Furthermore — with a
clean user interface
that is not clogged with numerous buttons — anyone can use the app with ease. Similar to
YouTube
, users
type a keyword
on the search bar to find their desired video. The best part about Video Downloader Pro is it downloads videos in
high quality
, elevating your viewing experience.
Select a video quality
To get started, launch the Video Downloader Pro app and enter a keyword after which it will generate a list of search results. Tap on a video to
watch or download
it to your device. The download button is found at the top of the screen. Beside the download icon is another button that presents a dropdown menu of various video formats, such as
MPEG-4 720p
, WebM 360p,
MPEG-4 360p
, 3GPP 240p, and
3GPP 144p
— though it would be great if there’s a 1080p option.
Once the app begins downloading your video, you’ll be able to
see its progress
as well as the file size in
“My Downloads.”
You can
save multiple videos
simultaneously, too. Once the file has been downloaded, it is now available for offline viewing. If you go to the program’s settings, there are options for enabling
“Use external video player”
or “Use external audio player,” changing the default resolution or format, and the like.
Lacks privacy protection features
It’s important to remember that the app functions both as a downloader and a platform for watching videos of various genres and themes. However — unlike InShot Inc.’s
Video Downloader
— Video Downloader Pro
lacks a password mechanism
for safeguarding sensitive video files, putting them at risk of unauthorized access. There are
no built-in video-editing tools
, either, so users have to install third-party editors like
KineMaster
or
PowerDirector
.
Sadly, this video downloader is
no longer supported
by the developer. Upon launching, the program will tell you to delete this program and download the newer version on the PlayStore. If you tap
“
Update,” the app will only redirect you to an error page on
Google Play
. Thankfully, there are working downloaders in the market right now, including
Pure All Video Downloader
by PureBrowser and Battery Stats Saver’s
All File & Video Downloader
.
A non-working downloader
While the app is not supported by the developer anymore, Video Downloader Pro delivers a seamless user experience with its no-fuss downloading process and clean interface. Moreover, the option to select your preferred file format and display resolution added a level of agency over the quality of your downloaded video. When it comes to privacy, it is the app’s biggest weakness, as it lacks a password protection system.
