Google has today released its Material Design makeover for its YouTube app for iOS devices, months after the update was released for Android devices.
The new update brings a redesign that skewers away from the iOS 'look' of the previous version in favor of a Android look.
The redesign offers a new three part system: Home, Subscriptions, and Account, with the buttons in a huge red bar that unnecessarily takes up around one quarter of the screen (on iPhone).
Also included in the update is new in-app editing tool, making it easy for users to create and edit a video on the fly. There is also a new app icon which is the red YouTube play button logo on a white background, matching other Google apps on iOS.
The update is slowing roiling out to users in the App Store, even the redesign may not appear immediately after updating.
> YouTube for iOS is available for free from the App Store.
