Comments and Reviews
I entered my Youtube login-password to download and it didn't work out for me. It said "Sign in to confirm you are not a bot" in its log. Logging in works in my browser.
The best desktop GUI app for downloading videos from YouTube and other services, based on yt-dlp and exposes all the most important options to the user. Both simple to use and powerful when needed.
This app is also a part of multiple apps by the same developers with similar UI and experience. It's good to have high quality and consistent apps when possible.
