PodTube

Because youtube RED is not available in most country, this app allows you to download a youtube video or subscribe to a youtube channel.

The main goal is to be able to subscribe to a channel or a user as we subscribe to podcast. To either have an audio or video podcast from youtube and be able to play in background our favorites youtube shows.

If you share a youtube user / channel / playlist page with pushbullet open it on your phone, click on the share button and select PodTube you will be able to subscribe to this feed

For example : https://www.youtube.com/user/CNN

Or you can directly from your phone share a video or a playlist to either download it or add the feed in your library.

WARNING: PUTTING PODTUBE OR ANY FORK OF IT INTO GOOGLE PLAYSTORE VIOLATES THEIR TERMS OF CONDITIONS.
