To the none US folk, click this link on your iOS device to get it. (Works in the UK)

Not in the UK yet.. Does the app have native Airplay controls? I'm missing that at the moment!

Google Maps has public transportation directions (I live in NYC), I don't believe Apple Maps does that.

Yay pointless chromebook ad's eating up mobile data...... this app does look a LOT better than the Apple baked version.

I think they (Google) will bring maps to the iphone but I doubt i'll use it, the iOS 6 beta 4 maps are VERY impressive.

it's there just not activated yet. it seems that it will use external apps with in the map app, which really excites me as i feel that's the start of some really great cross app apis

Quality is still downgraded over 3G

It's a YouTube app, it shows the YouTube logo.

A manky old retro TV? Didn't go and was around way too long.

If the iOS 5 trick to change third party app icons without jail breaking hasn't been closed on iOS 6 then you can change it back provided you find the icon image online.

Use the link in the story to open the App Store.

A search for YouTube doesn't yet find the app.

*Calypso* · Sep 11, 2012, 02:44 AM

Had to download it from the US Store, not available in Germany yet. Looks nice, but I'm missing a few features:

- Turn HD on/off
- Play music in the background
- Choose country settings

It does have Airplay controls.

FelixDerKater · Sep 11, 2012, 02:44 AM

I still prefer the old app. The new one is going to be overrun by lengthy ads in due time.

Cool

hopefully there will be a google maps app to follow too as I really miss street view in the new maps app in ios6... Admittedly it's got lots of other good stuff, but I use street view quite a bit when planning a journey.

It's already available. It's called Google Earth. (I believe Google will just update Google Earth to support maps as well, instead of separate app)

Thus begins the monetization of mobile viewing?

ggt · Sep 11, 2012, 02:47 AM

They've broken AirPlay, you have to enable Mirroring before it works and then the video doesn't fill the TV screen.

Mord · Sep 11, 2012, 02:48 AM

Lame.

Ads before every video ensure that I won't use the app.

nagromme · Sep 11, 2012, 02:49 AM

I despise ads, and they’ll make me use YouTube just a little less. But I do think they’re fair game. YouTube isn’t free to run.

Ads aside, this seems good for Apple, Google AND users. I look forward to having a transit app as soon as Google will give it to me! Two maps apps, best of both worlds. I’ll use Apple’s app the most, but Google Transit (in my city) is highly useful. Street view too sometimes.

Haven't had a single ad yet. Maybe just in the US?

jmanley1 · Sep 11, 2012, 02:55 AM

Dang...fall asleep on the couch and wake up with a very much improved YouTube app 6 hours later.

Into the 'Default' Apps the old YouTube app goes...

This new YouTube app is terrific and I've only used it for 1 search. Much more precise and easy to use.

(pessimistic post) sure it's alright now. But you wait. I give it 6 months before it's over-run by adds. Monetization (although necessary) will ruin this app.
