Free Youtube downloader
Tubemate 3 is a free multimedia application from Devian Studio. This app is the third official version of Tubemate—one of the best Youtube downloaders for Android. Thanks to this software, you can store all your favorite videos from the popular streaming site on your device memory for offline viewing.
Tubemate 3 uses multiple connections, allowing you to download videos quickly. However, you should know that it frequently crashes or hangs and becomes useless unless restarted. Not only that, but it also does not allow 2G connectivity. You can try Vidmate if you are looking for a better yet free-to-use option.
Easy downloading
Being the latest version, Tubemate 3 offers an elegant interface that is a major improvement on the earlier versions. Using the app is easy. Once launched, you can see Youtube’s homepage, with suggested videos based on your search history. From there, you can search for your video the same way you do on the streaming app. You can even watch it online as if you are using Youtube. The only difference is, you can download the video and save it to your device.
To start the download process, tap the arrow icon located at the bottom of your screen. The next step is to select the factors, such as resolution and video quality. You will also need to designate which file format you want for your videos. Even better, you can convert your videos to MP3 if you only want to extract the audio. Tubemate 3 also allows you to en-queue videos to download later.
You can see your download history on the app’s right drawer—you can access this by swiping your fingers to the left. Here, you can see all your downloaded videos and even those still in the download queue. In addition to your download history, you can also access the playlist, video, and music lists from this drawer. By default, the app stores your downloaded video onto your local storage. However, you can configure this to save them on your SD card.
More sites supported
Tubemate 3 works primarily as a Youtube downloader. However, this does not mean that you are limited to that particular streaming service. Like other similar apps, such as Videoder and VidMate, you can search for a website using the built-in search engine. You can visit sites, such as DailyMotion and Vimeo. But what makes this version even better is the fact that it now supports Facebook and Instagram.
Searching for the social media site will direct you to your account, where you can browse for any video you like. Then, as you do with Youtube videos, you only need to click the arrow button when you find a video you want to process. Tubemate 3 keeps your search history, which you can access on the left drawer. Not only that, but it also allows you to bookmark your favorite sites, so you can easily visit them any time.
Final thoughts
Tubemate 3 offers a great way for users to download all those interesting videos they find on the internet. The app supports not only video streaming sites but social media apps, allowing you to have plenty of sources. Not only that, but it comes with a few handy features, such as an MP3 converter and video queueing. The constant crashes and hangs can be a hassle, but it is worth overlooking, especially since the app is free.
