Who is Taylor?

Yes! First day upgrade here I come!

Youtube's mobile site is still better than this new app.

Only thing it has going for this new app is you can watch VEVO MVs, that's it

It cant be much worse than the never-updated one that Apple made

So apple removes a useful default app but forces 'Stocks' and the sorts on us.

Whilst they may look nice, they fall majorly short of Google Maps when it comes to being up to date and having all the right info available.

Its not as if it wouldn't be expected though - Google has been doing it for years, Apple has been doing it for months.

janderson0719 · Sep 11, 2012, 03:04 AM

Wow. Way more accessible like the desktop version.

Is this what Android folks been having?

SimonTheSoundMa · Sep 11, 2012, 03:04 AM

Where do you find trending, top rated and most watched videos?

For the first time in a native iOS experience, YouTube will show pre-roll adds ahead of its mobile videos. That's the bad news.

Good enough reason for me to to continue using Safari.

Pathetic... Google can't manage to release universal app at the same time... Just for iPhone.

Anyway I'm happy for this new app, I just need this since Apple Maps app works wonderfully.

No, this is more like Google+, I wonder if Kevin Rose designed this app.

Android version is similar to their mobile web site that you can access via Safari.

borgqueenx · Sep 11, 2012, 03:05 AM

I hope apple will support that app just like it did the youtube app now, meaning:

Quit youtube while playing a song and then multitask swipe to left then turn on sound to play youtube video while working on other apps.

Ipad app will also hopefully come soon...

Hope so, I just went from what's written in the story "For the first time in a native iOS experience, YouTube will show pre-roll adds ahead of its mobile videos. That’s the bad news. "

Do you need ios 6 to find it in the app store.

Funny how you believe Apple created its own map app

At the moment you can't find it with iOS 6 either. Apple probably just hasn't updated the search index yet.

They don't do that on android, so why would they do that on iOS?

Wow, the app is amazing! Hoping the Maps app is around the corner. Don't like the Apple one at all. Need my street view!

The 3D maps is a gimmick and they're not even available where I live. Useful features like streetview and transit directions are missing.

iOS 6 maps is, for a lot of people, at launch, a very very backwards step.
