Youtube.app is certainly one of the favourite apps of quite a few on the iPhone. However, Apple has resticted the feature of downloading the videos to the app. But Cydia came up with MxTube which allows you to download and stream videos directly from the app.
However, now we have a alternative to it. aTube Video Downloader is a youtube video grabber for the iPhone via Cydia. Below is a list of features the app possesses.
Features:
- Search for youtube videos
- Choose a video for downloading or streaming
- Watch the video before downloading it
- Simultaneous downloads
- Cancellation of downloads
- Delete videos
- Watch other videos while downloading
- Manage your videos
However, the app still needs some repair. The app is sluggish in its functioning and hangs sometimes. Also it lacks some features downloading options like high quality, low quality, flv+covert etc. which MxTube already has. But its just the first release on Cydia and I expect the app to get better with updates. To download the app search for ‘atube video downloader’ on Cydia

The app is cool..However too slow and sluggish..Nice interface though..
Would rate it lesser than MxTube though as it lacks some key features
I think that yourtube in cydia store is better because it is in the YouTube.app
but if you are looking for something free. Than this is a runner up to mxtube.
What directory are the videos downloaded to?
can’t find where the video are downloaded to which folder using iphonebrowser.
any clue?
Can not open atube on the iPhone tried everything please help.
where is it save to
Videos go in ~/Documents
This program rocks! so user friendly
in a future version could you implement the ability to browse a youtube users channel? That would be the best.
