Video Downloader - Downloader

What it does

Video Downloader - Downloader combines a web browser, download manager and media player for people who want to save online videos and watch them later. It suits users who need more control than a basic link-saving tool, including the ability to manage several downloads and continue interrupted transfers.

How it works

The built-in browser can identify downloadable media as you browse, reducing the need to copy and paste links between apps. Downloads can run in the background, with options to pause and resume transfers. Progress information and notifications make it easier to see whether a file is still being saved when you leave the app.

Files and playback

The app supports common video and audio formats, including MP4, MP3, M4V, MOV and AVI. It can also handle file types such as PDF and DOC, which gives it a wider role than a video-only utility. An integrated player lets you check saved videos without opening a separate media app.

A private folder with password protection is available for downloaded content that should stay apart from the ordinary gallery. This is useful for anyone sharing a device or keeping personal media separate, although it adds another place to manage files.
