Reviews for Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express
Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express by Dishita
Review by Jay Versluis
Rated 4 out of 5
by Jay Versluis, 6 years agoA superb and easy way to download YouTube videos in full HD at 1080p, where other solutions fail. If you've used the free version, you know how well this system works. With the Pro version (unlocked with a one-off donation), the audio and video appears to be extracted separately, then mixed together on Dishita's server. As soon as this is done, a download option will appear.
Sometimes this step doesn't always work the first time, but simply pressing that green download button again will usually make it happen. I do live streams on YouTube, and I frequently forget to record the clips locally - hence this is an excellent tool to preserve my data for local archiving if I don't have a copy. It's also nice to turn YouTube videos into audio streams for a "podcast listening" experience, or to watch footage when an internet connection is not available.
One small issue I've noticed is that the downloaded clips are our of sync, at least in 1080p (the audio advances video by about 6 frames or 240ms). For me that's not a big issue because I tend to top and tail my footage once downloaded, nevertheless it is slightly annoying having to rectify this in post production. When I contacted Dishita about this issue, all I got was a dismissive brush off, saying that it's not an issue, and a request to please write a review here. That's a slightly sad customer experience in my opinion. I appreciate all the hard work that's gone into this project, but a developer asks users to report issues, and then doesn't acknowledge or look into them, I'm a little confused.
4 stars for this product, I highly recommend it. To make it 5 seas, I'd like to see a better support experience (a "thank you for your donation" would go a long way), and for the sync issue to be fixed.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18874071, 6 days agoIt does not work anymore... I used the pro version, but this add-on hasn't been fixed for months.
- Rated 1 out of 5by larusdlfd, 6 days agoDon't waste your time, Youtube enforced download and this app no longer work.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Chris K, 7 days agoWorked great and I was happy to pay for the Pro-Version, but stopped (due to YouTube-Changes?) some months ago. It is as it is. What I don't like ist that the developer homepage does still pretend that everything works and that there are recent (fake) ratings, talking from "desktop app works great" which simply does not exist on the home page of the developer.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Name, 7 days agoThis addon worked for quite a while. Unfortunately it does not currently :c
Lets hope it can get back up and running again soon! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18871173, 7 days agoThis DOES NOT work. Don't believe any of the positive reviews. They are lies probably created by the developer to trick people into paying for Pro only to find out it doesn't work and there's no way to get a refund. TOTAL SCAM!!! Stay away.
- Rated 1 out of 5by DMichel, 8 days agoLeider funktioniert es aktuell nicht mehr, Firefox 136 unter Windows11 auf Youtube online. Das Popup kommt, aber es passiert nichts und sobald man in der Seite irgendwo hinklickt, verschwindet das Popup untätig.
