NOWBOX: THE WAY to Personalize Your Youtube Experience

If Flipboard is THE WAY to personalize your news reading, then NOWBOX is definitely THE BEST WAY to personalize your youtube experience. At the initial lunch, NOWBOX lets you select your topic of interest, which you can make multiple selection. After that, it will again offer you the options of connecting your NOWBOX with your facebook, Youtube, and Twitter accounts. By connecting your NOWBOX app to these accounts, it will try to detect potential topics and themes that might interest you. Once you've done both steps, you can officially start watching. It automatically sorts out the topics you selected with video channels related. If you want to search for something else, you can tap on the Channel Management button that resembles an old school TV set. Then, just tap on the magnifying glass search button and start typing keywords or the name of channel. When you get a videos you like, you can always add them into your personal playlist. Besides that, there is also feature which allows you to post a message to either facebook or Twitter, telling your friends about the name of video that you are currently watching.

Overall, this app comes with really cool features, and there's so far no playback issues detected. Yet, the only drawback is where the app doesn't wait for the video to load for some time before it starts playing, instead, the playback starts immediately before it manage to load, hence, the playback is not smooth, and I'm forced to pause and wait for it to load. Other than that, everything else is brilliant.

Note: This app is available for iPad only.
