iPhone – Who needs YouTube?
There are times when we need it, and the only thing why it’s a totally interactive experience – the virtual keyboard. What’s so cool about that? When you need it, it’s there when you need it. When you don’t, you’re on your own. I totally agree – the keyboard was a great job for the iPhone…
…Although built-in solid keyboards on smartphones may be a bad idea, the YouTube app haunts horrible nightmares – much worse.
Has Apple lost their minds with YouTube?
With Apple and its partnership together with YouTube for creating the app – and worse – preinstalled on the iPhone (and iPod touch), the YouTube app is definitely (and I really really mean it. Seriously) the worst experience I’ve ever used on an iPhone. And overall, we don’t like it.
The intergrated YouTube video technologies (Apple partnering together with YouTube) are not reliable. Chances are, there are serious compromises. Like being kicked out of the video with an ugly alert message. I don’t trust their intergrated technology.
The old-TV-like icon is a riduculous icon for a YouTube app. They should use an appropriate “tube” logo for the icon. Overall, it gave not only the icon but also a bad look for myself.
Without YouTube preinstalled on the iPhone (and iPod touch), Apple would save much resources that would save us little extra storage, and little extra time, especially reading to the terms.
We really don’t want a YouTube app preinstalled on the iPhone. And we really don’t want Apple to partner together with YouTube to create a preinstalled app full of compromises. If we really want to enjoy YouTube on the iPhone, why can’t we have a standalone YouTube app where we can download it at the App Store? If the guys at YouTube really want to create an app, why can’t the guys at YouTube make their own standalone app for download at the App Store?
Apple should have chosen a better idea for creating a Remote app for download at the App Store. Can’t YouTube do that too?
Let’s hope what will happen next with the upcoming iPhone software version…
Built-in keyboards on smartphones? Bad.
Apple partnering together with YouTube to create a preinstalled app? Worse.
