FAQ:

Is Airy a free YouTube downloader for Mac?

That would have been great, but Airy is only free for the first two downloads. Can’t make up your mind on the purchase? Try it - usually, the trial run is more than enough to convince our customers.

Which YouTube downloader Mac app is best?

There are plenty of downloader apps to compare and rate. Having tried many, we assure you: none have surpassed Airy at YouTube downloads. It’s perfectly streamlined for this specific task, with no unnecessary options or delays. It’s as good as it gets! What's more, Airy is a perfect YouTube to MP3 Converter for Mac. You can easily get audio from any YouTube video.

Is saving a video file from YouTube to your phone possible?

Short answer: not for free. Google, YouTube’s parent company, has been very strict on banning phone apps and third-party software that allow you to download videos from YouTube, and the reason for that is very simple: they want you to pay for that privilege with their YouTube Premium feature, which allows precisely that. Since pretty much every other way has been blocked or results in punitive action from Google, we recommend going with YouTube Premium.

How to download YouTube video on Android?

YouTube Premium is a no-brainer, although it’s a bit tough on the budget. Many apps will offer superior functionality for free (although, with dubious legality, ads and hidden fees). Here’s a lineup of such programs:

TubeMate

A generic application with no defining characteristics. It does the job well enough. Also works with Dailymotion, Vimeo and some other services.

YouTube Go

Very minimalistic and lightweight. This one will be especially easy on the CPU - great for outdated phones.

Vedeoder

Sleek and efficient, this downloader offers support for a broader range of hosting websites, such as Facebook and Instagram.

How to download YouTube videos on iPhone & iPad?

It’s harder to find some downloader apps for Apple, but not impossible. Under the watchful eyes of App Store’s curators, several downloader programs have slipped through, and now you can witness them in all their shady glory.

Cloud Video Player

Ahh, the good old Cloud Player. It’s just as humble in concept as it is in execution.

Best Video Player

Background downloads is what this player’s all about. The player functionality isn’t all that developed, in comparison.

Video FLY Lite

There’s nothing new under the sun, and FLY is no exception. It doesn’t try to experiment, but instead, keeps doing what it does best.

What to do when your YouTube downloader stops working?

If your MP4 or MP3 downloader app can't download YouTube videos on Mac, there are several possible solutions. Check your connection, for example. But the easiest way is to get a new, better app that works. Airy for Mac and Windows is very stable and it gets constant updates.

What if you don’t need videos, only music?

When you only need audio and not video, a YouTube to MP3 converter will do. Good downloaders will produce audio files with minimal quality loss, and they should be able to work with playlists, too. Airy can be easily used as an MP3 fetcher app.
