We know there's never enough YouTube players out there to satisfy you folks, especially with MetroTube going way recently. A new app is around the corner though called PrimeTube developed by Applyf and we have some early info on it:

Full control over your YouTube account: manage subscriptions, playlists favorites etc.
Search and play videos
Sort and filter
Comment and reply to comments, like/dislike and favorite videos, add to playlists etc.
Pin playlists, favorites, authors and videos
Pinned items feature live tile functionality

Overall it's not too shabby and with that strong Metro design, should appeal to a lot of you who watch a lot of vids on the go. No word on ETA but we hear it's not too far. We'll have more as the app gets closer to release.

I think I'll stick to YouTube Pro because of the ability to download videos and watch at a later time. Once you have that there's no going back!

Haha Agreed!

I hope it loses the gradient colour on the text, looks out of character with WP, or at the least, add an option to disable it.

Looks pretty similar to MetroTube in the few screenshots provided

That's a good thing. MetroTube is/was stunning

Looks great. I hope it's free like MetroTube and supports playing next video on playlist automatically.

If it works as well as it looks (fantastic!), I'm buying another Youtube app.

I just hope its faster that YouTube pro

Exactly.
Was very disappointed with that app after all the wooos it got from wpcentral.
If it cant play the videos without lag then it sucks.

I will cry the day my beloved metrotube stops working. :(

Thank god... My HTC YouTube sucks and its so slow. A lot of times the videos won't even play and i hate how I can't view my playlists

HTC player works fine for me. Really though is there a reason we have 12 YouTube apps? I hardly ever have any problems w the official player or the HTC version. Both are nice clean metro designs and run well. I don't get it...
