I used to use YouTube Downloader but it seems to have shit the bed and isn't updated.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-free-android7-0-youtube-downloader-v8-1.2335450/

Wondering if anyone has any recommended Android app they use and a URL to download said app?

Is there a reason one would use yt-dlp instead of the many other easier options, really wondering what Im missing. There's Seal , newpipe and others

There's a lot of downstream applications that do just use yt-dlp behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure that's how Invidious' download function works. It also supports a metric shitload more services: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/supportedsites.md

Not one in particular, just the first thing that came to mind since I use it a lot on linux. I even use NewPipe on android, didn't even remember it had an option to download
