Features

The SmartTube APK comprises many features you can enjoy on your Android device, smart TV, or any other streaming device available in your home. Some of these fantastic features include:

SponsorBlock

If you’ve ever watched a Hollywood movie, you probably noticed that every film opens by showcasing the companies involved in the production, including the sponsors. If you’re unlucky, the first minute of the entire film may trick you into believing the movie has already started, only to realize that you’ve been viewing the different production companies involved in creating the film. The same concept applies to videos on YouTube with the intros, outros, and sponsor segments designed to beg for likes and subscriptions.

With SponsorBlock on the SmartTube App, I can skip over these sponsors, subscription reminders, intros, outros, and other annoying video segments. The service is open source and crowdsourced, allowing anyone to suggest the start and end times of sponsored segments of videos on the platform for everyone else to skip right over. It also lets me skip over the non-music segments of all music videos and gets me straight to the entertainment part, saving me lots of time.

No Ads

I love the old versions of video streaming platforms. They were simple, informational, and full of content. Today, they try to squeeze every penny from us by selling premium memberships and VIP packages, each of which has one thing in common: no ads. Ads have become the selling point for almost all businesses because the more they advertise, the more clients they get.

This is fine and all, but when it’s at the expense of users on streaming apps, whereby you can’t go five minutes without an unskippable video ad, it not only becomes extremely annoying. The SmartTube APK is an ad-free zone for anyone looking to save time while getting the most out of their streaming experience. You don’t need a premium account with the SmartTube application because everything’s free to you, the premium user.

YouTube Premium

YouTube has gone from a classic video streaming platform to a modern battlefield where businesses and sponsors fight over subscriptions, likes, and shares, all in the name of content creation. You’d probably only find a handful of true content creators who still make content out of their own free will and without the control or interference of their sponsors. These can all be seen in the many ads intruding on every video on the platform. Some are unskippable, forcing me to endure 5 minutes of an entire hour’s video watching senseless ads.

The solution: YouTube Premium. But how many people can really afford or are willing to pay for premium memberships just so they can enjoy an ad-free streaming experience, video playback, and other VIP features? The SmartTube APK gives you full access to YouTube Premium Features allowing you to enjoy uninterrupted streaming at your fingertips.

YouTube Music Premium

Ad-free music streaming, background playback, Early access to the latest music releases, live performances, videos, accurate lyrics, and podcasts are some of the many features of YouTube Music Premium. Unless you have the premium package, you’re limited to ads on your platform and low-quality audio that, for keen users, doesn’t slap as well as the highest-quality sound. People have been brainwashed to believe that without the premium subscription, you’d miss out on a lot.

While this might be true, you don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars a year paying for the many premium packages when there are apps like SmartTube that offer them free of charge. With the SmartTube APK, you can access YouTube Music Premium’s features, including videos and music playback, ad-free streaming, and fast downloads for your favorite content without the sponsor segments involved.

Supports Upto 8K

Most users don’t own an 8K smartphone or smart TV and hence cannot experience the profound display that is Ultra HD resolution. However, with more affordable devices coming out today, you don’t need an expensive Apple or Samsung TV to enjoy 8K video playback. You can get yourself a brand that supports 8K videos and experience quality images that could probably be better than your eyesight.

The SmartTube application supports up to 8K video playback on any device with the capabilities and specifications for handling such qualities. It would be easy to describe what 8K looks like, but until you’ve experienced the true majesty of this image or video quality, you’ll never understand the actual feeling.

Works Without Google Play Services

Google Play Services helps me keep my accounts in sync. I can retrieve my YouTube history when logged into a different device using this service and maintain the same progress I had in a game before I uninstalled it and decided to reinstall it later. Some apps can’t function without the service, forcing you to log in using your Google account before accessing the contents. While Google Play Services has its perks, it’s grown into a monopoly that restricts users from accessing various services without its presence.

