UC Browser for WP : Now Cache Multiple Videos Offline & Play Music In Background

If you are looking for an alternate web browser on Windows Phone, UC Browser is an excellent choice. It’s not only one of the most popular browser on mobile platform but also has become India’s top mobile browsers. We reviewed it sometimes ago and since then the browser has upgraded itself a lot, specially in the upcoming releases which have already been published.

Watch Video Offline: You can cache the videos offline and watch it later. This is useful because when you are on mobile data, the experience is not only slow, but also costly. To make a video available offline, all you need to is tap on the video player and click on the blue icon on bottom left. You can choose to watch offline or play online. The videos are available under download section but you cannot import them outside.

Now many may argue, that this feature is already available and you are correct on that. What has changed is that it now supports multi video download which comes in handy when you have a playlist of videos or just several videos in the same page.

Play Background Music: Many a times when you launch a music file using the browser, it works when till you keep the app in foreground. UC browser now supports song play in background and it should work even when you exit the app i.e. MP3 files are download and then played.

Apart from these, there are few minor changes. First, you can now use the address bar to search for a keyword exactly like you do on your desktop. Second, sharing pictures you found on web has become easier. Long press over images and it first gets downloaded and then you can use the Windows Phone native sharing feature to post on social network or send using email account.

That said one of the best parts of using the browser is caching. It makes almost everything offline which means going back and forth webpages are instant. Their multi-tab feature makes sure there is no refresh happening in case you open it after sometime which happens in IE when you open it after sometime.

It is also able to scan and decode the QR codes on web. As an example, we post QR code along with download link of apps in our posts. You can use it to scan and straightaway launch the app in your store.
