Showyou app review: your Social TV and Video Player for YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter and more

Introduction

For better or for worse, viral videos have infiltrated our world. Any cute cat, stupid stunt devil, or tongue-tied news reporter knows all it takes is being caught on film once before the whole world is talking about you. But Internet videos are not all Tosh.O-worthy. In fact, some of the most inspirational and touching pieces of media to be released in the last several years have been in the form of short Internet videos.

The interface is clean, sharp and easy to use. Though streams are easily customized, the app does continually push 'Popular' and 'Staff Picks' videos through every user's newsfeed without providing the option to unsubscribe to those channels. Sharing videos can be done with the touch of a single button, exporting them out to Twitter, Facebook or email. However, viewers on any other social media site will be unable to view Showyou videos without signing in with the free app itself.
