YouTube, soundcloud, dailymotion, these are some of the most popular audio and video streaming sites on the internet. We all use them multiple times throughout the day to get our daily dose of entertainment and music. But there is a limitation to these sites. They work only when you have a stable internet connection. And these days you also need a fast internet connection if you want to enjoy content without buffering. An effective solution to this problem is to simply download the videos in your phone and then watch them offline. YouTube offers such a service, you can download YouTube videos without any third party software. But there is a catch to it. First of all, not all videos can be downloaded this way and secondly, they also take up a lot of space on your smartphone.

You must have tried many apps to download online videos, but most of those apps are either malware or they simply don’t work as expected. But now you can say bye bye to this problem. Say Hello to InsTube. InsTube is a free video and music downloader for Android devices. Let’s take a look at its features and see if it’s worth a download.

• Its Free!

You must have heard the phrase “All good things in life are free”. Well, InsTube is free too. We know there are plenty of apps that are free and they all claim to download audio and video effortlessly but the truth is that most of them simply don’t work. Some apps download videos, but at a lower bit rate, while some download videos with badly synchronized audio. InsTube is free of any such problems. Just download the apk file, install the app and you are good to go. It takes very little space and works flawlessly.

• Optimized algorithm for faster video downloading

This a premium feature in a free app. You won’t find this feature in any other similar app. InsTube features an in house developed algorithm that optimizes the whole downloading process. It’s great for those who don’t have a fast internet connection or who live in an area with poor connectivity. InsTube utilizes every last bit of your bandwidth to download videos at the maximum download speed possible. You can even pause the downloading and resume it later. It also preserves the videos if you lose the internet connectivity while downloading the video.

• Download in Full High Definition

No need to download videos in that poor resolution of 240p. InsTube supports video downloading in Full High Definition. It also gives you options to download a video in your prefered resolution. It supports all of the major formats and can even convert a downloaded file to another format. If you like the song, but you only want the audio to save disk space, then you can simply download the video in mp3 format. You don’t need to install any other plugin for this feature. It comes built in and works on all major platforms including soundcloud.

• Privacy

Want to keep your downloaded videos hidden from other people who use your phone, no problem, InsTube is here to help. It features Video Lock. It’s a feature that allows you to lock the download folder from within the app so that only you have access to the videos downloaded through InsTube. It’s a must have feature for those who are concerned about their privacy.

• Not just video, but also audio

There are plenty of poorly designed apps for video downloading, but when it comes to soundcloud the choices are limited. InsTube is one such app that you can use for both video downloading from sites like YouTube and dailymotion, and for downloading audio from Soundcloud. You can download the audio file in varying bitrates according to your preference. If you prefer high quality audio then you can download it in 320kbps or if you want to save some space, then you can download it in a lower bit rate. What’s even better is that InsTube has a great compression algorithm. What it means is that you don’t lose audio quality even when you download the file in a compressed format.

• Supported Sites

YouTube is still at the top when it comes to online videos. But these days you can find tons of video and audio hosting sites on the internet. Instagram and Facebook are also pulling in huge traffic on a daily basis. Most of the free video downloading apps don’t work when it comes to downloading videos from Facebook and instagram. But InsTube does it all and it does it in a flawless manner. Facebook and instagram are just two examples of a long list of sites supported by InsTube. You can also use it for downloading videos from Vevo, Vine and Pagalworld and many other online streaming sites.
