The Only Downside of InsTube Video Downloader

instube youtube downloader cons

One thing that’s common with technical reviews at 3rd Planet Techies is that; every aspect of a product is taken into consideration when publishing a review for it. We neither ignore the risks (or bad side of a product) nor look down on the pros.

Even though we do appreciate the effort invested in creating an awesome app like InsTube, making a premium ads-free version would have been a kill. Most Android users prefer paying a fee (in form of an in-app purchase) to get rid of ads from their day-to-day apps.

The ads that come with InsTube digital media downloading app is somewhat intrusive as it loads multiple times and in several formats.

To us, this isn’t the best approach looking at users-experience POV. But then, when an Android app as good as this is distributed for free, one shouldn’t expect it to be free of ads.

Our InsTube App Review and Verdict

our review and verdict

InsTube is light and free, we trust them. It is a capable app for downloading YouTube videos. We used InsTube to download free videos from YouTube and a few other video sites and didn’t have any bug or security challenges with it. Apart from the many distracting ads, InsTube APK for Android is an excellent mobile app for Youtube Video Downloads.

All in all, we haven’t noticed a major bug or security risk with InsTube app. We’ve tried it out on FaceBook, YouTube, Vimeo and other popular video websites without an issue. The download speed is good, video functions are awesome and the built-in features are excellent for a free app. Our only disappointment is with the intrusive ads. We’d have preferred an option to remove ads via in-app purchases.

You can give the app a try on your Android devices and share your personal experiences with it in the comments section below.

  1. Thanks for your review of Instube app. It is very useful, and I find this tool great for my smartphone,thanks a lot.

  2. Hi,
    My xiaomi redmi 4a does connect to WiFi or even detect WiFi(while other phones and devices do). I tried factory reset and even installed various custom rooms. But the problem still persists. Could you please help me.
    Thanks.

    • Hi Raj,

      Is this a factory issue or it just developed this fault along the line? Is this device still on warranty and have you tried looking out for a solution to similar issues on MiUI forum?
