Updates you don't want to miss

ProTube for YouTube [iOS Universal; $2.99] ProTube is the ultimate, fully featured YouTube app. Version 2.1.1 brings the following changes:

  • IMPORTANT: This update removes the ability to save videos locally for offline playback! Unfortunately I was forced to remove the feature because it violates YouTube's Terms of Service. I did not decide to remove the feature and I would never have, but I was forced to remove it. I am very sorry to all customers who used this feature, I hope you understand the situation, and that this is out of my control.

  • This update also fixes many bugs and improves the stability of the app. More features and improvements are coming soon!
