While we wait (in vain) for official YouTube apps, Windows developers have provided us with some great alternatives.

myTube! is one such alternative on Windows Phone. If you're not fond of using the YouTube website on your Windows touch device, myTube! is now rolling out to the Windows 8.1 store with a ton of quality features. myTube! is my personal favourite YouTube app, primarily for its unique take on video scrubbing. You can drag anywhere on the video to scrub forwards or backwards in the timeline, which is far more intuitive than dragging a small control as seen in other apps.
