Apple Releases a Podcasts App

Pod­casts app is the eas­i­est way to dis­cover, sub­scribe to and play your favorite pod­casts on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Explore hun­dreds of thou­sands of free audio and video pod­casts from the Pod­casts Cat­a­log, and play the most pop­u­lar pod­casts, orga­nized for you by topic, with the all-​​new Top Sta­tions feature.

Podcasts app for iOS 5

Looks inter­est­ing. Not a huge sur­prise as appar­ently pod­casts were removed from the Music app in iOS 6.

Though accord­ing to this tweet, RSS sup­port is non-​​existent which means it’s only good for pod­casts listed in the iTunes Pod­cast direc­tory. Shouldn’t be a prob­lem since all a pod­cast has to do is sub­mit their RSS feed to Apple for inclu­sion — but some pod­casts may not be in there for a vari­ety of reasons.

Down­load it for free from the App Store
