YouTube videos are designed to stream, not to sit on your hard disk, phone or solid state drive. But sometimes there are very good reasons why you might want to save videos for watching offline. You might live in the sticks, where reliable broadband is as rare as reliable buses. You might commute through areas where people still point at aeroplanes, never mind let mobile data masts anywhere near them.
Whatever the reason, there are plenty of ways to download YouTube videos for free on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. But several third party YouTube downloading and conversion tools have been shut down recently due to requests from Google and copyright holders, but the one we've used here are still active.
TubeMate is one of the most popular tool for downloading YouTube videos on Android smartphones, and with good reason: it’s really easy to use and has the features you need without any bells and whistles you don’t. We like it a lot.

This app isn't available on the Google Play Store (Google isn't too keen on YouTube downloaders), but you can safely download Tubemate from the 9apps for your android device.
You might see a warning message about downloading APK files, so click 'OK' to allow it. Once TubeMate has downloaded, run the file and tap 'Install', then tap 'Open'.
TubeMate looks like the normal YouTube app, with an extra frame around it. You can browse YouTube as normal until you find what you want to download, or tap the menu icon in the top right, select 'URL' and paste the address of a video from your web browser.
When you watch a YouTube video in TubeMate, a bright green download button will appear above it. Tap it and you’ll see a progress bar, which tells you that the app is “parsing video information”. In plain English that means it’s getting all the bits and pieces it needs to download the clip.
The next thing you’ll see is a list of formats. You’ll see video and audio formats and different quality and resolution options for each. If you have a high-end device then by all means download the highest possible quality versions, but remember that the higher the resolution the bigger the file: if your phone or tablet doesn’t have much free space, YouTube videos will soon fill it up.
Browse YouTube as normal within TubeMate until you find the video you want, then tap the green button to download it in a format and quality of your choice.To be honestly,Tubemate is the best YouTuBe video downloader i have used,and you can download it in 9apps.
