The videos actually load fast or at times even faster than watching them directly on YouTube. Also, you don't have to worry about those pesky ads popping out while watching videos via Minitube. I believe Minitube has all the right features to satisfy my needs but it still has plenty of room for improvements. MiniTool uTube Downloader, a free, no ads, no bundled software, can help you easily download & convert YouTube to MP3/MP4/WAV/WEBM.

My kids just love this app! Easy to use and a great interface... just love it!
WimDSIf you're looking for a way to check out YouTube clips outside the browser, it's a really elegant solution
LifehackerMakes it impossible to stop watching videos when what you should be doing is writing that program's review.
PCWorldIt's a terrific app that eliminates the need to poke around YouTube's Web site and navigate through a sea of ads, comments, and related videos you may not care about.
OStaticMinitube allows you to search for videos in a breeze without any complications in between.
AppYourMacIt sort of subtly changes your perception of what's going on.
Linux FormatIt's been a long time since I found a program that works out of the box and does what the blurb says it should. Minitube belongs on every multimedia PC.
Linux MagazineI believe you succeeded well in your goal to make watchingvideos more like the experience of watching television, and more enjoyable.
TimI will be installing a copy of Minitube om my Mother's PC. I thinkMinitube would be a terrific way to introduce her to the world of Internetvideo. She really LOVES television, so I think she will like using Minitube aswell.
TimMy 4 years old is a big fan of Minitube ;-)
RobertoA clean, modern interface and no requirement of third party plug-ins makes this program an invaluable tool
TomaaatoMy dad has even told me that this is without a doubt the program that he spends most of his time on (he does other things, but this is almost constantly open in another space playing some traditional Italian music or 1930s comedies).
TomaaatoGreat app! Was hesitant to buy, but it did what it said and was exactly what I was after!
James BedfordWorks very well and is genuinely useful.
Allan CampbellAt first, I was skeptical of the utility of Minitube. After installing it, and running it, I 'get' the purpose, and would gladly recommend it
Will, Stormfront TechWas dubious to buy ... sounded basic... but thats the clever thing - it is! choose you search subject and off you go... continious material on that subject - Simples! well worth it!
