If you want to take some risk – install any of this apps (you need to just open the website from your mobile device, download installer and run it):
If the browser during installation says that you’ve got no permissions – go to “Options” and grant it. If there is no such question – go to the “Options” of your device then look for some “Security” menu and let your phone install apps from outside sources.
Apps for Android are free but show you Ads. Their functionality is nearly identical and they work like this:
– find desired video through the inside search option
– press “Download” button
– choose video quality
– wait while video is downloading
All three apps can download video in quality up to 4K but if the quality is higher than 1080p then InsTube will download without sound.
