Of course you’re right. Maybe I just had higher hopes for this app when I installed it. Also I’m not quite sure I understood how it functions. Instead of searching youtube and the likes directly, it seemed to be searching some other database (or youtube but using some sort of other algorithm) . Because typing the same search terms into vtap and youtube returns a whole different set of results, which made for more confusion when looking for stuff. But that is more of a fault in my understanding of what the app does than apps fault.
Either way, your continued reviews for apps are always appreciated. I found things through here I would never have thought existed.

@Szymon: I agree with your observations some of which have already been mentioned in the cons.. Till a dedicated YouTube client for the s60 5th edition is released, we have to be happy either with these third party solutions or the s60v3 edition, ported to s60v5, reviewed here

Upon this site’s recommendation, I installed it and ran it for about 2 days. Nothing but frustration. 1) Some videos didn’t work 2) Unstable on firmware v21: Application would randomly exit, once it froze up my phone all together . Essentially every other time I used it, it would either crash or freeze.
Searching for videos was very unintuitive I found. Lots of duplicate videos come up, but half of them don’t work so you spend time looking for one that works.
Either way.. wasn’t impressed.
