The official YouTube application for Windows Phone 8 is completely renewed

Between dimes and bickering it seems that Microsoft and Google have found some common ground regarding the YouTube application for Windows Phone. Today, the Redmonds have published an update to the official application of the popular video service owned by the Mountain Viewers. And it's not a minor update, but a complete revamp that finally makes it a true app worthy of Windows Phone 8.

The renewal will be greatly appreciated by users of the Microsoft mobile system, who will now be able to enjoy an official native application.In addition, the update comes with a nice integration with Windows Phone 8, allowing you to pin videos, playlists, channels, and even searches like Live Tiles on the start screen ; supporting the possibility of sharing the content via email, message or in the main social networks; and being compatible with the Children's Corner.

After a long time remaining a simple access to the web, we can finally log in with our YouTube accounts and access our favorite videos and playlists. Among the novelties, the player also stands out, which now shows the video lists on one side and allows you to continue listening to the video even with the screen locked.

Despite the existence of alternatives with very good press like MetroTube, the truth is that the lack of a proper official YouTube application was one of the pending tasks of Windows Phone.After being announced by Microsoft on more than one occasion, its development, not without controversy, has been hard to come by, but it seems that the wait is over for Windows Phone 8 usersThose with Windows Phone 7.5 will have to wait a few more weeks.
