TouchTube 5.0.5.0
For those who want to remain in touch with the latest releases on YouTube, find the most interesting clips and save them for offline viewing while on the go, having a tool like TouchTube onto their Windows Phone handsets might be the right choice.
Cool looks, with a neatly structured layout
This utility comes to greet you with a nice GUI, where all the functions and tools are kept at hand, easy to reach and use. The animated tile shown inside the home screen for the "Subscriptions" section is a nice touch as well.
Moving around the various menus and areas of the application is done seamlessly and without any visible lags, while the video playback is also smooth, even with the high-quality or high-definition modes activated.
After one or two uses you will encounter some prompts to rate and review TouchTube, but they can be disabled and dismissed with two taps. More intrusive are the advertisement banners that show up in every corner of the app and keep on changing continuously.
Log into your account to access the content on the fly
The app is able to provide a set of neat features that you can use to add, remove or simply browse the content stored in you personal YouTube account.
Thus, you will be able to 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.
Adding comments to the clips you like is easy to carry out also and you can review the list of clips you played from the dedicated section of the app.
Search, play and save videos
TouchTube comes with 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. There are several filtering options, including one that enables you to have only HD videos shown in the results list.
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. In order to keep a certain video, tap the download button and the content will be immediately transferred and you can access it offline from the app's database.
Another great addition to the feature set is the ability to record clips on the spot and once they are saved, you will be able to upload them into your account with a few taps.

The massive power consumption of TouchTube is keeping the battery usage at very high levels at all times. |
