Been using the app a while now. Tested on iPhone 4 and the new iPad.

Overall I'd only give this app 2-3 stars. The app itself looks amazing. I love the whole design. Especially the reel-to-reel player and sleep timer. However I find the app extremely buggy. Very unresponsive. And takes a long time to load thumbnails. All of the previous apps that Apple have released have worked flawlessly for me. Without one single problem. Think they shoulda tested this one for a longer amount of time and made it perfect. Like their others. Still I'm sure they'll improve the performance in a future update. And make it perfect like they always do

I've noticed the responsiveness issues as well. I also think the subscribed list should only show new and downloaded postcasts instead of showing all of them.

Everyone should make sure they leave reviews with their criticisms on the App Store. That should get them fixed sooner.

Had a play around with this last night. As a big podcaster, I'm not a fan tbh.

One big element that is lacking for me (or I just couldn't see) was that you can't make a playlist. I'll download my podcasts, put them in a playlist then listen to them one after the other in the order that I like. I also couldn't find a way that I could download new podcasts from the subscriptions in iTunes, which makes it kind of redundant when you already have the iPod and iTunes apps to accommodate this.

I'll keep it here in case they update it later to fill my needs, but I won't be switching for now.
