Original ipad, can't connect to YouTube app anymore
Since the YouTube app shipped with my original iPad quit connecting in Jan 2015, I can't reach YouTube.
Some say Safari will connect, but when I click on a YouTube link in Safari, I get the same "can't connect".
New YouTube app on App Store only works with iOS 6 or better, which of course will not run on original iPad.
Is there no official Apple mention of this huge take-away? I know the excuse that it's Google/YouTube who dropped support of the original YouTube app, but Apple owes us at least an FAQ, no?
So what is the best YouTube app now that will run on iOS 5.1.1 on original iPad?
