IOS What’s Your Favorite Hearing App?
Now you’ve seen our list. Do you have a favorite hearing app? If we did not include it in the list above, please comment below and let us know about it!
When social media giant Facebook purchased everyone’s favorite mobile messenger “Whatsapp,” users were promised their data would be private and that they wouldn’t be subject to the shady things that Mark Zuckerberg and crew are known for. That promise is all but gone, leaving many of us seeking alternatives.
As time has gone on, more and more privacy has been taken away from Whatsapp users in the name of “analytical data.” Gone are the days when you could trust this app to be totally private and not expect to get data mined for valuable information – information that could easily be sold to advertisers. Pretty bleak, right? So let’s lighten the mood by presenting you with a bunch of Whatsapp alternatives that aren’t made of broken promises and baby tears. Here are our top picks. Wire Availability:, With end-to-end encryption and a no-nonsense interface, Wire is making some waves on the secure messaging scene.
Made by Skype co-founder Janus Friis, Wire has some heavyweight design nous behind it. You need to provide your your mobile number or email to use the app, though these aren’t shared with other users, who you can communicate with via a username. Timed messages are also an option, letting you self-destruct them between five seconds and one day after you send them. KIK Messenger Availability:, KIK has developed a bit of a salacious reputation over the years as an app used for sexting, drug dealing and all manner of underhanded tomfoolery (as well as standard messaging, of course). If nothing else, that’s testament to one thing: it’s pretty darn private. This free app doesn’t store your phone number, so you’re identifiable only by your username, and all messaging data is stored locally on your phone, leaving your privacy in your hands.
KIK is therefore virtually unmoderated and perfect for the privacy-conscious. LINE Availability:, The biggest WhatsApp competitor you probably haven’t heard of, LINE is a Japanese-developed app that offers a powerful feature set, conference calls, thousands of stickers, and a clean, customizable interface. It uses less data than WhatsApp during calls and end-to-end encryption. While certain features require LINE to access your contacts list, location and so on, all of this is optional, and whatever data you send is encrypted on LINE’s servers. You can also set self-destruct timers to delete messages from LINE’s servers.
Wickr Me Availability: In probably the best endorsement of a privacy-oriented messaging app, Wickr Me is apparently used by journalists, world leaders and other sorts who want to keep their private business private. (No names were specified, mind you, but that’s sort of the point, right?) Like WhatsApp, Wickr Me uses your phone number to log in and contains all manner of silly and fun features like stickers and emojis. But that’s where the similarities end. Wickr doesn’t store your contacts on its servers, doesn’t keep metadata, and deletes messages irretrievably from your phone when you ask it to. It’s free, doesn’t involve ads, and encrypts your data to high heaven.
Telegram Availability:, is perhaps the most worthy alternative to Whatsapp. For starters, it essentially has comparable features like voice and video messages, a phone number-based login system, stickers, emojis, chat bots, groups, channels and so much more. Along with those cool features, Telegram isn’t just a mobile app. That’s right, you can use Telegram on Windows, Mac and even Linux with their desktop app. Alternatively, Telegram has a web chat application for all your messaging needs.
Best of all, and respects your privacy. Kontalk Availability:, Have you ever wanted to host your own “Whatsapp” service? With, this is possible.
This app is an open XMPP-based alternative to Whatsapp that you can keep entirely on your own server. This means you and only you will be in charge of the chat between you and your friends and family, making it the ultimate at respecting your privacy. Kontalk has an app in the Google Play store as well as the F-Droid app store and a desktop client. If you’re looking for a solution that you can make entirely your own, this is the best choice. Antox/Antidote Availability:, Antox is a robust and privacy-respecting messenger application. It supports all of the standard chat features you’d expect. Antox (Antidote on iOS), unlike a lot of the items on this list, isn’t nailed down to one single app.
That’s because it has many officially “blessed” apps for Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, macOS and even FreeBSD. This ultimately is a messaging protocol, and a secure one at that. It’s under heavy development. Ultimately, Tox is very stable, although you should expect bugs once in a while. If you’re looking to oust Whatsapp from your life, don’t mind the risk of using a beta, and want a bit of variety, go with this app. Signal Availability:, is an app for Android, iPhone, macOS, Windows, Linux, and Chrome that is designed around a similar principle to Telegram.
Private communication is based on your phone number, and they promise you’ll avoid SMS and MMS fees, as your number is just used as an ID and not the point of transmission. As Signal is pretty much a more open-sourced Telegram clone, you’ll see comparable features to that service. If you’ve used Telegram and want something more open, you should give this one a shot. Regardless of its “clone” status, it’s a worthy alternative to Whatsapp. Threema Availability:, is a mobile chat platform that puts your privacy first.
