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.
Do you use this app? Do you like it? Let me know what you think.
