YouPorn knows you want to watch porn on your mobile device. Its site has been long optimized for video viewing while on the go, as have most websites that want to stay relevant in a mobile heavy society. We spend a great deal of our lives staring into our mobile devices, our souls slowly being devoured by the blue-light demons. To optimize this process and deliver the porn content you crave like a Mogwai craves a snack after midnight, YouPorn is launching its own standalone app *ahem* experience.
From a theoretical point of view, everything you do is an experience. Reading this is an experience. Standing in a queue for a food truck that serves slices of potatoes on a stick is an experience. Washing your car then watching it rain two hours later is an experience. Watching porn is certainly an experience, as is watching it through a mobile app that stands outside the purview (or pure view, depending on where you stand when it comes to censorship) of Apple or Google app stores.

So what does this YouPorn mobile app deliver that the web version optimized for mobile doesn't? It still has the same porn content you are used to viewing in your car during your 15 minute break, but it also has a few security and speed factors that aren't available through the browser. It keeps your activity out of the browser history (because it's not a browser) and it delivers content much faster than through a browser.
As a standalone app, it is much more secure than a side-loaded .apk file and since it's not offered through app stores, doesn't misuse enterprise certificates by misrepresenting what the app is. As Apple and Google don't generally allow adult apps, offering the app as a direct install is really the only delivery method.
"Our users on all mobile platforms have for years been asking for the features, responsiveness, and privacy an app provides," said Charlie Hughes, Vice President of YouPorn in a press release. "YouPorn's new App Experience shows our commitment to securing and enhancing the experiences of our mobile customer base. Not only will users gain quicker and more convenient access, but most importantly are given an even more secure and private way to explore content using open technologies without needing platform specific app marketplaces or cumbersome side-loading certificates which could make one's devices less secure."
But really, YouPorn didn't have much of a choice in how to deliver this app. While it's refreshing to hear the commitment to your security and privacy, it's not like YouPorn could have launched the app through an app store anyway. However, its existence shows that porn sites are working harder to deliver you the best porn viewing experience possible. This means a clean, smooth, fast application that requires less clean-up than anything browser based and content that you are damn well clamoring for, whether you'd admit it or not.
The new YouPorn app experience also works in the content filtering tools of the main website so you can find exactly what you are looking for without having to consume any content that doesn't spike your adrenaline. It also includes the AI-enabled "For You Weekly" feature that creates custom-tailored playlists. The app also updates itself, as it should, so you are never trying to consume outdated content and you get the freshest security patches this side of roadside peaches.
The YouPorn app experience launches today for iOS and Android operating systems and can be downloaded directly from this safe-for-work landing page. Enjoy your experience, because that's what life is; a series of never-ending, connected experiences that are sometimes porn.