Like some other apps on this list, it supports end-to-end encryption of text, images and your GPS location. It also synchronizes with your contacts, making it super easy to find people who are joining the service automatically.
The developers and owners of the service claim that “even we as the server operator have absolutely no way to read your messages,” so you know everything you say is protected and locked away from big companies and governments mining your data. KakaoTalk Availability:, is a chat application for Android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows Phone, Windows and macOS designed to let the world chat on a one-on-one basis or with groups in mind.
Like most modern chat applications, this app supports the sending of multimedia (pictures, videos, etc.). The service might not be as well known as some of the others on this list, but don’t let that turn you off.
It’s a well-designed program and is about as prolific as it gets. If you’ve tried everything on this list already and haven’t found what you want, perhaps you should give kakaoTalk a go. Conclusion Whatsapp used to be a good app, and by most standards, it still is.
Facebook has beefed it up with features and made it incredibly competitive. However, seeing as how this platform is little more than a data-farm for advertisements, people should seriously consider switching to one of the apps on this list. Each alternative to Whatsapp listed here has its own strengths as well as weaknesses. However, one thing they all have in common is that they’re miles removed from any sort of Facebook control. This article was first published in September 2016 and was updated in June 2018. Wire has a clean layout and cool function, encryption is cool and the open sourcing of the server part a few weeks ago, too. But there are big disadvantages: for month the notifications on Android don’t work for me (one of 10 notifications gets through) and apparently for many other users too.
The support says they know and are working on it. And they have 16 (!) tipps on their support page what you can try to get them work.
Another sad fact: when you change your phone you will lose all wire chat history. No export no import. Do you really want to use a messenger which forgets all you conversations by design when changing your phone?
Btw: thanks for the article. One addition: in Russia all people are using Viber – since 2016 it has end to end encryption too.
The purpose of this article is just to make sure that the best YouTube alternatives are talked about in detail with their features highlighted. When online content viewing and creation comes to mind, YouTube is the first name your body involuntarily registers. Unfortunately, with guidelines being revised without any given notices with other complaints in tow, millions of internet users are clamoring for something different; something that will provide them with a stack of content they can view in peace. Looking for top media players to run videos offline?. Best Video Streaming Sites As Youtube Alternatives We have the 10 best sites like YouTube lined up for you to test out, so let us not waste any more time than necessary and detail all those options for you. – Popular Video Sharing site like YouTube If it is not YouTube, then it is definitely Dailymotion.
Our first YouTube replacement is the second-best option you have at your fingertips to start viewing content on a daily basis. Since it features nearly the same layout and provides the same video categories as its video-streaming and uploading rival, users will get accustomed to using Dailymotion immediately. Unfortunately, HD quality uploads are limited to pro users and there is a 4GB video limit, meaning that video uploads of around 60 minutes will be acceptable. This can actually be bad for those that want to upload comprehensive videos for educational purposes and with this limitation they might revert back to YouTube. If you can get around a few issues here and there, Dailymotion can more than likely become your streaming alternative. Pros.
Has less harsh rules than YouTube on removing videos, but that can also be detrimental and uploaders might be free to upload whatever content they want. Features the same layout so you will get used to it right away. Professional quality videos at your viewing disposal. Same lists of video categories to make it easier for you to navigate around.
Cons. High-definition uploads will only be available for pro users. Is not popular in the U.S., even though it has accumulated quite a reach in Europe. Video resolution limit is capped at 1080p 2. – Best Video Streaming Alternative Vimeo might not be competing directly with YouTube, but it sure is one heck of a video streaming alternative.
The platform encourages classy filmmakers to show off their work, and the best part is that when you’re viewing a video, there are less distracting elements in the background to divert your attention away from the juicy bits of the clip. In short, what this means is that you will be focusing on nothing but the video because focusing on distracting elements at the same time can mean you will end up wasting valuable time and might not finish the entire video. Still, there are drawbacks to using Vimeo, especially if you’re a content creator because there is a 500MB weekly upload limit. Nevertheless, this can be upgraded to 5GB but let us face it, 5GB is honestly peanuts to the amount of content being uploaded to YouTube every day.
In case you want to save content from YouTube alternative sites, here we go a free yet powerful solution:. Download live stream, movie, playlist, soundtrack and subtitle from 600+ UGC sites including YouTube. Best of all, you can grab videos in MP4/FLV/WebM (or music in MP3) with up to 4K in quality, and enjoy ad-free playback on local drive or mobile. Metacafe has a 90-second limit on its videos, making it more appealing as a community-based YouTube substitute than an actual content streamer’s delight which makes it one of the best sites like Youtube. It might not come close to its competitors in garnering the total number of views but if you are looking for a ‘no-nonsense’ experience when it comes to shortened clips, there is no reason why you should not choose Metacafe. Pros. Great platform for community-based content to be added.
