Juno YouTube App for Vision Pro Gains New Features in First Update

I can only assume that MacRumours thinks that wearing the Vision Pro "In The Wild" is appropriate. Please, it is not.

Seems like two quick things should be pointed out:
[LIST=1]
* If you are saying MacRumors is encouraging this based on the thumbnail, I think that is a pretty far leap since they are showing one of the most OG and famous YouTubers first and foremost...anything else you are reading into it would likely be your opinion, especially since the person watching the video in the thumbnail is doing so not "In The Wild" but rather in a room, presumably at their dwelling.
* Which is the second point, I am totally fine with anyone sharing their opinion. And while I don't plan on just "going around in public" with mine on, I choose not to live my life telling other people what is and isn't appropriate when it isn't something that is a legal or moral issue. It makes society work a lot better and you make more friends.

As someone who has complained about Juno and junked the app for being awful, this update is quite welcome. Here are the problems addressed:

1) Worst problem was inability to select the video progress slider. More than 80% of the time when trying to scroll the video, it would close the app instead since the eye tracking would go to the close box right below it. FIXED. It's possible to scroll again.
2) Video would get inadvertent finger taps and scroll the video to unpredictable places, which would require going through problem #1. FIXED. Inadvertent taps now just bring up controls, which disappear quickly
3) If the video finished, there would be no way to return to the previous screen. Only option available was to replay the video or click on the YouTube icon to go to home page. FIXED. Options now have a close button as well as replay
4) Going to home page seems to log me out more often than not, presenting me with the Sign In button on the top right and all sorts of videos I have no interest in. I'd be forced to sign in repeatedly, though it remembers credentials and would immediately sign me back in just by tapping the Sign In button. FIXED. I haven't seen it sign me out yet. Fingers crossed.

Bottom line is that this version fixed the major problems of this app that caused me to download other YouTube apps because this one sucked so badly. The other apps I downloaded which had their own problems were: HoloStream, Portal for YouTube, and VisionTube. it's now a usable app that works better than the other three I tried. It is now my YouTube player of choice because the web version is terrible, with the major deal breaker that the controls never went away on the web.

The only thing I wished any of the YouTube apps would have is to allow selection from a list of subscribed channels. Right now, going to the Subscriptions section only shows all videos in all subscriptions in reverse chronological order with no way to sort by channel. None of the YouTube apps have this, unfortunately, so I'm still waiting for the optimal YouTube app. Waiting on you, Google.

I can only assume that MacRumours thinks that wearing the Vision Pro "In The Wild" is appropriate. Please, it is not.

People can do what they want with their stuff as long as they are not breaking any laws.

Surprised Google isn’t blocking this

Afaik, it is using Google's API properly. It still serves ads, it still tracks you, it still makes Google money.

Does it block ads?

This is an excellent app have been using it on vision pro since launch. Initially tried viewing YouTube through browser which isn't bad but this app makes the experience much more enjoyable. So far the only app I have purchased specifically for the device.
