We can't complain about the official YouTube client, to be honest. It offers a sober and simple design, following the guidelines of Google products, and a simple navigation through the contents of the portal, as is usual in the design of the services offered by the Californian company. But just because one does not complain does not mean that we miss things that are not offered by the company's own policy. And these features are what apps like ASTRON aim to make up for.

A YouTube client with extended functions

This unofficial YouTube client offers the user a navigation through all the videos, but incorporating a series of functions as long as we identify ourselves with our user account. And there is no doubt that the two main functions that users will value will be the ability to download videos and audio and playback without advertising.

The app offers the possibility to download video in resolutions ranging from 144p to 1080p, so that they can be downloaded and made available without an Internet connection. At the same time, it offers the possibility to download sound, both in MP3 and M4A format.

Together with other functions, such as playback in the background, it becomes an excellent alternative to the official YouTube app.

Requirements and additional information:

  • The installation of the app by means of the APK file requires the activation of the "Unknown sources" option within Settings>Applications.
