myTube 2.0.1.2 Beta
Windows Phone users have at their disposal a large variety of apps that offer quick access to all YouTube features and one of the all-round utilities especially tailored for such purposes is myTube.
Clean looks and seamless steering trough myriads of clips
The application greets you with a smooth interface that is based on a fluent layout to bring at your fingertips the world of videos available on the well-known online service.
Moving through categories, playlists and search results is as smooth as it can be, with an occasional delay when loading content from a personal area like the videos in the "Subscriptions" section.
All the commands are intuitively placed inside the GUI and the nicely designed live tiles you can pin to the Start screen will allow you to get in an instant to the desired playlist, channel or video.
Save clips, manage content and navigate the YouTube seas of videos
myTube pretty much covers all the possible operations you might need while connected to YouTube. Thus, you can manage the content stored into your account by adding or removing favorites, creating playlists and many more.
Saving videos is also possible with a single tap, so you can view them offline and there is another option for getting only the audio stream. The application also stores the history of the clips you viewed, so you can retrace your steps in a simple manner.
A neat feature of this utility is the ability to keep the playing video on the background and allow you to look at comments or browse clips as transparent overlays that come appear the movie. The app supports HD video playback and you can activate the "Repeat" function to play preferred clips in a loop.
With support for high-definition 1080p videos and 60 fps the app allows you to access content of the highest quality and save it locally or into the connected accounts, becausemyTube enables you to sign in using more than one account.

Bottom Line
Design / UI10
The appearance of this application deserves top marks for good looks, practicality and available customizations, as it enables users to modify the color scheme, choose a design and activate or disable the accent color. |
Function8
Very well prepared for all usage scenarios, myTube can handle virtually any operation regarding the content listed on YouTube, but has some functional glitches. |
Security9
The utility treats well the personal information stored onto the handset as it only needs access to the owner identity and phone identity areas. |
Battery6
Playing back continuously online videos will put some stress on the system resources and increase the power consumption to higher levels. |
Price9
The trial limitation of allowing only one hour of continuous play every 3 hours with a 5 minutes pause is enough for anyone to evaluate the app. |
Compatibility9
The more recent handsets, powered by Windows Phone 8 and above will be able to accommodate this utility without any issues. |
A trusty YouTube companion you can rely on for many tasks
