There are quite a few YouTube apps on Windows and myTube! is one of the best. It won our survey for best YouTube app for Windows Phone and has a Windows version as well. Both have recently received a major update as spotted by the folks at Windows Central.

The change logs are quite long and the majority of the updates apply to both the Windows version and the Windows Phone version but there are a few exclusive each. The most notable is the linking of payment for the apps. If you’ve paid for one version you can now install the other version without having to pay again.

Both Windows and Windows Phone

If you paid for the phone version of the app, you can install the trial of the PC version with no restrictions (and vice versa)
