Best YouTube Alternative Apps for iPhone and iPad

In our previous article, we handpicked some of the bestYouTube App Alternatives For Androidas well as different ways toplay YouTube in background.But after shifting to iOS, I found none of them working. Although, you may watch YouTube on Dolphin browser toget background playbackand picture in picture effect, but it’s no replacement to a standalone YouTube app. So, after a bit of research, we have lined up some of the best YouTube alternatives

YouTube Alternative Apps for iPhone and iPad

1. Mx Video Player

2. Video Tube

Video Tube free is another high-quality app that allows users to stream YouTube videos. It is specifically optimized for iPhones and iPads providing the most of YouTube features for a seamless experience. you’re able to operate it with a simple widget that opens from the notification center. The search functionality is great and the app is available for free to download from the app store. One can access videos from YouTube, Dailymotion, and other video streaming services as well. I liked the quality of the content curation and the trending section across different categories.

3. VidMate

This freeware is another useful app for the task. VidMate for YouTube offers a crisp user interface covering most of the features from YouTube. The app also comes with an option that lets you stream only the audio from a video file. All said and done VidMate is mostly for music video lovers and the app curates the content in an understandable manner. The floating video window is a nice touch it works somewhat similar to the Picture in Picture mode.

MyTube is one such app that is deemed to be one of the most powerful YouTube clients. It contains all the features you need to seamlessly stream YouTube videos. The app is quite easy to use. But, the best part about MyTube is that you can choose the default region for the suggested videos are associated with. So if you are willing to know what’s popular in a particular region or a foreign country, you can easily set that region as default.All said and done the categories are exhaustive in nature and you can switch between anything from Rap to Meditation music. That being said I wonder why the app has so fewer reviews on the Apple Store

5. Tube Master

This app has a classy blend of the native YouTube app and the iOS layout. You might take up a while to get accustomed to its layout, but once you have worked your way around it, you’ll be pleased to find a lot of goodness packed in. To be frank all of these apps remind me to what extent YouTube lacks when it comes to content curation and content discovery. It is super easy to set up a playlist and also arranges the videos according to your priority. That being said I had a hard time using the app since most of the videos redirect to Vevo, a video service that is not accessible in select regions like India.

6. NetTube

The NetTube app may not be one of the most beautifully laid-out apps, but it offers its users to seamlessly perform rapid searches on both YouTube and SoundCloud. The app is more focused on Music, so if you are typically looking for an alternative to YouTube for playing music videos, this is your go-to app. I love how the app categorizes songs based on the mood and the best part is that it plays Vevo videos even in non-supported regions! If you are on a lookout for new tracks the Discover section will come in handy.

Another cool thing about NetTube is that you can use this app towatch age restricted YouTube videos without signing In.

7. AudioViz

AudioViz is another app for music lovers and probably the best one for playing music videos. This app has a powerful audio rendering. The app’s interface is highly responsive and you’re able to find everything you need under a single window. This is probably the only app that screens out the music from your library and suggests a corresponding YouTube video for them. Users can also manage and edit playlists that spread across different genres and categories. My favorite is the the auto playlist creation feature. With this, the app will ask for your favorate artist and then automatically create a playlist of their best songs till date.

TubeX is one the most popular YouTube alternative app for iPhone. Unlike other apps in the list, TubeX comes with a material and sleak interface.

The app provides you an option to login to your YouTube account, however, if you don’t want to that, you can still create playlists without signing in. It also support video history option.

VideoTube iOS

Overall, the app is great, there are no ads and offers great resolution.
