The official app of YouTube It is very complete, yes, but the truth is that it is missing some elements that allow it to be the most complete of all that we have at our disposal.
That is why today we bring you a list with the best apps to download music from YouTube on Android. Something that, for obvious reasons, is not available in the official app and that we cannot even enjoy with the YouTube Music subscription service, or YouTube Premium.
The official application of YouTube It is, by all accounts, a good application. It's stable, well-designed, and has almost all the features you could want. However, it is not the most complete due to the lack of certain options such as downloading music and videos.

In any case, here you will find the easy way to do it from your Android device.
Why are there no apps to download music from YouTube on Google Play?
We bring you a list of the best apps to download music from YouTube on Android mobile devices. Most of these apps are not available on the Google Play Store because the Mountain View company removes these apps, which means we have to download the APK corresponding through third-party services.

Remember, in order to use them, you must activate the possibility of installing apps from "unknown origins", something that the system itself will notify you when you download the APK files and want to run them. If not, you can always find that option in Settings> Security.
