Best YouTube client apps for Windows Phone

Google's reluctance to share one of its core assets with Microsoft, namely giving it full access to its YouTube APIs for an official dedicated app, has brought on one of the best proofs of working free market and competition we've seen in the app industry.

While the big guys keep playing hide and seek with the official YouTube app for Windows Phone, enterprising 3rd party developers have come up with solutions that are better in many aspects than even the one Microsoft launched recently, and was gently asked by Google to take it down, or else.

Features like downloading the videos for offline playback, integrating their sound stream in the stock music player, or keeping them running in the background while you add comments or tinker with the settings are something we can't see even on Android handsets, which are supposed to be the bastion of YouTube-ing, so check out the cool Windows Phone alternatives for your daily YouTube fix in the slideshow below.
