Video Tube (YouTube Player) 1.12

Play videos from YouTube or your own phone with this neat app
Google Play Store is filled with many apps that let you connect a YouTube account and play various videos or manage your uploads. Some of them come with extra features while others are just plain and rudimentary. Video Tube app is filled with extra features, but lacks others that make YouTube a video sharing and social platform.

Unappealing interface without extra themes

The UI is far from intuitive and resembles a utility app, rather than a player. All icons and borders are dark gray and there are no extra themes to choose from. In addition to that, the app takes a while to load and opens with a blank page and the search bar at the top.

There are no categories to browse through so if you're out of inspiration but want to watch something on YouTube, you're left with typing random words. Still, you can search for videos based on relevance, the date they were published, number of views or ratings.

Watch various videos

The app takes a while to load, but comes with plenty of video streaming settings. The landscape mode works perfectly and in portrait mode, you can adjust video size. There's no option of changing audio or video quality, or reading comments.

There is however the option of hiding borders for more screen space, locking the screen mode, adding bookmarks and replaying the video from a certain section. There's also a repeat icon. The major inconvenience of this player is that users can't play and browse videos at the same time, but you can save play position and add a passcode.

Log into your YouTube account or load videos from your device

The app lets you create playlists fast and view your recent history. Log in to your YouTube account and you may manage subscriptions and playlists. The app also lets you load any videos from your device and play them. In addition it comes into multiple languages. There are banner ads at the bottom of the screen which can be removed if you upgrade for 0.99$.
