YouTube speed: App vs. Web App

[Massie]

Is it just me, or does the native YouTube app sometimes just refuse to load video at anything but a snail's pace? Yet the same video will play fine in mobile Safari?no stutters, no buffering, etc.

Is there something I'm missing? I'm on an iP4 running 4.3.3.

I was thinking the same thing tonight. I even had it on my 10Mb wifi connection and videos just won't load and keeps buffeting over and over.

Some interesting ideas about changing DNS settings in this thread: iPhone 4 youtube too slow on wifi at home - MacRumors Forums

Let me know if that helps you.

The thing mentioned about high quality video also looks right. As these HD videos take time and they take a lot time to buffer. So it is better to change settings of youtube that may help.

Is there a settings panel for YouTube on the iPhone? I didn't see anything to change...

Using the mobile YouTube app we can select the option to turn on and off the high quality video option.
