What does this app do? With this week's announcement of Apple's iPhone 5 and iOS 6, it's fitting that Google should follow suit with something new too. It released YouTube in app form for the iPhone and iPod touch. ( If you hadn't heard, Apple will stop pre-loading Google Maps and YouTube in iOS 6.)

Developed by YouTube engineers, the latest app comes with thousands of more videos, according to a blog post by Andrey Doronichev, head of YouTube mobile.

Log in with your email account, and use a tab at in the upper left hand corner to toggle between the YouTube home feed and your own collection of channels. With one swipe to the left, you can view channels you subscribe to, or, if you are a newcomer, peruse the home feed, which you can adjust to show highlights or uploads only.

Tapping on a video will reveal a few familiar icons on the screen allowing you to like or dislike a video, and view it in full screen mode. You can also comment on or share your selection using Google+, Twitter, Facebook, or email.

Some additional functions allow you to add all of those "cute-cat-doing-funny-things" videos to playlists or favorites, and flag it to watch later.

Is it easy to set up? Yes. Although the app will not come built into iOS 6 as it did with previous versions of Apple's operating software, the standalone version downloads in seconds. Log in with your email account and go!

Should I try it? When you think of online video sharing sites, likely you think of YouTube before anything else. The app's channel guides, sharing capability and full screen mode make viewing videos on your mobile device effortless.

One drawback? Google now allows ads to appear on the screen. That aside, this is a very clean and easy-to-navigate app.
