Considering that you have ended up on this particular article, we assume that you are already aware on what iTube is about but if you don’t then here it is, iTube is this amazing app for iPhone which allows the users to save YouTube videos and see them when offline because no matter how high the YouTube ranks on video platforms around the world, the frustration of not getting to download videos from the platform still nags everyone. Consequently, this tool is a great workaround which is giving you a chance to listen to your favorite songs and watch your all-time loved videos even when you don’t have internet.
Of course there are other tools like Spotify and you can use your mobile data to watch YouTube but it isn’t a cost effective choice because streaming videos suck up a lot of bandwidth especially if you don’t use a mobile data package and not to mention it also eats up your device’s battery because not only you are using mobile data but streaming video music simultaneously as well.
This article lists all the brilliant apps that serve as excellent alternatives to iTube in case you don’t want to use it and then with your understanding you may better make a decision for yourself out of these apps. However before we get started it is imperative that you know that according to the AppStore policy of Apple for publishing apps, it is not allowed to publish an app that defies the privacy policy of another Apple app.
In all reality, YouTube doesn’t let you view its videos offline because they wish to have complete authority on their content. This is the reason for iTube was deleted from the Apple’s AppStore. Hence be quick in downloading the listed below apps because we cannot give you guarantee whether these apps will stay on the AppStore or will be removed.
What are some of the Best iTube alternatives?
Let’s get done with all the talking and move on to the actual purpose of this article which was to guide the users on the top most iTube alternatives that you can select from. It is also advised that you leave in your favorite app in the comments below which will help make others a better decision for themselves.
1. The famous YouTube’s Official app, loved by many, used by all!
Although we just informed you that it doesn’t come under the Privacy Policy of YouTube to watch videos offline however the YouTube App itself shows a little flexibility for some videos that you can save to view offline later on. The set back of this tool is that using this you cannot save any music videos for offline viewing because almost all of such videos do not fall under the category of “save for offline”.
So the question that comes here is that what the actual practical use of this feature is then. Using this official YouTube app you can save podcasts and some videos that are available for educational purposes which will assist you in learning something from the ease of your home.
2. NetTube, the most similar to the iTube!
It is an established fact that the YouTube’s official app built for iPhone doesn’t allow you to download or save its videos for offline use and neither is YouTube planning on doing this, but NetTube comes for the rescue. NetTube is resembles iTube a lot and has all the necessary features that iTube once had, particularly the fact that it lets you save your favorite music videos. It is still unknown as to why this app is still present in the Apple’s AppStore where it is basically mimicking iTube. One other cool thing about NetTube is the fact that it allows you to run apps in the background while listening to the music simultaneously.
Still, don’t waste any more time and get this App on your iDevice as soon as possible before Apple decides to delete it from their AppStore at anytime. It is just like a time ticking bomb.
3. YouTube++, the iPhone Video Platform Savior!
In case all of the above-mentioned alternatives do not work out for you or if you wish to have the most from both the worlds, then the YouTube++ app is basically a mirror app of the official YouTube app just without some additional features. This is that app which is a reflection of what YouTube should have been instead of what it is now. YouTube++ lets you download and save your favorite videos to your Camera Roll. Using this you can also adjust the speed of video and keep listening to music even in the app’s minimized version.
It indeed sounds amazing but the question is as to where can you access this app from, it is an offer of the Cydia tweak, and you will have to jailbreak iPhone for this. Wait! Don’t go anywhere, you can download this app without jailbreaking using the Cydia Impactor!
