Download videos, play video music in the background and something more? Yes, I’m in.
Those using Android has been spoiled for so many years by Google because Google made them YouTube Go with download feature while on iPhone there were no such app created. (Do note that not all countries has the access to YouTube Go).
That distinction ends today with YouTube++ and Cercube 5 for iOS device.

Just so you know, both YouTube++ and Cercube 5 are not available on the Apple App Store. YouTube++ and Cercube 5 are also not made by Google. They are available on 3rd party app store/website and need you to sideload them to install the app.
So while I’m writing and sharing this, please do your own due diligence to check/measure whether the app is safe to install/not.

Differences between YouTube++ and Cercube 5
Both have similar functionalities, in fact after you sideloaded the app, both Cercube 5 and YouTube++ will have the same icon and name: YouTube.
The main difference between the two – as of when this article is written is that, YouTube++ latest update was back in 2018, while Cercube 5 latest update was back in May 2020. And coincidentally, today morning when I tried running YouTube++, the app always prompt me to update – I guess, this was because Google made some older version of YouTube app obsolete and issued a mandatory update, in which the version that YouTube++ was built upon, is one of the obsolete ones – thus you can’t really use it. However, Cercube 5 is running just fine. So you may want to sideload Cercube 5 instead of YouTube++.
