Videoder Video Downloader App helps you download video and music fast from services like YouTube.

Videoder Video Downloader App is an Android app that helps you download videos and music from the Web. As a mobile user, you have undoubtedly found yourself without Wi-Fi and cellular access and thus with nothing to do. This app lets you create local copies of the content you want to consume so that you can have access to them whenever you want, including when you do not have Internet access.

Programs like this one have been common on PC for a long time but less so on mobile platforms. Part of the problem is how resource-intensive downloading and converting videos can be. But our mobile devices are getting more powerful with each iteration. Videoder Video Downloader App is an ambitious program that seeks to take advantage of those capabilities for our enjoyment.

Videoder provides two modes through which you can access content. The first is direct. Consider a scenario in which you find a YouTube video that you want to save for later. You can copy that URL and paste it directly into Videoder, which will then download it. Videoder also has a discovery mode. Consider a scenario in which you do not know what you want but definitely want a few videos saved, for instance, for that bus ride home. This is where the integrated search feature comes in.

Why not just use the YouTube search? There are a couple of reasons. Using the built-in search eliminates the need to copy and past hyperlinks. In addition, Videoder can query multiple video services at the same time. The program supports most of the popular video services online and even social media platforms like Facebook. This lets you search many sites with just one entry, and the program even supports adding sites that the program does not support by default.

The program will download videos in their native resolution by default whether that means 4K, 1080p or 480p. Often, you may not need videos at their maximum resolution for offline reviewing, and Videoder gives you the space-saving option to downsample those videos as low as 240p in most cases. You can also extract music from video as well as convert video into a format more appropriate for your device. Videoder supports many major formats, such as 3GP, FLV, MOV, MP4 and WMV.

Conversion is a processor-intensive operation. How well your device handles it will depend on how powerful it is. The average mobile device most likely will not handle it well. Conversion can be slow and a real battery drainer. Small clips should be fine. For large files, we generally recommend converting on PC instead. Videoder can even struggle just downloading big files depending on your device. It does have a trim option in advance of downloading, so we recommend using that whenever feasible.
