MusicTube 8.4.0.2
For those who want to remain in touch with the latest releases on YouTube, find the most interesting clips and add them to playlists while also managing their account, having a tool like MusicTube onto their Windows Phone handsets might be the right choice.
Familiar front-end, with neat organization
This application comes with an unsophisticated GUI, relaying heavily on the mobile version of the video sharing website, so all the commands and functions are set in place and ready to be used immediately.
Browsing the list of clips that appear in the search area or anywhere else within the app is pretty smooth, but there are some nuisances that will take some of the joy of using this tool.
More precisely, there are a lot of adverts inside, most of them in the form of animated banners and some prompts to rate and review MusicTube will appear occasionally, but they can be deactivated and dismissed with a single tap.
All YouTube functions at hand
The application keeps the main functions inside the menu displayed in the lower part of the screen, but there is also another one that is dedicated entirely to the facilities offered by the online service.
The search function is very responsive, allowing you to find videos, channels and playlists in one go. Content of the highest quality becomes available in instants and you can read the comments of other users and add some of your own.
MusicTube has a smart search feature that can be very useful for locating not only video clips, but also channels and playlists that correspond to the query terms you input.
The video playback is fluent and you have the basic controls at hand, so you can watch the clips in portrait or landscape screen orientations.
Manage your content and add new one on the go
The left-side menu provides instant access to general YouTube areas, as well as to personal account areas, as long as you sign in from inside the utility.
Once you do so, you will have the possibility to add, remove or simply browse the content you stored online. Thus, you can easily create new playlists and play the existing ones, check out the subscription channels, tag videos as favorites and add them to the "Watch later" list.

The practical layout of this utility and the smooth navigation are overshadowed by the numerous and annoying advertisements and prompts. |
Function8
Very well equipped for most YouTube related operations, this application allows its users to enjoy high-quality content hosted on the largest online video sharing service. |
Security7
While functioning, MusicTube looks inside several secure areas of the system even if it has no good reason to do so. |
Battery5
This app will need a lot of energy to function, so the substantial power consumption affects visibly the battery usage. |
Price9
All the features can be enjoyed freely by any user, but they will have to put up with lots of advertisements as well. |
Compatibility10
This utility flirts well with most Windows Phone devices, as it can be deployed onto any handset powered by version 7.5 or higher of the OS. |
