Installed, and after running, the first thing it did was update itself, but still shows the same version.
If used primarily for YouTube, please note that they do tweak their platform slightly to break third party applications. Ant Downloader which was recently given away has broken due to this. They don't want people simply downloading videos, as they lose ad revenue. Its also worth noting that by simply downloading videos, the uploader loses out on ad revenue too. This can hurt the small uploaders 'just getting by'.
Of note is the lack of conversation of videos to MP3s. Finding music videos or audiobooks is useful, but converting these to MP3s to listen 'offline' is a useful benefit.
EDIT: Looking at the website, this wasn't a feature in this version but after registering the application, this feature is available. Go figure... so ignore whats on their website. Sigh.
The application looks good and clear with an option to download 'best available' videos or HD 1080, HD 720, etc.
When I gave it Spandau Ballet to download, it only gave me the option to download 'Small' (why give me an option to download when there is only one option to select?) but Ant Download Manager found two sizes - 144p and 240p. Unsure which one would be 'Small' as far as this software is concerned. And why did it not find both?
Its also worth noting this software is only for a year. Seems most software is like this now. Gone are the days where you purchased software and it was yours.
Ant Download Manager gives clearer 'feedback' on what you're actually downloading, and is slightly cheaper, and of course, there are loads of other alternatives, including online downloaders.

Not great. Downloads are hit and miss. The 'paste URL' function doesn't appear to work - you have to search by name. I tried four videos and got a 50% hit rate. Two failed with an 'Error: this video may be inappropriate for some users' message. I know what you're thinking but these were clips from a horror film on YouTube not anything more, err, salacious.
The interface is poor and I the 'best quality' setting doesn't always select the highest resolution.
Finally, why does it have to run in the background?
I think I'll be sticking to 4k Downloader.

MSTech office home was stated to be available today in the daily email but when I click link in email it is not there. Has it been removed for some reason? Will it be back?

Hello, Ive been a member/contributer of this site (as long as I can remember) and I've watch users come and go. The, "did you find this question useful" question has been disscused a few times.

It's amazing to come here at 3 am and see 5 comments and the, can you download Twiter question/post, has 3 no's in the, "did you find this question useful" question.

I used to thank giveawayoftheday.com (shameless plug) the company offering the program and as always, our great members who not only test these giveaway's hard but also, take the time to post the good, the bad and the ugly and I would get -21 no's.

I don't get it, how do questions about a program (not my thanks post) bother someone enough to vote on it.
(Sorry, just kept writing more and more)

YouTube would be a plus and would make me want this. So, pass.
