The new YouTube app doesn't remember or allow access to your list of Favorites in the old YouTube app.
BUMMER!

Slightly disappointed that there's no option to like/dislike and reply to a comment and with the lack of being able to view the Top Comment for a particular video. Hopefully they'll be addressed in a future update.
AppStore sucks on IOS6. Search for youtube and sift through 50 pages without finding it.
Had to find another app by google, click view more apps by google, sift through all those but not there, then click the link that says see all apps by google. Sift through those and finally find it.
Sucks you can't find an app even when you search for it by name.
This happens with EVERY new app that comes out... it just takes some time before it is searchable.
I'm sure they will! The best part of an App being available in the App Store is that it can get updated very frequently.
Unlike that old YouTube app...
For some reason when I try to share to FaceBook the FaceBook app opens and then closes. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Also, does anyone know the order that the app puts your subscribed channels in? It does not appear to be alphabetical (which I do not like) and it does not appear to be based on when something was last uploaded. Just curious.
Tbh I'm really NOT an email power user! Just your average Joe when it comes to email.
I do have multiple accounts which the Mail app is decent at, but for my primary one, I'm now happier with the Gmail app. As you say, each to their own.
I'll make an assumption they are going to do their best to bring it to android parity now that they have full control.
All concerns above are in the android app. (except top comment for some reason).
As much as ads annoy some of us, YOutube is a great service that is provided for free, most of their pre-rolls are skippable after 5 seconds....I'm ok with them having it.
Though if people want to skirt around it more power to them.
I had time to play around with it for about an hour today, and I must admit... I love it. It's nice and refreshing and a huge update compared to the stock YouTube app. I also love how I can read through the comments while watching a video. I just wished it showed the top comment, and also allowed you to reply to a comment.
Thank you Google! I hated the old Youtube app. I guess thank you Apple as well, for finally letting someone else do the Youtube functionality.
On my iPhone, I'm getting a white bar approx. a couple of pixels high across the top of the app that repeatedly inserts itself and then goes away. It makes the app's screen jittery as it the app jumps up and down those few pixels.
Typical lack of fit and finish on the part of Google.

I love this new application! Finally, there is an actual page for each channel (probably the most annoying thing about the old application...couldn't even view a channel's page). Playlists, channel feed, non-fullscreen, etc. are all nice as well. Like others have mentioned, wish there was a way to view the number of likes, top comments, as well as replying to comments (which would ultimately enable comment threads).
I think the most annoying part is how it's in a card format so when you search and want to get to the fifth search result, you have to swipe four times instead of it already showing up.
