New Podcast App

Not sure if I'm a fan of separate apps on my phone (like videos), but the added functionality is welcomed.
Apple releases dedicated Podcasts app for iPhone and iPad | The Verge

iTunes link:
Podcasts for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store

Thanks for the heads up. I like this approach for some reason.

Considering iOS 6 Showed No Support For Podcasts In The iTunes Music Store, This Needed To Happen. I'm Happy That They Did & They Seemed To Have Done A Good Job With The UI.

I have a complaint already. No progress/scrub bar while listening to a podcast. No time elapsed/time remaining.
Only FF/RW, jump Ahead 30 sec or Back 10 sec.
Might as well put my podcasts on cassette tape.

Actually, looking at the controls- it looks like a cassette deck!
Give me an 8-Track, at least that gets me 4 F/RW options.

Tap the cover art to get the scrubber and elapsed time/remaining time

THANKS! how did you know that? I looked at the Apple page, the app page, the app...
How 'bout that- not a cassette, not an 8-Track.. it's a reel to reel.

You need to do the same thing to get to the scrubber in the Music app.

Love this app, but I can't delete some podcasts. I delete them but they just pop up again as available to download...

Is it me or is there a little lag time when pressing the play button on this app?
The spinning icon spins for a little time at the top of the screen before it plays.
Anyone else find the same thing?

I love this. Podcasts were getting to become a pain in the Music app.
