Apple Podcast gone.

2012-09-23 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
Well, I got rid of the podcast thing from Apple as I don't like that you can't 
delete with ease.  The other thing about Downcast is that you can download 
podcasts without connecting to Itunes.

Kawal,

The new podcast app from Apple allows downloading either over WiFi or 3G, and 
can be done manually or automatically as podcasts episodes become available.

RE: Apple Podcast gone.

2012-09-23 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hello Kawal,

I agree the the Apple Podcast app still needs some work, but it is slowly
getting better and you can download Podcasts very easily with this app. I
just searched for the Today in iOS podcast and subscribed to it. After that
all episodes are listed, in fact, they are listed already when you find the
Podcast even without subscribing. Anyhow, if you flick right there is a
download button after each episode, double tap it and it will download and
correctly announce both the amount of data that has downloaded as well as
the total size of the download and the download button itself indicates the
download percentage. After the episode has downloaded there is a More Info
button which has the show notes and you can mark the episode as played in
there, you can change the settings for the entire Podcast if you double tap
on the Podcast name or the More Info button next to the name. You can turn
subscription off for the Podcast here, a feature which I think actually does
not exist in Downcast, you can set your auto download options, e.g. keep all
unplayed, keep the 2 most recent etc. You can also indicate the sort order,
newest first or oldest first and the play order, oldest to newest or newest
to oldest. Also you can mark all as played or all as unplayed.

I was hoping that you can delete Podcasts with the new single finger flick
down gesture and then double tap to confirm, i.e. that the Action rotor
option works, but they have not yet added this although I would dare to say
that I can't see this being far away. For the time being you can delete in
the old way, do a double tap and hold (pass through gesture), then swipe
left to right across the Podcast you want to delete and a Confirm Deletion
button pops up. This is like you would delete music before the new Action
rotor setting was added.

In short, it's not so bad any more and I could see that this app after
another 2 or 3 updates will definitely be interesting especially if SIRI
integration is improved which still seems to be a bit sporatic.


Regards,
Sieghard

I especially like how easy it is to stream with Apple's podcast app, but still 
wish there was a way to tell it not to automatically go to the next episode.

Well, I'll try it then and if I like it, take the other one off after all 
what's the point having two podcast apps?

The latest Podcast client from Apple has just this feature, just after the 
playback speed there is a sleep timer option.

Within the options you'll find various time related options, the last one of 
these is, at the end of this episode.
