At the start of the 2000s, when streaming wasn't mainstream, people loved to download movies and TV shows as opposed to streaming them online. Even today, you'll meet a great number of people who prefer downloading content over streaming it, especially those who love movies and TV shows. I personally have five hard drives of 1 TB filled with content from over the years. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. However, all the content I have is pre-2015. Once Netflix and other streaming services became mainstream, I just stopped downloading content and started streaming.
Today we'll be reviewing an app that has been known for its downloading and streaming capabilities. This app enjoyed a peak in the years 2013 and 2014, however over time people started looking for alternatives and it no longer has the same aura it once possessed. Back then, it offered an ultimate Android solution for people looking to download their favorite movies and TV shows via a free platform. Though it is still operational today, the demand for this app has gone down. This app is none other than Hubi.
What is Hubi?
Hubi is a streaming and downloading app that allows users to stream and download a wide range of content, including movies, TV shows, and anime. Unlike today where smartphone streaming is quite usual, Hubi was a breakthrough app allowing smartphone users to download entertainment content for free. For users curious about how it used to work - Hubi wasn't direct streaming or downloading app. It just served as a platform where you'd find links to various third-party websites. This rule of operation is still implemented on streaming services today.
List of Supported Services
The number of supported service on Hubi are as follows: There are 180 Upload, AllMyVideos, Billion Uploads, DaClips DivXStage, DwnSo, EcoStream, FileBox, FileNuke, MovReel, MovShare, MovPod, GorillaVid, MuchShare, NosVideos, NovaMov, NowVideo, Putlocker,, Share Six,, Share Repro,, SockShare,, Stage Vu,, Stream Cloud,, Upload C,, Upload Hero,, Vee HD,, Vidbull,,,, Vk,,,, Vodu,,,, VReer,,,, VideoWeed,,,, VidexDen,,,,,,,, Slasher,,,, Reer,,,,,,,, Youtube,,,,,,,, Zinwa
What should you expect from the Hubi App?
Though the user interface in Hubi was once clean, it doesn't feel that way anymore. That's because developers today are emphasizing form along with functionality. Since Hubi was shining in 2013 and 2014, the developers didn't care to update the interface after that period. So, saying that Hubi's interface is just outdated would be an understatement. Because, if you see it today, you'll find it cartoonish with 3D elements. Much of which can be accredited to brands adopting a flat layout design. But again, it's the developers who should've paid attention and must've innovated the app as per the market standards.
External Video Player
I think that streaming services lack flexibility today. With APKs, you could do things your way and Watch videos in different ways than what is built-in. For instance, you could use external players such as MoboPlayer, VPlayer, MXPlayer, and VLC. Even now, you can still do this. Personally, I feel that a lot of freedom in content consumption and operational functions have been taken away from us.
Sharing features
Hubi is a social media platform that offers a social sharing option and a track of watched videos. It is natural that it would provide these features because they are important to premium streaming services.
Download Options
Hubi allows you to download content on your mobile device without having to stay on the app. You can now download any content from the website and watch it offline at any given time. On top of that, even when you streamed online, the app used its built-in player, so you didn't require a flash player to play the media.
Downloading Content
You can download content from any streaming sites, even those with larger channels like YouTube and Vimeo. The download speed isn't great, but it does get the job done. The download panel is minimalistic and comes with a copy and paste button where the link copied in your clipboard can be pasted instantly.
Streaming Content
Hubi is not currently functioning as it should. This is because it was designed with earlier Android versions in mind and due to frequent invalid error messages the app has become inconsistent. This has caused viewers to become frustrated and has impacted their credibility.
Hubi App Information
Since the year 2010, Hubi has been available to download and use on Android devices. The most recent update, released in 2015, was only 0.50.3, and as a result it is not currently being supported or updated by the developers. Furthermore, since that update there have been no further updates to the app whatsoever; it is still functioning on any Android device version above 2.2. Consequently, we can assume that Hubi has officially died as of September of this year.
How to access Hubi?
You should access Hubi directly by visiting the website. I don't know why you would want to download this app, but if you do, make sure you use a trustworthy website. Dwelling in nostalgia can be costly if you rely on any other third-party streaming site.
Since the developers have made the effort to provide you with the app through APK Pure, that's probably the safest way to download the app without risking your device. If you're new to downloading APKs, follow these points:
file for the messenger app
- Open the APK file and locate the Messenger icon
- Tap on the Messenger icon to open the app
- Log in with your Facebook account
.
- Click on the Unknown Sources box and then click on Enable.
Go to Settings and Security, and then Check Unknown Sources. Click on the Unknown Sources box, and then enable it.
on your device
- Open the app and follow the instructions
Install the app on your device. Open the app and follow the instructions.
Design
The app has very poor 3D icons and elements, with blue borders on every button. I can only refer to the feeling of using this app as nostalgic. The blue, black, and transparent panels with massive icons and outdated social media icons used to work well ago. Today, it just comes off as spammy and complicated. One thing I loved about Hubi was that the interface was not complicated at all. There were no thumbnails. Just search for the content, and if you find it, stream or download it.
App Homepage
Scrolling down, you?ll find a tab that says ?New Posts? followed by a whole bunch of categories such as ?Front Page,? ?Gaming,? and ?Uploads.?
The homepage starts with a gray header section. You'll find a logo on the left and three options towards the right - "Share," "Clipboard," and "Additional options." Under these options, you'd find a search bar where you're required to paste the link. Pretty similar to what the Utorrent app was like back in the day. Under the search bar, there was a massive "Play" button followed by a sleek "Download" button. Under that, you have a "Remove Ads" option at the center, and social icons - Facebook and Twitter towards the right. Scrolling down, you'll find a tab that says "New Posts?" followed by a whole bunch of categories such as "Front Page," "Gaming," and "Uploads."
Inner Pages
There are no inner pages on this app. Since there is no in-built streamer, you can either stream via the Android player or an additional third-party player. So, you paste the link into the search bar, and it'll either redirect you to the external website if you want to stream or will download the app if you click on the download button.
Desktop/Mobile experience
My experience with this platform was good. Back in the day, it was seen as a revolutionary service. However, it is not relevant in today's time because neither does it support the infrastructure, and it can't keep up with the file size we have nowadays. So, we can just see it as a beautiful app with an amazing past.
Suggestions I have for Hubi
Since the developers abandoned this app five years ago, I am not sure if they would want to revive it. If they do want to make a comeback, my primary suggestion would be to revamp the aesthetics.
Conclusion
By 2020, there is nothing that will excite you about this video downloader app. You can download it if you want to reminisce about past apps. However, it has nothing more to offer. Don't get too worked up, and don't expect much from this app.
