Joost is out!

And just because *you* for some strange reason haven't had any problems, you are literally the only one.

No, he's LITERALLY not the only one. I haven't had any problems at all.

Sure content is limited, but I'm just happy to see some nice video. Anything other than the awful colored blocks that make up a youtube video. I'd rather watch a limited selection of good quality video any day than millions of crap-quality vids. But I understand I am not in the majority, this is why iTunes is successful at selling music.

So far I like it, but they really need to completely redo the interface. Browsing it terrible and it's tough to find the gems through the crap.

I downloaded it the day it came out without realizing it was that new lol.
Anyways... here's what I thought.

It's not like youtube, the main reason being that it doesn't seem to have a video length limit. The searching came up with waaay too many results, I couldn't find anything. The in-video interface is terrible, and the rest of the interface certainly needs work. The categorizing isn't very good, and there isn't enough categorizing options. Also, some things don't seem to have been sorted very well. All that being said, I WAS able to watch Men In Black in very hi def, beginning to end. And I still had 75% of my battery left. So it's a keeper for me. I'm sure it'll be updated soon to address the UI and stability, and when it does it'll be awesome. I don't care about little videos, I've been waiting for full length movies on my touch for EVER and this brought that dream a little closer to reality.

Hmm, the moment the app said I'd have to be on Wifi to use it, I'll probably delete it.

I still like Truveo. Lets you stream podcasts full quality of 3G, also watch youtube videos at their high quality setting over 3G. Plus, some how when I'm searching for something on youtube, I find what I'm looking for right away in Truveo, while the YouTube app seems impossible. Plus there are other video sources besides youtube that this app looks at.

It doesn't work even on wifi for me-Also there are 29 reviews mostly saying the same thing that it doesn't work.

Iv'e seen teh PC version -it's ok but not much choice and searching is difficult. I gave up in the end. Has potential but they need to fix teh iphone app.

Truveo, for me, sucks. I hate watching 1 minute clips of things. What I want (yes me - you may not) is broad access to full TV shows (current and classic) and movies (current and classic). Truveo's iPhone version does not allow much (or any) access to this content.

Mine didn't work at first either but then I restarted and it worked. So you might want to do the same.

anyone facing the same issue as me? It seems all the Joost CSI series are a maximum of 2 minutes. I remembered that I could watch full length episodes on Joost Mac previously.

Ouch, the reviews say it's way to buggy to even use. I'll download once they fix the bugs.
