YouTube app for Windows Phone 8 gets major update; WP7 update in the works.

Finally Windows Phone 8 gets a decent YouTube client, courtesy of Microsoft of course. Until now, I was using MetroTube as my YouTube client; the only viable option for the Windows Phone platform. 
The redesigned app gets all the goodies Windows Phone 8 has to offer in terms of 3-tiles support. The app can be added to the Kids Corner without risk of the kids watching non-appropriate videos thanks to the YouTube Safety Mode settings.
The Youtube app for Windows Phone 8 is currently available in the Store for free. Owners of Windows Phone 7 will not be left behind as an update is in the works and will be made available soon.


Key Features: 

• Pin any video, playlist, channel, and  search queries to Live Tiles
• Manage your YouTube profile with your unique My YouTube page
• Manage your playlists, uploads, and video lists
• Find channels, videos, and playlists with the quick access search bar 
• Share videos to your social networks, e-mail, and text messages
• Let your kids watch safe videos in Kid’s Corner and keep their own profile
