The Youtube app available previously for Windows Phone has been quite unattractive. But the other apps available did not offer everything that this app offered. The Youtube app for Windows phone has got a major update to give it a real feel. 

Microsoft stated that due to restrictions from Google, it was limited in what it could offer on the Youtube app for Windows Phone and as such had to provide just a link to Youtube’s mobile website. It appears that both the companies have agreed to improve the app to provide more functionality. The newly released update 3.0 for the Youtube app for Windows Phone makes it a real app that offers access to videos, channels, and playlists. These can also be pinned to user’s Windows Phone Start screen. Users can also sign-in to their Youtube account to get access to their playlists and video lists.
