That’s a good thing, as you really don’t need a 9.7-inch playback screen, 9.7-inch playlist editor or 9.7-inch…anything. Everything is right there at your fingertips without ever leaving the main screen. Read on for the review.ĭowncast is one of those apps that kick the legs out from under anyone who still claims the iPad is a giant iPod touch. Downcast is a podcatcher app, meaning it’s an app designed to provide you with the full podcast experience, from subscribing and keeping track of releases and downloads to playback or both video and audio. Luckily, third party developers step in where Apple falls flat on its ass.
You can go to the on-device iTunes and download single episodes as well as sync them from iTunes on a computer, but there’s no support for subscriptions – which is how you’d normally get episodes, and how you do it on iTunes proper. On iOS the podcast feature is quite horrible though. iTunes has been one of the best podcast downloaders for years, and I should know as I’ve tried pretty much all of them over the years in the search for a non-Apple alternative. Podcasts are audio and video programs that are much like radio and TV shows, just available online and normally for free. Finally independence from iTunes! That hasn’t been the case though, due to country restrictions on some crucial features and missed release deadlines on others. Perhaps the biggest missing piece in the PC less part of iOS 5 hasn’t been addressed by Apple at all though: podcasts.
#DOWNCAST IOS MOVIE#
Just as the fifth Star Trek movie was called The Final Frontier, iOS 5 was supposed to be the final frontier for Apple’s mobile devices.
