The app launches and loads in a heartbeat, opening on a screenful of trending most viewed videos. Also along the bottom are buttons for different genres of videos: music, comedy, trailers, and tech news. As you'd expect with a video discovery tool, Play+ also features a search tool, and the app launches with focus on the search field. There are also locations to view your favorite videos and a history of what you've viewed.
Clicking on any of the video thumbnails begins play in a window that displays comments on one side and related videos below. During play, it's possible to literally scrub most videos frame by frame, making it possible to analyze video closely.
Where Play+ is so phenomenal is in full-screen mode on a 27" iMac, showing up to 50 thumbnails at a time. Most of the videos play in HTML5 rather than Flash, so there are far fewer ads and annotations are hidden by defaults.
For fans of YouTube, Play+ is an absolute must. It's fast, it makes great use of your screen real estate, and video quality is phenomenal. Be sure to get the app during the introductory $1.99 pricing for a real bargain.
