YouTube Downloader too ?

I used to use YouTube Downloader but it seems to have shit the bed and isn't updated.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-free-android7-0-youtube-downloader-v8-1.2335450/

Wondering if anyone has any recommended Android app they use and a URL to download said app?

Newpipe
- Grayjay works well for me too.
yt-dlp inside termux?
- ytdlp.online
- Is there a reason one would use yt-dlp instead of the many other easier options, really wondering what Im missing. There's Seal , newpipe and others
  
  There's a lot of downstream applications that do just use yt-dlp behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure that's how Invidious' download function works. It also supports a metric shitload more services: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md
  
  Not one in particular, just the first thing that came to mind since I use it a lot on linux. I even use NewPipe on android, didn't even remember it had an option to download
Not used this but it seems like a wrapper for YT-DLP for Android which I use all the time on the desktop:

YTDLnis (Android Video/Audio Downloader app using yt-dlp) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.deniscerri.ytdl/
- YTDLnis the best yt-dlp frontend for Android. I use it for some time
- ??? No such App found is all I get. Do I need to add another repo to find it ?
  
  It's on izzyondroid repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.deniscerri.ytdl
  
  Also I highly reccomend it, it even integrates sponsorblock so you can download only the parts without ads or intros.
  
  I searched for "YTDLnis" inside my F-Droid client (Droid-ify) and it worked.
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.junkfood.seal/
I made a rough guide of my setup for someone wanting to download videos from their browser. Since Seal uses yt-dlp, it will work with Youtube as well.

Hope this can help you out
- Been using Seal for a long time now, works pretty well. Nice mobile interface as well.
I mostly use websites for this or my computer with jdownloader.
- Yeah but I'd be be out, hear a song, download it and then it's on my playlist minutes later as an MP3.
  
  Newpipe does M4A only AFAIK (recommended by another user)
If you want something fancy, check out Seal or YTDLnis. I simply use yt-dlp in a Termux session.

NewPipe and forks of it like Tubular also have a download feature.
The best way to download YouTube videos is Yt-dlp, and the best way to use it on android is trough this app : https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.deniscerri.ytdl
