I'm impressed, huge improvement on the built-in (soon to be no more) Apple app. Good work, Google! No iPad version yet though.

Having a bit of trouble downloading it on the iPhone, won't load past the waiting error. Anyone else having that problem?

I haven't had a chance to use it yet so what's different and what makes it better than Apple's own app?

Its more like the Android version: visually nicer, plus you have more options (share to facebook, etc) that you didnt before.

There is a flaw with Airplay however, you must have mirroring enabled to airplay to an apple tv. this is very awkward and hopefully it will be rectified with an update.

Is the youtube app going to remain on the Apple Tv or is that being replaced as well?

I read somewhere that the license with google has lapsed so google maps and youtube native apps are not part of iOS6, but they will stay on previous versions of iOS

About time, built in YT is phish poor.
Decent app.
Voice search is handy too.

Anyone else getting "general error" a lot? Doesn't seem to play anything for me.

Try deleting the app and reinstalling it?
