I would love to go back to Ios5. Went up to 6 tonight. Devastated to find my You Tube wiped along with history. App to you tube ok but no link through Apple box for TV as far as I can tell. Was a joy to use through Tv. Also seem to be stuck with address bar and page ID bar even on full screen on You Tube. There was no hint of a downside to going to 6. Not good PR for future loyalty.

Extremely, Extremely upset and disappointed with iOS6!!! The loss of YouTube greatly diminishes the experience and overall need for the iPad!


I have downloaded several of the alternative apps and they do not come close to replicating my previous experience. I am highly recommending to friends and family not to upgrade if they wish to keep YouTube (too late for me, unfortunately hope others don't suffer the same fate).


To remove it and not provide a suitable alternative, what was Apple thinking!!!


Was looking forward to upgrading to iPad 3 this x-mas but that is no longer an option without my YouTube experience.


Extremely disappointed and would look forward to seeing the app again.



Sincerely,

Soon to be your ex customer.

Apple was thinking "we don't own YouTube" and so to try to make our own app for it would be illegal as we no longer have Google's permission to do so."


Thankfully, Google already did think of this, and have developed their own YouTube app. The iPod touch and iPhone version is already in the App Store fore free, the iPad version is on it's way soon.
