We have gotten a few people who have e-mailed us using the “Contact” link in our apps to ask when we will be officially supporting the recent change from star-based ratings to thumbs-up, thumbs-down ratings on YouTube.
The short answer is that while YouTube.com supports this functionality, the official developer programming interface that we use to interact with YouTube does not yet support this new rating system. We hope to have an update very soon that will support the new rating system – keep checking this blog for more information. We will also update our twitter account when it becomes available. In the meantime, our apps will continue to support the star rating system.
Again, we thank each of you for taking the time to share your comments and feature suggestions – we can only continue to make our apps better by collecting feedback from you, our valued users.