Attracts around 40 million unique viewers, which is not so bad considering there is little to no garbage content being uploaded Cons. 90-second videos mean comprehensive and detailed videos will not be provided to viewers. Scarce viewership in comparison to YouTube 4. If you love music videos, then you’d better bookmark Vevo as your ‘go to’ streaming website because this YouTube alternative will deliver to you fast, hard, and swiftly. With an endless supply of music videos literally at your fingertips, you can always go here when you want to do absolutely nothing but submerge yourself in lyrics, vocals, and sound. They always say music is therapeutic, and Vevo will become your primary health center when you’re feeling down and out. Unfortunately, it does not present diversified content like YouTube so you might be disappointed with what you find when you browse around it for the first time.
Pros. A treasure for those that want to enjoy an endless repository of music videos. High-definition content will always be guaranteed. ‘Simple to use’ website interface will have you hooked on the streaming platform in no time Cons. Cannot be as diverse as YouTube in terms of content thanks to limitation of the content-type being uploaded. You cannot upload your own music videos so it might become a popular alternative for some people 5.
Twitch started out as a concept at first but quickly became a favorite for viewers and content uploaders whose strict motto is to watch gaming videos and nothing else. For millions of internet users out there, Twitch is ideal for viewing ‘live broadcasting’ videos but its popularity is very pale as opposed to YouTube. In terms of payout, Twitch might not be the suitable alternative but if you absolutely adore gaming videos, then this is the platform you should get stuck to right away. Pros. Very impressive in attracting gamers and content uploaders alike to the website. Game-based content available in massive amounts.
Great for watching live gaming videos Cons. Payout is far less compared to YouTube. You cannot rewind videos.
Streaming performance might be a tad bit slower compared to other websites 6. The name might sound like a storage platform because that is exactly what it is; The Internet Archive is part of the WayBack Machine and houses a lot of content from back when content uploaders and viewers were very few in number.
If you want to state your requirements of watching a wide-range of documentaries, TV series, movies and more, we highly recommend that you start following The Internet Archive religiously. Pros. Huge library of videos present ranging from documentaries to TV series, movies and others that are hard to come by on other platforms. Users can also upload their own content freely Cons. You might not find a whole lot of new content present at The Internet Archive when compared to other streaming and uploading websites 7. If you’re on Facebook and Twitter then there is absolutely no way you have not come across the 9Gag brand. The channel provides copious amounts of entertainment in the form of images, GIFs, memes, and so much more, but here is where things get even better.
9Gag TV is a section that houses an abundant level of videos and though some of them might be NSFW, you will get your dose of entertainment the moment you fire up this channel. Pros. If pure entertainment is what you are seeking for then there is no better place than 9Gag Cons. NSFW videos are also a part of the content, so be careful what you click on. Users might kill hours of precious time by engaging in entertainment videos 8. Veoh is yet another great alternative to YouTube and aside from providing a clean interface for potentially millions of users, there are a lot of perks involved here.
First, you can upload any video of any length, meaning a ‘no holds barred’ situation for content creators here. Secondly, there are lots of social features present which will allow you to start sharing your content amongst friends and other people plus if they like your content, then your popularity will exponentially increase. Search capability is less than a pleasing experience, meaning other users might revert to finding other alternatives 9. This might be a very surprising turn of events but Flicker also allows you to upload content in the form of videos, even though it is going to be in a very limited capacity.
It is an established platform with several features, but there is always going to be room for improvements. Flickr will allow you to make a free account but this particular account is limited to uploading videos with a time limit of just 90 seconds.
However, if you are able to ignore this fact, then there is no question that this YouTube alternative will become a favorite of yours in no time. Pros. Very clean and simple UI will allow first-timers to feel very welcome when searching for a variety of content to stream. Videos can be uploaded freely without any obstacles Cons.
Video uploads are limited to 90 seconds. Only two videos with a time limit of 90 seconds can be uploaded 10. Photobucket is similar to Flickr but presents more options to users ranging from a varied amount of content. It does host a very impressive repository of user-generated videos, but it will still take time for it to provide a higher collection of content and in a broader capacity.
Install driver for mac. Pros. Stellar browsing experience. High-quality content can be uploaded, with a diversified repository readily available Cons. Limited content, for the time being, might not encourage a high level of viewership.
