Look downward at your Windows Phone, odds are if yous want to spotter some YouTube videos y'all take crowd favorite Metrotube installed. Information technology'south been by far one of the best YouTube experiences on any mobile platform even though it'south a third party app. Newcomer myTube looks to challenge them and seems well equipped. It's only as cute and fluid, simply has some killer features that I oasis't seen on any YouTube app on any platform. Let'due south see if it can dethrone the king.

Load upwards myTube for the first time and you'll run across the first 3 videos in the popular department. Swipe to the left and you take all the catergories in YouTube, another swipe left will show all recent uploads for anyone you're subscribed to (you need to be signed in), and ane more than swipe will take yous to the welcome/user screen. Sign in and the welcome department displays your proper noun prominently and puts yous a tap away from your channel, uploads, favorites, playlists, and more.

As far as features go you lot'll discover it having everything you could want in a YouTube client. But there is something that makes myTube insanely awesome – the power to keep you video playing in the background as y'all navigate throughout the app. I can't count the number of times I'll start playing a video on other YouTube apps and accidently backed out while wanting to navigate around. The genius of myTube is that y'all're able to continue searching for videos, read comments, and more than with the video playing in in the background. Cheque out the video in the mail to get an thought of how it works. Or try it yourself.

This is by far one of the smoothest YouTube experiences I've had on any mobile device and really highlights the ingenuity of the programmer community surrounding Windows Phone. A cute and functional app all with super smooth functioning? That's the sign of a actually great Windows Phone app and myTube has it. The craziest part is this is simply the first version of myTube, information technology can but get better with fourth dimension. The foundation laid down by the developer here makes information technology my new favorite YouTube app.

If you want to try out myTube y'all can, information technology's only $0.99 but includes a trial so you tin see if you desire to role with the dollar (practise it). The trial version appears to exist fully functional, just it will limit y'all to watching one hour of video in a three hour period. After that yous'll need to wait 10 minutes before you can watch once again. If you lot similar the app, give the developer your back up and buy it.

Additionally, since this is version i you might discover a bug or a feature you desire in a future version. The programmer seems to take feedback seriously and provides different avenues to contact him in the 'about' section of the app (or try him on Twitter). Yous'll as well notice a link to join the beta of myTube and so you can stay ahead of the curve and assist shape the development of an crawly application for Windows Phone. This is also the aforementioned guy behind Photo Shader, a cool app we highlighted back in February. Speaking of the beta, you lot should join information technology to play videos that are 'mobile restricted' past YouTube. Otherwise there is an update that will exist here in a few days addressing the consequence for non-beta users.

Information technology's neat to have ii killer YouTube apps on Windows Phone. At this point at that place is no way an "official" app could vanquish either Metrotube or myTube. What practice you lot guys think of the newcomer? Sound off below.
