The only product I know for watching entire videos offline.

How does this app get around the YouTube license restriction about downloading or caching their videos?

cowchase2• 13 years ago

It's just a matter of time until Apple kills this app. Not even web browsers are allowed to save downloaded YouTube videos for offline use (http://www.icab.de/blog/2013/01/26/app-reviews-are-unpredict...).

I don't know. It is against YouTube's ToS, and the owner's copyright, but the app isn't for YouTube, it's just for videos in general.

If I download Flickr photos with the built in "save image" feature, then I'm violating Flickr's ToS, and the owner's copyright, but it doesn't make the save image feature a bad thing.

iCab can download videos and is far and away the best browser for iOS.

sounds interesting... i give it at least a try.

f* the download restriction...there are tons of apps out there with this function, and i guess google has to put these lines in there rules.

Finally, Instapaper for Video!

There already was an instapaper for video. It was called Spool. First, Google asked them to not download YouTube videos, then Facebook acquired the company and they shut down.

Actually, watchlater is older than Spool...

wouldn't the tech talk channels (confreaks, js, TED…) make a better demo for a place like HN?

just sayin'.