You may download some movies or videos from torrent sites which are in different formats, but unfortunately found that these files will not be compatible with your player. You can achieve torrent to video conversion with. After the recent explosion of cryptocurrency, it is safe to say that we all know that Blockchain is something that is slowly spreading, and has become the latest trend in the technology. The good news is that DTube is based on Blockchain and the good news is that it is a completely decentralized platform that serves as an excellent alternative for YouTube, and the interface is somewhat similar as well. Users can easily browse through the hot, trending, as well as watched videos on their homepage. You have also the option to save the videos that you can watch later, as well as the option to check out the viral content from a list of trending tags. One of the best parts about this website is that DTube is completely without ads, and it uses Steem blockchain to keep the records and users do not have to pay anything to start using this streaming service.
Another great thing here is that if you upload videos on the platform, you will be rewarded with Steem cryptocurrency for seven days, and in addition to that, leaving comments on videos will also give you the chance to win. This is certainly a clever way of attracting the people. However, since it is a relatively new platform, the video repository is on the lower side, and you might not find a lot of videos on the platform.
It is still growing, and definitely has the potential to become one of the best alternatives to YouTube. Pros. Completely ad free. Based on Blockchain. Users get cryptocurrency rewards for uploading videos, and leaving remarks.
Top 8 Alternatives To Noise For Machines
Familiar interface. Cons. Not enough videos. Cannot rival the giant that is YouTube. IGTV Instagram took everyone by surprise when they launched their own streaming platform called IGTV. Now the thing is that this video platform is a lot different as it offers vertical videos that are pretty long in length; needless to say, these videos were specifically created to be watched on smartphones.
As of right now, you can only use the app to watch the videos, however, you can upload your own through the desktop. If you already have an Instagram account, the IGTV can be accessed right away, and free of cost. Users can simply go ahead and follow different channels that they prefer, or they can even browse through the feed that will show you all the content that is going to be based on your preferences. For content creators, IGTV is really great, and you can show your content to a larger audience since you do not have to punch in a URL, search the video you want to watch, and then watch it.
IGTV is certainly going places. Pros. Great for watching videos on smartphone.
Readily available to every Instagram users. Great for making short or longer videos. Cons.
Cannot upload videos from the app. The vertical aspect ratio is not for everyone. If you are looking for something that is far more educational than any other video streaming platform, the Open Video Project is something that you need to look in. This project was launched back in 1998, and works as a digital library that contains about 195 video segments.
The Open Video Project serves as repository of digitized videos, and contains so many documentaries, educational, as well as history related videos. The good news here is that users are given a chance to select from the content by simply using filters, specific time, as well as sound and format. The thing about this platform is that most of the videos on this platform have been given by the government agencies of the United States. The Open Video Project is certainly an intriguing one, but once cannot call it a direct replacement of YouTube, as both platforms are serving the user bases that are drastically different from one and the other. Pros. Great for educational videos. Completely free.
Huge repository of videos. Cons. Not a direct replacement to YouTube. Dated interface.
Facebook’s Search Bar Normally, the Facebook search bar Is used for finding people, places, or pages. However, the neatest trick that has been in the plain sight for a long time is that when you are searching something specific, you can simply click on the “Videos” tab, and gain access to countless videos related to what you were searching. For instance, simply type brownie into the search bar, and click on videos. You will be given so many videos related to brownies.
Now obviously, this is certainly a handy feature, but finding the same level of videos on this platform is simply not possible. That is not to say that this option is not a viable one, it simply is not as cohesive and deep as YouTube. Pros. Easily search videos. Great for finding social media personalities. Cons.
Very limited. PeerTube We all know just how popular the concept of decentralized platforms is becoming, and that is exactly where PeerTube comes in. As the name suggests, PeerTube is a peer-to-peer video streaming and sharing platform that has been making waves in the market. Anyone can go ahead and host the videos they want, the entire interface is simply and neatly done, there are no ads, and you can even look at the trending, as well as recently added section to find the videos that you think are the best. One of the greatest strengths of this platform is that there is no worries about being censored or banned because of content that does not match their communities because on PeerTube, you have the freedom to upload whatever you want. Now the important thing that you need to know here is that PeerTube is relatively new, and at the time of writing there are not a lot of videos available to watch. Still, it looks like it is going to make waves in the streaming market, and bring out some of the best features that people have been wanting for a long time.
Pros. Absolutely no censoring. Peer to peer. Users can host their own videos. Completely free. Cons.
Still has a long way to go. Final Words While it is true that YouTube does sport a massive repository of content, what good is a service when you will be bombarded with an endless list of rules and regulations? This definitely tarnishes the overall experience for content creators and viewers alike. If you’re searching desperately for the best video streaming sites as YouTube alternative, our recommendations have been given above, so let us know which one are you going to switch over to shortly.
