How about fixing the Podcast App on iOS so we could actually listen to podcasts???
IOS Podcast app updated today as well.
Odd, it’s not showing up on my iPhone as an update but on my Mac in iTunes it does show as a new version.
Genuinely curious: what problems do you have with the Podcast app? It’s worked brilliantly for me since they got rid of the original “tape deck” version.
My only gripe is that the iCloud syncing with iTunes is less-than-perfect. The syncing of unlistened and in-progress podcasts works fine (and that’s the most important part), but when I open iTunes it will inevitably download podcasts I’ve already listened to and fill my library with download links for other old stuff. I have to clean this up, or else the same links end up on my iPhone.
But that doesn’t impact my listening. It’s just an annoyance for a computer neat freak like me.

Any less bloat?
THANK YOU Apple for FINALLY restoring USB syncing.
Oh, do THATS why my Mac started downloading four years worth of podcasts today, a process I could only stop by shutting down the program. Grrrrr.
How about fixing the iTunes app so you can create a playlist from a playlist.
Ah, the iTunes and iTunes Match, the bottom level of Apple software. I’m putting all my hope to Dr. Dre guys to fix it, otherwise just kill the app and let the streaming services take over.
How bout making iTunes reduce down to the dock when you double click on it’s window like it did for 9 years.
After update, I Can’t manage any content on my iPhone (IP4). I usually manage my podcasts and music manually (have tons of music). Now, don’t show icon from iPhone and playlists or any content on the phone. I can’t add or erase musics, create or delete playlists and so on. Frankly, i dislike a lot this update.
