![]() ![]() I think they're tastefully done, but those who are more sensitive to this motion may not appreciate it as much. There are some nice, subtle parallax effects on the image elements inside the app. Add on top of all this a beautiful font, and you have one of the better looking apps on all of iOS, which really is saying something. I'm also a big fan of the hexagonal icons used throughout the app and make it feel quite unique. They went with a sharp white and red color scheme that both is reminiscent of YouTube and doesn't blend in with the crowd. First off is design this app just looks good. And it's not just 2 or 3 options, I can choose from any of 19(!).īeyond my personal vendettas, ProTube has some other little delights that make it something special. ProTube has all of the curated pages here as well, but it has the common curtesy to ask me what page I want to see when I launch the app. I really don't use this page often (if ever) and spend most of my time in my subscriptions feed. My other concern is that Google always wants to throw you on the "What to Watch" page. It's been marvelous to be able to freely manipulate my YouTube feed from this app. Yes, you can share a video to Twitter, Google+, Facebook, or an email, but what if you want to do something else? What if I want to save a video to Evernote to reference on a trip I'm making soon? What if I want to save one to Pinboard to watch on my desktop at home? And what about using a custom script to download the video to my Amazon S3 storage for archival purposes? These are all things that ProTube allows since it uses the stock iOS share sheet. My biggest concern with the standard YouTube app is that there is no way to get your videos out of YouTube and into whatever app you want. Jonas Gessner has done a great job making ProTube something that addresses those concerns. However, there are some key things that are a constant headache for me when I use it. It's ability to multitask (within the app, at least) with a video playing is very cool, and everything is very responsive and easy to use. Google's own YouTube app is actually quite good. ProTube ($1.99) aims to be the YouTube app that Google would make if they had any interest in you escaping the Google ecosystem. NovemProTube Review: A Better YouTube App for your iPhone
