Best YouTube app out there. Period! Honestly, I've tried them all, but Lazytube offers all the features I expect from a decent YouTube app and offers the most comfortable and easy to use UI. Thumbs up.

Good question.
Features LazyTube has that HTC does not:
- Streaming 720p HD videos
- Customizable navigation
- Customizable video feeds (lazylist)
- Tile icon that adapts to phones theme
- Powerful search filters
I think for the most part though, it's not really the features nor the 'functionality' of the app that truly distinguishes LazyTube from other apps but more the usability and overall experience associated with it.
The best thing I can recommend is for you to try it yourself (as suggested above) and see what you think.
If you do give it a go, please keep us posted how you get on as we'd love to hear your comments and feedback!
As many have found out, lots of suggestions quickly make it into our updates
About the chameleon tile: I prefered the LazyTube tile with the youtube colors rather than the theme color. Too many developers do that, it get boring having a whole main page made of the same color.
As for features, I just love the app.
Keep it up

We've had a lot of positive feedback from the introduction of the chameleon tile and I don't think we can open up an option to select the tile icon
Really glad you like the features!
Keep the suggestions coming guys.
why 720p? can we have 480p instead? the phone only has 800x480 resolution.... hope for an even smoother playback on HD with lower bandwith requirment. (I love this app!)
Best YouTube app available for WP7! Love this app, only one I even kept on my phone. Once I discovered this one, I deleted my Microsoft & HTC YouTube apps. Thanks for this!

Will look into it, seems like sound logic to me !
The addition of HD finally got me to switch from the Free version to LazyTube and pay for it...
I now have SuperTube and LazyTube working together, one for saving videos, the other for watching it, and enjoying the amazing UI...

Any way to save searches? Say, the last 6 searches for lazy ppl like me?
Searches
Will the searches on lazytube ever include vevo videos? If i search for them in lazytube, nothing comes up. Also some of the videos in my favorites that are vevo are not in my favorites on lazytube.

Unfortunately this is to do with YouTube mobile video restrictions If the restrictions are loosened we will most definitely support it!

Pretty much the same way they're able to offer to download videos. There are certain ways to accomplish these things. But google does not allow that. So it's clearly against their rules. Supertube's developers just don't seem to care, which - besides the fact that lazytube offers an in my opinion way better UI - is one reason I would never support or buy their app.

It's not a technical issue but more a legal one
I can't comment with regards to other apps providing this service however to our understanding it's not something that we want to risk our reputation over.
Hi,
If i go on youtube.com with my Omnia 7, when i want to watch a video, it opens the crappy youtube app. Isn't it possible to automatically open the video with your great Lazyworm app ?
thanks.

Has the streaming quality been set to "Low Quality" in settings by any chance?
Nope it is on HQ.
Do you mean that Lazytube usually take over the youtube app ?
Sat Rad Player is a WP7 application that allows you to listen to your Sirius or XM subscription on your WP7 device.
You can use the application for free in trial mode which is fully functional, will never expire, but includes advertisements. Purchasing the application will remove the advertisements permanently.
Marketplace link to US version for US based Sirius/XM subscriptions
Marketplace link to CDN version for Candian based Sirius subscriptions (sorry XM isn't supported currently)
Please Note: In order to use this application, you will need to subscribe to the Internet Streaming option available from Sirius/XM.
The current version does not have access to every channel available through Sirius/XM. This is due to Sirius/XM not keeping their legacy streams up to date after a channel reorg that occurred early last year. I’m working on trying to get these additional channels added to the application. You can find a list of channels available at the following link:
Currently Available Channels
Features
Channel guide data is constantly updated so you know what’s playing on each channel at a glance
Capability to store a list of Favorite Channels
Background Audio – listen while running other tasks on the phone, or while the phone is locked.
When the app is running in the background, navigate to your next Favorite channel in your list by using the mini controller’s Back/Forward buttons. Hit the volume button to bring up the mini controller.
Channel guide quick select – easily search for and navigate to a specific channel
Hot List – like the song you are currently listening to? Add it to your hotlist, so you can remember what that song is for later, and if you like you have the option of purchasing it from the Zune Marketplace to download directly to your phone.
Support for both portrait and landscape orientations.
Theme aware – adapts to the theme you have selected on your phone.
Bluetooth Support - great for when you're riding your bike or motorcycle
Choose between High/Low Quality Streams (US version only). The setting is remembered by Channel.
If anyone has any ideas on what they would like to see in the next version of the app, please let me know! I'm very receptive to other's ideas.
And for any issues relating to the app, or any questions, feel free to post them here, use the 'Email Support' button within the app itself, or send an email to [email protected]. I'm fairly quick in responding to support emails.
Hope you enjoy the app, below are a few screen shots of it in action (click image for larger size):

Hello, I don't know much about coding, or Andriod Developing apps. But came up with this.
A Wesbite/App which can have like a large Online database/torrent whereby users can pick any torrents and simply click on then and STREAM them directly.
After doing some research I found this:
The closest thing is from some Russians, who have managed to successfully, create some sort of new Unique protocol or something like that ^^^, and it works GREAT, however its LIMITED to Russian and TV only.
Could an Developer use this Unique Technology/Protocol and create an English type or library?
The App: Torrent Stream

"Using this software you can watch TV, movies and any other video content broadcast on technology AceStream (formerly Torrent Stream"

The software more info :"
" Ace Stream is an innovative multimedia platform of a new generation, which includes different products and solutions for ordinary Internet users as well as for professional members of the multimedia market.
Note: Ace Stream uses in its core, P2P (peer-to-peer) technology, BitTorrent protocol, which is acknowledged as the most effective protocol to transfer/deliver «».""
Ace Stream platform provides excellent audio-visual quality for Internet online broadcasts/shows and the most effective system of storing and delivering audio and video content.
Note: Ace Stream users watch online video with audio-visual quality level ten times greater than quality of video on YouTube (provided in 1080p format) and many times greater than broadcasts/shows of all other existing services of VoD and Live Stream provided by OTT (Over The Top) service operators, which do not use P2P technology.
No existing Live Stream service or standard CDN operator using unicast can provide live broadcast with the same high level quality, for the same number of viewers, that can be provided by the average Ace Stream user from his personal computer using home Internet-channel!
