to Release to download the latest version. There are also download points for 4PDA, XDA, and UpToDown at the bottom of the introduction. It depends on where you want to download.
When you open it for the first time, you will be asked for permission. Remember to allow access to photos, videos, music and audio on this device, so that you can download YouTube to your Android device:

The download will start. However, I don’t think the download speed is very fast, as some online tools It may be faster than that. For those who need to download a large number of YouTube videos or music, I recommend using online tools or computers:

For Android users who often download YouTube, in addition to the App, I also recommend collecting a few more online tools, because these types of tools are usually available every once in a while. If it fails, it will be safer. For example, BTCLOD, Keepvid Video Downloader, INVIDIOUS, etc. that we have introduced before are all good.
