myTube updated with offline playlist support, redesigned thumbnails and more

Nosotros might not become an official YouTube app anytime soon that isn't more than a web player, but we've got some solid tertiary-party alternatives. The 2 that contend for a spot on your Start screen are myTube and Metrotube. It's hard to pick one as a articulate winner since they approach YouTube on Windows Phone slightly dissimilar and therefore both rock. Let's check what's new in the latest myTube update in the meantime.

The terminal big update for myTube came in mid-August. The update brought the power automatically play YouTube playlists, which is super handy if you lot want to listen to a agglomeration of music mixes that come together in a playlist. It too added the ability for languages to become pushed to users without the app needing an update. Hither'southward what'southward new in the latest myTube update:

• Redesigned thumbnails
• Region support
• Offline playlist support
• Playlist creation, editing and sorting
• Pivot playlists to start screen
• Option to remove the app title from the live tile
• Option to pin a static tile
• Amend translation back up
• General bug fixes

That's a nice changelog for an update, only we'll focus on the ii biggest changes to the app.

The offline playlist support works a little different than you might expect. Hither'southward what happens: myTube pulls in playlists based off your YouTube account, from there information technology will create an offline playlist based on whatever videos you lot've downloaded in the app that exist in your other playlists.

The next big change is the redesigned thumbnails. The developer, Christopher Blackman, redesigned thumbnails based off of your feedback and criticism. The text on thumbnails (videos, playlists, and categories) is now a lot smaller, with larger margins, and slight rearrangements of info. In that location are other subtle pattern changes throughout the app in places like folio titles. If y'all aren't a fan of the redesign, you can always go to the "classic" theme in the settings of myTube.

The final big myTube update improved translation dramatically. Users in the beta for myTube can assistance translate the app into their local language. Everything in the app should be translated now assuming a beta tester has worked on their linguistic communication. Right now the app is fully translated in English, German, traditional Chinese, Russian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Croatian, French, Hebrew, Spanish, Czech, Dutch, and Finnish. These languages merely be in myTube because of beta testers, kudos to everyone who helped bring this app into their local linguistic communication. Don't run into your language? Bring together the beta for myTube in the settings for the app in the Store and help translate information technology.

What'southward next for myTube and Christopher? In that location's going to exist a myTube app for Windows 8 coming in mid-November. That will effect in a slight redesign for myTube on Windows Phone as he creates a unified design across both Windows Phone and Windows 8. Want to join the beta for Windows 8? You'll want to talk to Christopher about that.

In the concurrently, take hold of myTube for Windows Phone 8. It's free, but with very reasonable viewing limits. To remove those limits the app is just $0.99. Grab it in the Windows Phone Shop, use the QR lawmaking beneath, or swipe to the correct in our app.
