McTube Pro for YouTube removes caching

20130514-144056.jpg
Today Software Line Inc pushed out an update to my favorite YouTube app for the iPhone.

This update is apparently removing the coveted caching feature at the request of Apple and YouTube. This is one of the two reasons I use McTube as my primary YouTube client.

As for now, I’m not downloading this update. This will become more and more annoying as other apps get updated since I won’t be able to click “Update All”.

Hopefully, in the next update they’ll add it back.

  1. Pisstake! That was the whole point of the app… I’m not udateing either… Fick that!

  2. I fully agree. I also use McTube Pro as my primary YouTube client. Another one that won’t be downloading the update (unless I tap Update All by mistake)

  3. You can click update all and cancel for the age-restricted material and everything will work smoothly.
    Now , The “1” showing on the icon of app store really sucks :/

  4. It’s extremely annoying. The cache feature was why I bought the damn program in the first place. There are other PC based tools that permit capturing of YouTube videos. This was the only app I knew of. Talk about policing!!

    I’m taking a backup of the current app and putting it in my saves folder in case I accidentally hit update all. I’ll at least have the ability to put the old version back.

  5. This upset me. I knew unlimited cache was too good to be true. This was my favorite YouTube app. What a shame. 🙁

  6. It is a shame. I’m not downloading it too, but thera are many cases of people who download the app already updated and payed to download videos.

  7. It’s very wrong what they did. If a person buys a Honda and the dealer tells them a year later they cannot keep the steering wheel because Toyota doesn’t like it, why is the customer responsible? The intent of purchase was to buy an app with caching.

    My iPad no longer shows the app as waiting for update. Maybe it was deleted from the App Store. It should be deleted if it no longer works properly and there’s no way to fix it. Apple approved it originally and that’s all that there is to it.

  8. Thanks for all the comments folks. My update notification has also gone away. Let’s hope they are able to keep the caching feature.
    Thanks for reading.

  9. It is really disappointing, the whole point of using this app was the caching feature!!

    Any recommendation with an app with caching abilities?!
    Thanks in advance.

  10. I do not have any current app recommendation, unfortunately. I, thankfully, had an old version of McTube Pro on my laptop. I was able to restore that and use it.

  11. HEY GUYS!!!!! JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE BUTTON FOR CASHING IS STILL THERE!!!!! ITS JUST INVISIBLE!!! SAME SPOT ON THE SCREEN!!!
