The hard truth: If you are on Android 10+, the 2013 version will likely crash. The 2014 version works best on Android 5, 6, or 7. For modern phones, you are better off using a current version of Seal or YTDLnis from F-Droid, but for the feeling of 2014? Nothing beats VidMate. | Feature | VidMate 2013 | VidMate 2014
