Download arkTube – Free YouTube Downloader for Android (Version 7.1.1)
The description of arkTube
arkTube is a light weight Android app which lets you download audio and video from the official YouTube app. It uses one of the most actively developed open-source project in the world: youtube-dl to download video or audio from YouTube. Some apps such as Videoder or TubeMate make use of youtube-dl, but these mostly function as a wrapper for the YouTube app.
arkTube is very easy to use. Just select the share button (arrow) on the top right corner while you are watching any video and choose arkTube. You can then set the video quality you want to download.
One downside to use arkTube is that to download videos in high resolution, you need to buy the donation app on Google Play Store (just $1.99). Though the free version will give you basic support and access to several of the most useful features, the paid version is where the app truly shines.
Both the free and pro version has been tested with hundreds of different CTS-certified ROMs. If you have a problem activating the pro features, switch to another ROM or do a refund within the Play Store. If you miss the 2 hours refund window, email to: [email protected]
