Really good addon that works fast without complications.

This is the best Youtube video downloader I've tried, and over the years I have used a lot of them. Two very important things I love about this plugin are that they keep it updated, and fix bugs. There will always be bugs or things breaking in software, especially when it works with a 3rd party service as in this case. But so far they have released updates to fix any issues. Another feature I love is the option to download as mp3. There are so many videos that really add no value visually, and could just as well have been made as mp3s. So why download a huge video file when you can just download an mp3? This add-on makes it easy to do just that.

There is a lot of software that is advertised as 'easy'. This one truly delivers on that. I can't imagine how they could make it any easier. It's so good that I have donated to support them, and I will do so again as well to give them some support for making such a great add-on and keeping it updated, fixing bugs, etc.

UPDATE: 2 years later and this is still my favorite and most used add-on. Thank you to the developer for all the hard work that goes into upgrading this every time youtube changes and breaks something!

never had a problem with it and it does what it advertises effectively

This is not only a great extension and well maintained, but it is also an important extension. As fickle as YouTube is about removing videos that it doesn't like, it is great to be able to download those important videos that we depend on and save them to our own computers. It is important, though, that, as long as a video is available, we support the creator by using the online video whenever possible.

And please support the creator of this extension, too, by making a small donation when you can.

Second only to Session Manager, this is the extension that I use the most. Thank you so much!

As stated, it is easy. Works great!

I just love this plugin.

Actually, I use the PRO version of it which requires a donation,
but it is an awesome bargain.

Downloading of Videos and Audio is so easy & quick
but I often maybe use it too much.

Nice features such as video-audio selections are very useful.

Please forgive me for not delineating
between the Free & Pro version
as that would require some "homework" on my part
which any potential user can just as easy find for them self.

I do not know how Dishita does it, but her skills and expertise constantly SHINES!

I had not donated since 2018. I could not get PRO version 16.5 to work. So, I decided to try the money route. SUCCESS! I know it is getting harder to satisfy YouTube, but Dishita just keeps being the shining light. I hope she is able to continue this service for the foreseeable future. I will ensure more frequent money infusions to keep Dishita's service flying high.

DISHITA: You are the BEST!!! A shout-out to you and your service. A MILLION thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Review from 2 years ago:

FIRST, Dishita should get tech support of the year! Quick response - 3 times - within 12 hours. I was given no nonsense advice and how to fix my connection/download problem. I see that some users expect miracles, even though their own security/blockers stop this Add-on. User error, NOT Add-on error!!!!
SECOND, the Add-on works quickly and without errors.
LAST: I am one extremely happy and heavy user of this Add-on. A big thanks to Dishita for providing this usable product.

THANK YOU DISHITA!!! MIKIE likes it!

thank u

muy bueno

This handy plug-in just works. No hassle. No complications. I found it in a google search. Easy install and it gives you a big green button under the YouTube video that says "Download As..."

Amazing!
It's good to be able to download audio only or video with the same addon.

Excellent downloader and super fast download. Its after one donates that the speed increases.

Does exactly as described. Well worth the cost of registration.

Ease of use.
The choice of quality of downloads.
Makes it meaningful to save selected videos.

good

The download speed where I live is only 1.5 megabits a second. This makes watching videos at any decent resolution a problem when I'm the only one using the net, and impossible when other family members are using it.
Since I watch a lot of tutorial videos, being able to download them to watch offline means not having to pause, buffer, scrub back and forth, repeat.
After using the basic edition for a while, I've just picked up Pro and gave it a try with a 1080p Blender tutorial. The transcoding is excellent and it will be a great help in the future.
Highly recommended.

Update: March 10, 2019. Still loving this app. The registration is worth every penny, and the little elves that transcode the videos on the remote servers have to be fed somehow. I've introduced another family member to the app and they love it, so we'll be donating again today.
