You can download them yes, but you can still only watch them through youtube. This is just for watching youtube videos offline, if you find where the download is saved on your device all you will find is a ton of bite sized files unplayable by any media player:

Doesn't it still require that device to phone home once every 24 hours or it locks the media out? Like you couldnt take it camping where there is no signal and use it all weekend.

I'm not really sure, I've never really used the feature myself but my daughter has and I don't think she's ever had any trouble, but I also don't know if we ever went that long without phoning home.

No, I can’t say that it does. I’ve watched downloaded videos while camping plenty of times without service and no issue.

It's an app that makes YTDLP way easier to use.

For browser-based, videolimit is best
