TubeMate is the android app used very widely to download videos from YouTube. It is built to let you store videos on your device and play them without the need for an internet connection. In my experience, this is very useful when you are travelling abroad. But besides this, if you happen to live in a country with high mobile data rates, Tubemate YouTube Downloader can be even more useful and savvy.
HOW TO DOWNLOAD VIDEO?
It has an address bar where you can paste an URL or browse YouTube as you'd normally do. Just make sure that you are logged in to your account in order to see the full contents.
Briefly said it shows YouTube.com with and an additional Download button. Tap the button you are given the option to save it in different formats and choose quality. Pretty neat!
FEATURES

The option to download files in HD or lower resolutions along with multiple file formats is a killer one.
And on top of all is the download manager.
FAQ
Is it legal?
The legal status of video downloader apps is an interesting legal issue. Most often the legal status is different depending on your country of residence's laws. Downloading is legal but whatever you do with it may not be so. Use it for private purposes. Any commercial use is forbidden and you may be subject of prosecution.
Is it free?
TubeMate has been a free app since I remember its first legacy version. It has evolved in the years and the latest TubeMate 3 is also free to download. The app makes its revenue from displaying ads, which are in no way offensive.
Who made it
It is developed by Devian Studio. Make sure to follow TubeMate Facebook page for latest updates and announcements. Devian Studio has also YouTube channel about TubeMate and a new community to discuss TubeMate on Reddit.
Can I download mp3
It is petty that TubeMate can only download videos without converting them to mp3. This is due to a limitation in some core functions of YouTube. You'll need an MP3 converter app in order to convert videos to MP3 audio files. There are many free apps to help you with this task and below I will show you one.
Why do I need an mp3 converter?
The main idea behind TubeMate is to download the entire video as it is from YouTube. This way you are using the video for personal use and you should not be pursued in a court of law for commercial use or alternating contents. In some cases, like downloading an entire music playlist, it may be better to save the files in MP3 format. This way you can have the same music on your device and save space. Devian Hong? recommends using MP3 Video Converter app to convert any video file that you have stored on your Android device into an audio file.
