TubeMate

SO WHAT DOES TUBEMATE DO? We all love the youtube app. Being able to access the service from a mobile app, in combination with mobile camera technology has really caused the streaming video market to explode out further than any of us could have ever imagined. The one downside that plagues the youtube experience is not being able to save copies of movies that you enjoy watching. Streaming a video from youtube can eat up quite a bit of mobile data. This is why it's so desirable to just download the videos that one plays on a very regular basis. We've all seen youtube Red promising us this feature if we upgrade and try it out. Did you know that people have essentially been using third party options to override youtube and download their favorite movies since back in the PC days? They absolutely have! Tubemate is the type of option that they turned to. Let's take a look at what this app has to offer. HOW DOES TUBEMATE ADD UP? Tubemate offers many of the youtube downloader features that users in the know have grown to expect. It's easy to use. You simply search for your video, and then simply click a green arrow button at the bottom of the app's screen. This brings us to our second expected feature; video quality. After the user hits the green arrow, they will automatically be instructed to choose the appropriate video quality settings. After these two simple steps, the video begins to download onto the memory card of the user's phone. It's literally as easy as that. It's tough to judge exactly how one youtube downloading app will stack up against another really. They all work quickly and allow the user to choose his desired video quality. Tubemate is certainly one of the most talked mobile options, however. While we don't necessarily agree, some critics consider a few of the competing options out there to be too difficult to use. In our opinion, all such apps work quite similarly to this one. This app is the most commonly sought after one, however. It might not be the best, but it was one of the first.

  • No hope of Google/youtube support.......ever. This is because such an app is not approved by them. Many options exist in spite of this fact.
  • Youtube Red might offer enough additional programming that it is worth the purchase. This might be especially true when considering the type of video download feature being discussed in this review.
