Will we ever get YouTube official app?

[fekish]

Hello,
will we ever get an official YouTube app on our Windows?

I am using so much the easy button to transfer the screen to my Smart TV using Android, but when i use my Nokia phone it gets tad a bit more complicated.

Thanks

Probably not, unless MS and Google get a bit friendlier.

Don't need one......tube cast, mytube and metro tube blows away the official app easily

Agree and I always say this when people are weeping that there's no official YouTube app on WP

TubeCast is the one you want to fling it to your TV.

ok thanks.

I am just one of those guys that is tired of searching "unofficial" apps and wants the easy way of official ones - i dont have the time anymore on searching for alternative apps and testing them...

I will try the ones you indicated, starting with tubecast.

But i guess an agreement between MS and Google should have been made. Such things are important if MS wants to grow its market share.

such things are important if MS wants to grow its market share.

and that is why Google refuses to play ball.

Tubecast is amazing!

But i dont get one thing. Some months ago when i first bought my 735, i searched youtube in the market, and didnt notice this app. Also today when i went to download the app, i saw that it showed just 2 reviews.

Also all other apps show zero or just a couple reviews. What am i doing wrong?

Reviews on store for apps are region based.. Not Global

thanks,
is there a way to get Global reviews? I will be able to understand better which apps are best...

Its a bit stupid for me to see just 2 to nil reviews, because i come from a small island...

You should read about youtube api 3.0 which will roll out in may I think, it will make unofficial apps worse on all platforms

is there a way guys, to see global reviews? I want to understand if an app is good through hundreds of reviews, rather than seeing just 2-3 reviews...

Yet people wonder why Google is being investigated by the EU.

I'm not sure but maybe changing your region on the phone may help. Not global, but change it to US. They'll probably have more reviews. Not sure if this works though.

Which Youtube app are you looking at and I can tell you the ratings from my region?

 

[fekish]

thanks,

changed it to US and AT LAST, i feel that i have a proper market in front of me... I am stupid that i didnt try this the previous 5 months, and was struggling to find if an app is worth it or not...

Good to know that you're having a much better and more convenient experience with your WP.

It doesn't get much better than tubecast. Official app has ads anyway.
