      Google makes a Youtube app for windows? Or do you mean other platforms?

      • Ronnnie on 24/05/2017 - 13:58

        Yeah I meant compared to their app on other platforms.

          That's what I assumed. Just wanted confirmation in case there is one that I don't know about.

          @Harshad: They destroyed the one for windows phones, it's now just a link to youtube and uses the default web browser on your phone to display stuff….

        I have Windows 10 at home but why can't they let me purchase it from anywhere.

        • rekabkram on 24/05/2017 - 13:32

          Fair enough.
          I suppose the drawback of stopping those that don't understand system requirements from buying things they can't use is that those familiar have a couple of hurdles.

        • superforever on 24/05/2017 - 13:38

          @rekabkram:

          They should remember my login and what devices I have like Android.

          Windows mobile still have so many thing to learn from Android. After years they still can't get handwriting/voice input like Android.

  • cyssero on 24/05/2017 - 11:19

    Such a good app - one of those standouts that is a must have. Experience on Windows 10 Mobile was very good.

    • thisispants on 24/05/2017 - 12:02

      Agreed, this was a fantastic app when I was using windows phone.

      Using snaptube witch downloads the videos with wifi pretty good for the kids if you dont like using data

      PVSTAR+ which can be found in Amazon app store, can access your youtube list and play all songs in the background, its also can be configured to use cache and by that does not requires mobile data.

    • Kikkoman56 on 24/05/2017 - 12:52

      Youtube Red/Google Play Music Subscription also lets you do that, if you'd find use in GPM that is. Not that good if it's the personal plan ($11/month) but family plan split with 6 people is $18/month which works out pretty well.

        ogyoutube is another app, it's pretty much YouTube red for free. I use that, but unfortunately the developer can't update it anymore.

    • Ronnnie on 24/05/2017 - 13:59

      maybe firetube on the Amazon store does that?

    • Toothist on 24/05/2017 - 14:39

      Firefox allows continuous play when locked or minimised

  • loveyoulooongtime on 24/05/2017 - 12:08

    When I get redirected to the Windows Store App to purchase the app, the price is $1.45. Is that happening for anyone else? Am I looking at the store in a different region?

    Thanks for the post OtherSon.

    Edit: this is for Windows 8. Tried on a Win 10 machine and it is free. Please add Win 10 to title.

    I think this is for win 10 only, I have win 8 and it wants to charge me. Please add to title win 10

    • lollyball on 24/05/2017 - 12:11

          This is the new uwp app, so only for windows 10. Uwp are only are compatible with 10.

  • rattle on 24/05/2017 - 12:39

    Thanks very much for the heads up.

  • Hazzard on 24/05/2017 - 12:50

    I have used the app for 3+ years. Dev did a poll within the previous app (v2) on whether to make it free or paid (different prices were included as poll lists) when he releases the new v3 update. Based on the poll, he made it free with an option to donate from within the app. After using v3 for a couple of days, I have to say its significantly better than the previous one. Considered a donation too since the first time round I got it for free.

  • ATangk on 24/05/2017 - 13:24

    So this app is sorta like the youtube app on phones. The exception (so far, please tell me if there are other functions), is that you can download both video and audio for later viewing.

    • Hazzard on 24/05/2017 - 13:34

      Background playback as mentioned in the deal. If you minimize the app, the audio continues playing. I don't think the phone apps for YouTube on ios and android do that. Plus I like the way it does seeking of a video. Simply slide anywhere on the video to seek the video. Finally, no ads. Though this is a controversial feature since creators miss out on revenue.

      • ATangk on 24/05/2017 - 13:36

        True, but I dont have win 10 on my phone anyways :P

        • Hazzard on 24/05/2017 - 13:40

          I was simply saying that the official YouTube apps don't do that since you were comparing it to the phone apps. Wasn't implying you have windows 10 on your phone.

        • ATangk on 24/05/2017 - 13:43

          I only said sorta. I was hoping that the app was something like transparency window option so that you can do things with the video as 50% transparent.

          That said, I can do the above with a program I used for streaming (as a streamer, not watching).

      • Thazza on 25/05/2017 - 07:26

        Actuallly it does if you have Youtube Red from the monthly subscription

    Just a note:

    All saved video files are in
    User\Videos\myTube

    All saved audio files are in
    User\Videos\myTube\DASH

    The audio files can be played by changing the .dasha extension to .mp3

    • Hazzard on 24/05/2017 - 13:54

      Another note:

      720p (and 360p) videos are saved as the standard .mp4 format which I have been transferring to my phone. For the other resolutions, the audio and video files are saved separately.

    I pressed the home button while playing a music video and I was impressed. I then pressed the lock button and song continue to play.
    S*** just got real

    This is something I've been looking for a while now for those 1-hour gym motivational songs. Thanks OP!

    Works flawlessly on my Lumia 950xl.

    • Hazzard on 24/05/2017 - 13:45

      There is zero delay! Previous version had like a 2s gap when it switched to background player.

  • IAmMiguel78 on 24/05/2017 - 15:49

    Thanks OP, just what I have been after for my WP10!

  • jwh on 24/05/2017 - 17:06

    Bought this app some time last year, no regrets paying as it's a great app.

    Only issue was that I couldn't find an option to autoplay saved videos one after the other, used the built in video player instead which does have the option.

  • TwinVader on 24/05/2017 - 20:45

    This is brilliant, background music playback is possible during gameplay, queue a track or playlist and game on!

  • endotherm on 24/05/2017 - 22:06

    If I install this on one Win10 machine now, will I be able to install it on other machines after the free period without having to pay for it? I don't know if the Windows store works the same way as Apple and Android stores.

  • PVA on 24/05/2017 - 22:32

      Windows 10 is incredible, once you've used it you won't want to go back IMO.

    Best app ever, much better than using their website or own app.
