I prefered the LazyTube tile with the youtube colors rather than the theme color. Too many developers do that, it get boring having a whole main page made of the same color.
As for features, I just love the app.

Glad you like the app! Will try and do something about the tile but we've had quite a bit of positive feedback from the introduction of the latest one/

The apps itself is great (thx for ad free version). I am living in marketplace unsupported country. Once there will be a possibility for buying the app in my country so I will buy it.

Thank you for good work.

Now don't you dare to change that tile again! :p Honestly, it's great. It's just that small area around the word "tube" that adepts the style color. It fits perfectly into the homescreen. I like it exactly the way it is. :)

Thanks for your support, we HATE useless ads cluttering our interface and will try and avoid them for as long as we possibly can!

Yeh, we are really quite happy with how the tile is now and at the end of the day it's nearly impossible to please everyone but we'll continue doing our best.

That's odd. The tile icon on my copy (v 2.2) doesn't change at all. It looks exactly like the icon in the OP. Maybe I need to uninstall/reinstall?

[Edit] Never mind. I just figured out that the complaint was about the Lazy Tube icon, not the free version.

I need to say that I like your app so much. And I am also in the country which cannot buy the app. But if I can in near future, I will buy it for sure.

Just another shallow comment. Would you mind to re-design your application logo?

If you make a theme scrolling down Wormy's body please make that just an add-in skin. That would be Ugly IMO. Sorry.

I have a Question about the Lazylist. You say it's customizeable but how? Also can I make a suggestion? How about a way to make playlist on Youtube(Desktop) that can be imported to your fine App? :)

Hi,

Is there something you could do to improve the Favorites please?

Certain videos do not appear in the said list. The mobile phone restriction shall not apply to smartphones.

HTC YouTube and SuperTube apps give me access to these videos.

Hi, we will constantly be looking to improve our brand image so yes the logo will no doubt change over time. We are currently focusing on some new and exciting functionality so it may be a little bit before we have the time to address the logo but we'll definitely consider it.

Yeh, we've had a very mixed reaction to our beloved lazy worm and it seems like it's very much love/hate. I think for the mean time we'll probably focus on providing an amazing experience rather than skinning the app.

The content displayed within the Lazylist can be selected from within the 'Lazylist' settings screen. So it will populate video content from your preferred feeds and mash them into one list.

We will also definitely consider playlist support for future updates.

Could you please send us an email (support@lazywormapps[DOT]com) with the exact list of videos that are not displaying. We will do our best to get to the bottom of it, if HTC displays them I'm assuming perhaps it is a bug from our end.

Thanks for the fantastic feedback guys!

By the way, expect a little update to be out soon. Although it's a minor update that addresses some pretty nasty bugs we've found we also added in a few features we think you will like :).

These videos are indicated on the website as "cannot be played on mobile phones".

But in my opinion we are not concerned, they are talking about formats that shall not be played on basic phones. Not smartphones. If SuperTube can play them LazyTube shall play them too, seriously. You are limiting your app too much.

Regarding the current LazyTube logo, I shall admit that I do not like it too much. I really did not like the Worm, but the new one is a bit boring. Especially the name "LazyTube" is not very positive. Hard to like somehing that is "Lazy" :(

Why not a real Metro icon, I mean totally the color of the theme, and just the name in transparency? Anyway, I am sure we can do better.

I am a terrible designer, but why not this spirit (just an humble suggestion):

Love the app

I have been using this app since I got my Focus over a month ago. I love it and am waiting anxiously on what new features are in the works. Any hints ;)

We will investigate it further, as I said before we're just trying to be cautious. You mentioned that the HTC app displays them? Can you confirm this, like I said we'd be interested in knowing exactly which videos are not being displayed so we can look into it properly.

Our name and brand is not something that we can change at this stage, admittedly perhaps we went a little too far with the 'light hearted' approach but we wanted to have a little fun with it.

We are a two geeks who like to work through the night and often find ourselves sleeping in so 'lazyworm apps' was kind of a way of making fun of ourselves.

We were hoping people would not take the "lazy" too seriously and see it for what it is, a light hearted way of distinguishing our brand from the rest.

We have had mixed reactions to it and so far people either love it or hate it... so at least we are not 'mediocre' :D

Finally, the icon has been a really tough one as nearly every revision has a similar reaction to that of our brand. Either love or hate, we will no doubt work very hard to improve our brand but as I mentioned we will be focusing on streamlining the app and adding in new features at this stage.

I have been using this app since I got my Focus over a month ago. I love it and am waiting anxiously on what new features are in the works. Any hints ;)

Glad you like it!

Sorry, super secret at this stage ;)
