YouTube

The Youtube app brings the power of the world's videos to your phone. Youtube itself provides access to music videos, movies, television shows and other forms of content. Through the app, users get to watch all the content they could watch on their computers.

The app provides each search functionality, allowing users to pick out the content they want to view. Beyond that, it provides the ability to log in, allowing users to save the videos they like, build playlists and even upload their own content directly from their phones. It's one of the most popular apps in the world for a good reason.

View all kinds of videos on YouTube from your Android.

This is an app that is easy to use and what you would find with most other computers and phones. It allows you to watch videos that are on YouTube at any time. All you have to do is search for a video that you want to watch by the title of the clip or the person who is featured in the video. The app resizes the video content so that it fits on your screen, allowing you to see the video in an easier manner instead of the sides being cut off.

Youtube is a social media website for viewing and uploading video content. Each user has a channel where they can upload videos, create playlists, subscribe to other channels, receive notifications, and keep track of their viewing history. You do not have to have an account to be able to view videos. But in order to "like" or comment on them, users must create a channel. Youtube not only promotes the constant creation of new content daily but also allows for users to receive real-time feedback on their work. You may also buy paid for full-length movies from the biggest names in cinema. Youtube boasts more than 1 billion unique visitors and every single minute over 100 hours of video content is uploaded to the site.

Needless to say, Youtube paves the way not only as a social media platform but also as a leader in video viewing. The site is easy enough for a novice to be able to upload with ease as well as the more computer savvy individual to feel right at home. It takes three simple steps of clicking upload, choosing the privacy settings, and clicking on the video you wish to upload to start your own channel.

YouTube, a startup previously acquired by Google, is Google's flagship video sharing outlet. Their app by the same name aims to make playing YouTube videos easy and fast for every Android user.

YouTube originally required an app because their website's player used Flash, and most phones were not able to play Flash content. However, with the dawn of HTML5, they converted their website into HTML5 format, which mobile devices do support. Because of this, it's no longer absolutely necessary to use the app. Just visiting YouTube.com on an Android device will allow the user to access the same content that they would through the app.

The app version still holds some advantages over the website. Namely, the user interface is much easier to use. No matter how optimized the HTML5 website is, the user will always have to go through a browser and then through the website, making for a clunky and disjointed experience. Now, though, the app is responsive and very fast and easy to use. Unfortunately, the app does not allow offline video downloading. While there are many third-party tools and Android apps that do just this, Google refuses to officially support this function.

Other than a lack of support for video downloading, Google nailed it with the YouTube app. Recently updated with an even more modern and responsive interface, there's no reason to not download this small and powerful app today.
