Owning to the nearly universal popularity of YouTube, apps for the service are some of the most popular ones around on the Windows Store. Several free and paid solutions are available.
And one of the most popular (and highly rated) ones available is
DownTube. The app receives regular updates, which usually bring more features along with bug fixes, and every new version is downloaded by an increasing amount of users.
Here is a selection from the official description:
“Watch your favorite youtube video clips and download them as video MP4 file or music MP3 file. In addition there is a large library of full length movies for online watching (Comedy movies requires AdFree license which is available for purchase in application) . New movies are added every day.”
As you may have already guessed from the name, the foremost purpose of this free app is to let users watch and download YouTube videos right within the Metro interface.
It also packs features to help users save videos in either MP4 or MP3 format, with no limit to number of concurrent downloads. The built in notification system alerts whenever a download is finished.
The latest build that was recently released brings three changes that improve the overall stability of the app, along with faster loading times and enhance performance. Additionally, the size of the app has been reduced — and it can be used on all versions of Windows 8.
