Watch YouTube on your Mac

Description
Browse, watch, convert, and download YouTube videos on your Mac faster, because YouView uses the core technologies of Mac OS X to play instead of Flash allowing video to run smoother on systems with lower specs.
YouView contains great parental controls that'll allow any parents control what their children see on YouTube via filters such as Safe search and flagged videos. By default YouView is moderate on parental controls but can be strict if needed.
YouView allows you to choose the max size of video that is loaded such as 1080P. By default it is 480P but can go all the way up to 4k if you system supports it.
When logged in with YouView you have the ability to view your special feeds such as recommendations which shows videos that YouTube thinks you may also like based on your history of viewing.
There is a lot more to YouView than described here, the best way to find out what you can do is to try it out your self.
I require donations for download/converting of video as it isn't an easy task to get together.

Wow! And Wow again!

This is the first time in over two years I'v been able to watch Youtube videos and haven't had to endure a jumpy, blurry track or de-synchronised sound and picture.

Best of all, I can finally catch up on a *megadose* of family albums, pictures and videos. I'll finally know what my niece in Germany looks like. :->

Many, many, many thanks for that and for creating apps for "Tiger people" -- you rock!

Hi!

Great app! Doesnt become a resource hog like when playing in the webbrowser. Ive got a couple ideas for the next update:

1. When a new video opens automatic pause the old one
2. Right click to add to playlist. Great for parties(or a small button to que a video)
3. Maybe a mix button of music videos? Maybe kinda hard to implement.
4. Master volume, or a way to remember what volume one put the last song on.
5. Genres? (Categories in youtube)

Would be awesome if one of these got added. Anyways thanks for an superb app :-)

Great job! Love the app!
I agree with ibook though, the interface could be nicer =)
Any chance of making downloading free next time though?
Please keep making apps!
