I have the older version of McTube which allows it. they brought out a new version instead of updating the old app when they were requested to remove downloads but I'll check out ProTuber just now. 🙂
Got a tip for us?

That's strange, did you ever do a fresh install of iOS 7 or are did you just update to iOS 7 from 6? I would also try resetting all setting in the system settings and see of that helps, if not do a fresh install it should fix it.

You are limited to a certain amount of downloads of videos, so I'm guessing unlimited downloads of videos.

Thanks. Figured it was something like that but couldn't find any info on it.

No problem. I've contacted the Dev a few weeks ago, they responded quickly saying that updates were coming soon about links opening up in the ProTuber app as currently they will just open up in Safari instead of the app, but overall it's way better than the standard YouTube app.

As long as they can keep the download feature. Such a great facility for downloading training guides etc. and viewing them when away from a decent connection.

I'd keep an eye out for patch notes, as Google won't allow downloads and may request them to kill the feature or stop the app from accessing YouTube like they did to Microsoft. So far it's worked great for me. Plus you can save the videos to your library and connect it to your computer and extract that to your computer and watch it there.

Yes, I'll be surprised if the download feature remains. Just noticed it was only released this month which is why it still has this feature. The UI could use some options as the default view has large thumbnails for things in downloads, subscriptions etc. Does seem a fine application though.

Does this app still have downloads? I can't see them in there.

Nope. I'm on LTE and it only plays at low quality. Why Google won't let us select quality I'll never understand.

Yup - In iOS 5, YouTube was an Apple-shipped app that only updated when the OS updated. When iOS 6 was announced, Apple removed the Apple-shipped YouTube app, so Google developed their own, which they can update whenever they feel like. The app works just fine on iOS 5 though. (I have it on my original iPad, which can't run iOS 6.)
Of note: Many of Google's apps have been using this general interface style for a while now - if anything, Apple is moving to be like Google, not the other way around. Or, more likely, they're both moving to a similar target independently.
