LazyWormApp's Youtube apps - Review

Some fourth dimension ago we showtime mentioned LazyWormApps YouTube app for Windows Phone after information technology was recently updated. The YouTube client made a very good starting time impression and after tinkering with the app for a few days, that impression hasn't faded.

The app comes in two versions, Youtube and Lazytube. LazyWorm's Youtube app is a free, ad-gratuitous, app that gives you access to YouTube. LazyTube is a paid app ($.99) that also gives y'all ad-free access to YouTube likewise every bit Hard disk Streaming and a chameleon alive tile that adapts to the telephone theme.

Oh, before you make the jump to read more about LazyWormApps Youtube apps, you might be interested that the developer is running a fully featured free trail of LazyTube. Not certain how long this offer volition terminal but you can find it here (opens Zune) at the Marketplace.

App Layout

With very few exceptions, YouTube and LazyTube are identical apps. There are some differences which we'll point out later but for the sake of statement, we'll cover the similarities as if they were one application.

The main pages of LazyTube/YouTube makes apply of the Windows Phone 7 metro design by offer you pages for:

• Lazylist: this is a customizable video feed display. In the settings you can choose to view videos from Lazyworm Apps, your YouTube subscriptions, featured vids, most viewed vids, and summit rated videos
• Search: It kinda says it all
• Most Viewed: The most viewed videos from YouTube
• Subscriptions: This is where your YouTube subscriptions show up. Naturally, you'll have to log into your Youtube business relationship to populate this and the Favorites Page (login feature is in the tiptop right corner of the app)
• Favorites: If you tag videos as favorites through YouTube direct or the app, here is where they volition show up
• Recently Played: For quick reference to videos you've viewed but take notwithstanding to tag equally favorites
• Featured: YouTube'southward featured videos for the mean solar day will be highlighted here
• Top Rated: Here is a drove of the top rated videos, voted on by viewers.

If some of these pages seem redundant or you simply don't care to bother with them, you can become into the apps' settings and trim them down or re-club their positioning.

LazyTube'south settings are rather general in nature with pages to set your Country/Region, Video Quality, organize your pages, and determine what appears on your Lazylist.

Video Pages

Once you find a video that catches your fancy, simply tap on the thumbnail to view the videos' pages. Each video will have a Details, Author, and Comments page.

The Details Page volition display the videos like/dislike rating, a slider then you can vote to similar or dislike it, a listing of any related videos, a selectable clarification (stays hidden until you tap on "description")of the video and a thumbnail preview of the video itself.

To view the video full screen, simply rotate your Windows Phone horizontally and the video converts to full-screen automatically. Render the phone horizontal and information technology goes back to the preview size.  Videos can be shared through e-mail or sms as well as posted on Facebook or Twitter.

LazyTube vs. YouTube

The key differences in the 2 YouTube apps is that LazyTube runs $.99, supports HD videos and has a tile the mimics your Windows Phone theme color. We are told by the developers that the Hard disk optimization is still being fine tuned and because of the larger files, it can be a little choppy.

Performance

LazyWormApps has developed 2 very nice, well laid out, YouTube apps. If appearance was the sole factor, I would easily requite both these apps a "x".

Pages loaded smoothly with very little filibuster every bit did individual video pages. Every now and then, there would exist a slight pause returning from the video pages to the apps' principal pages only goose egg that would crusade frustration.

The HD videos loaded great when on wifi and when on the network, were at the mercy of my point signal forcefulness. As long as the signal was potent, load times were fine and the choppyness minimal.

Overall Impression

If your in need of a Youtube app, LazyWormApps has a pair of them worth looking into. LazyTube and YouTube presents the videos in an easy to navigate, somewhat customizable, clean manner.

I liked the layout of the video pages. In separating the details, author information and comments LazyTube/YouTube seemed to brand exploring the videos a piddling more smoother.

Again, the central differences between LazyTube and YouTube is that LazyTube has HD support and a chameleon live tile. YouTube is a free app and can be institute here (opens Zune) at the Market. LazyTube has a gratis trial (for a limited time) with the full version running $.99 and tin be institute hither at the Marketplace.
