Google launches its standalone YouTube app for iOS 6.
Since the first iOS device hit the market, Apple has included a YouTube client to ensure iPhone users have a dedicated method for viewing cat videos.
Last month, Apple decided to pull the app from its upcoming iOS 6 along with Google's Maps application as a result of an expiring license agreement between the two companies.
Luckily for Apple's millions of dancing cat-loving fans, Google confirmed it would be making a standalone app available for iOS 6. And they didn't disappoint, releasing the new and improved YouTube for iOS just before Apple's big iPhone 5 reveal.
While iPhone 5 users will now have to manually download the app, the search giant promised a slew of improvements over the previously Apple-developed application.
The new app is now available on the iTunes with new features including access to more videos, an improved user interface, suggested search results as well as a new YouTube channel guide.
It's just an app update; must be a slow news day..
I know Steve jobs probably settle on the 3.5" screen original due to wanting it to not be difficult to handle, but as you get used to the larger phones, you realize it is more useful. Although it is more difficult to use, you just need to put a Flygrip case on your phone, and it will make using your phone with one hand a pleasure. Apple should put them on as OEM. I think the small tablets are useless, go with a bigger iphone and a desktop. Thats all you need
i love google version. CC close caption, subtitles are now available.
Foreign film, here i come.
Google needs to enable HD for its app...please
In my opinion, this App is even worse than: The browser version. Why?
-Ads now
-Streaming quality judges your internet speed and adjusts
So now I can't even pick high quality playing youtube in my car because I have 3g -__- Greaaattt
If you have 3G then the video won't even load fast enough to watch it in HD. Though I would like to be able to set the resolution like on the web. 4G would be more than enough to use HD and this app would enable it, but I'm sure people would want to watch 240p to lessen the impact on the data caps.
Not sure why you are being voted down for this. I absolutely agree with you.
Must be a lot of fruity fans in there.
So the Authors are Trolling now? Hey if you hate Apple and want to make snarky comments then DON'T WRITE the article.