What’s the downside to this? Your activities online are always monitored, and specific ads are tailored toward your searches and history. Why do you think you’d always get recipe ads after watching 2 or 3 cooking videos on YouTube? The solution: SmartTube APK. You can watch all the videos you need on SmartTube APK without using your Google account. Alternatively, if you need to access your watch history, playlists, subscription channels, and liked videos, you might need to log into your Google account, which is also an option with the application.

Multi-Linguistic

While many people can understand English, many users online are foreign speakers and prefer navigating through various platforms in their native languages. As such, SmartTube was designed for everyone to enjoy their favorite content in their preferred language by letting you choose between many options like Arabic, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Danish, and Hindi, among others.

Background Playback

If I’m hooked on an interesting video on YouTube and an incoming notification requires instant attention, I’d like to handle both activities simultaneously. However, once I exit YouTube, everything stops playing, and chances are, I’d lose interest in the video, especially if it were educational or required for my research.

The SmartTube APK lets me switch between apps without pausing the entertainment using background playback. Your video can be minimized in the background allowing you to compose a long text to your significant other while still enjoying the media content. If you need the entire screen, you can always exit the minimized screen, and the video’s audio will keep playing in the background as you handle other activities on your device.

Like, Dislike & Subscribe Options Available

YouTube hides the dislike counts for its videos to remove the dislike influence whenever someone likes a video but opts to give it a thumbs down just because it has more dislikes than likes. So, SmartTube uses Return YouTube Dislike API to fetch the extrapolated data. Well, you can see all the likes, dislikes, and subscriber counts on any video, allowing you to see what everyone else thought about a specific video.

Organized Categories

SmartTube is neatly organized into categories to help users find what they need immediately. You can access the home option in the menu bar to get recent and recommended videos or opt to choose from a range of other categories, such as:

• Gaming
• News
• Music
• Channels
• Subscriptions
• History
• Playlists
• Settings

User Interface Settings

Here you get to play with several user interface adjustments designed to provide the best streaming experience on the platform, including:

• Choose your preferred color scheme between teal, dark grey, and red variants.
• Pick your desired part of videos to grab thumbnails.
• Select your best card style, including animated previews, multiline titles/subtitles, and auto-scroll cropped titles.
• Adjust the card text scroll speed ranging from 1x to 8x.
• Sort your channel section in your desired order.
• Pick your desired UI scale ranging from 0.8x to 1.4x.

Change Region

YouTube has a diverse range of content. While I thought I was getting more content from different regions in the world, it wasn’t until I started changing the region on SmartTube that I realized how much I was missing out on. You can change the region of your videos to showcase content from a different country and learn more about the nations around you than you ever did in school. This feature is a game changer because while I was only fixed on one region, I found many other interesting content and creators worthy of my subscription in foreign nations.

Video Player Settings

SmartTube lets you adjust the various video player settings, such as:

• Video presets whereby you can opt for none or select from a range of available preset options.
• Choose the level of video buffer ranging from none to high.
• Adjust the volume limit with options ranging from 0.0x to 1.0x.
• Select which player buttons you want to be displayed while watching your video.
• Choose the proper pixel ratio for your viewing.
• Enable or disable various developer options, including playback notifications, livestream fixes, and aspect ratio.

Subtitle Settings

Most streaming services only let you activate or deactivate subtitles in your videos. There aren’t any other settings users can access for these subtitles, and the worst part is that sometimes, they’re not even accurate. You might find yourself watching a foreign film with subtitles that seem right to you, only to realize, upon further investigation, that they have dictated an entirely different film in the text from the video.

The SmartTube APK lets users control the subtitle style, scale, and bottom shift. You can choose between white and yellow text on transparent, semitransparent, or black backgrounds. Your scale options range from 0.1x to 2.0x, providing the best size for your viewing needs.

Final Words

If you still need a reason to consider the SmartTube APK, just remember that it’s a safe and secure platform that won’t track your online activities as most Google-based media do. You’ll only be provided with the intended content without any interruptions. Download the app today on your device and experience streaming like no other.
