MegaTube App Review: Overview and Features

MegaTube is a Windows 8.x YouTube player and downloader. It has been very popular with almost 33,000 downloads as of the time of this writing and over 17,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.1. That alone says a lot about the app. It supports x86, x64, ARM, is written in English, and according to the developer, meets accessibility requirements.

  • Downloading – shows items being downloaded
  • Option to pay for the app and remove advertisements ($2.49)

Additional features:

  • Pinning of secondary tiles (you can pin specific videos to start)
  • Resuming playback from pinned secondary tile without reopening the app

MegaTube App Review: Overall Rating

I love this app and would give it a five out of five smilies. It is easy to use, has great features, and is very fast. I use it all the time. Last weekend I had it playing in the audio only stream mode on my Surface 2 and it ran for over 7 hours without a recharge. In my opinion, the best feature of this app is that I can “pin to start” my favorite music and videos.  So, MegaTube gets both thumbs up from me and I honestly can’t come up with any cons.
