Another for the list - the new Podcasts app is terrible
Edit: it's as if they tried to make the interface less efficient than before - it makes it much more difficult to find subscribed to podcasts you haven't listened to in a while
- BadassFractal 9y agoThe UX for it is pretty puzzling. I'll give it a couple of months to get used to it, but so far it's non-trivially confusing.
- arprocter 9y agoI'm on a phone - maybe the 'double the size of everything' changes work better on an iPad?
- blakesterz 9y agoFunny, I thought the same thing, but I thought "Gotta just be me, maybe I forgot how it used to work" it's like everything I used to do is gone and/or buried. The default behaviors are all totally opposite of what I want.
- danieldk 9y agoUnfortunately it has the same download bugs. Often when you press the download button, a podcast is marked again as not downloaded after downloading has completed. Overcast, on the other hand, works fine.
- arprocter 9y agoI've seen something similar - a few podcasts begin to download at once, progress indicators don't move above 0% on any of them, but then you hit play and it's already downloaded
- planetjones 9y agoI ditched that disgraceful application for downcast after it used my whole data allowance by not respecting a download on WiFi only setting. This was a previous iOS release, but once bitten twice as shy. I will never take another look at podcasts because it already cost me real money.
- davelnewton 9y agoAnecdotal, but that's never happened to me w/ PocketCasts in any release on any iOS or Android.
- archildress 9y agoYou've gotta go Pocket Casts. I took the leap and never looked back. It's miles better.
- gilrain 9y agoThe web client which keeps in sync with the phone clients is so nice. I get home, put the phone in my pocket, and start the podcast I was listening to at exactly the same place it was when I got out of the car. And vice versa, of course. For a one-time fee service, it's pretty amazing!
- archildress 9y agoTotally agree and that one-time fee thing is a lost art!
- scarface74 9y agoThe podcast app has always been terrible.
