Instacast – the superb podcasting app for the iPhone – has had a recent update, to Version 1.3. This is a big update with a large number of new features and improvements added.
This app is already packed with good features within a very nice UI. Some of its notable current features include the ability to manage all your subscriptions, its ability to handle audio and video podcasts, background downloads, the ability to follow show notes, and retina display support.
Here are the new features announced for the latest update:
* Dropped support for iOS 3
* Added Download Waiting List
* Added resuming downloads after connection loss
* Added putting downloads on waiting list when switching from WiFi to 3G and 3G not enabled
* Added chapter lists if available
* Improved scrubbing and seeking
* Added cloud based image scaling service
* Added continuous playback
* Optimized some user interface elements
* Added Video AirPlay support to enhanced podcast player
* Removed option for System Player
* Added new sort options to episode lists

* Made Auto-Cache optional for audio and video separately
* Added Auto-Clear option when a new episode is loaded (now default)
The update also contains quite a few bug fixes.
Instacast is the best podcasts app I’ve seen, even before this latest update – and as always, it’s great to see an already stellar app continuing to update and improve.
Here’s an App Store link for Instacast; it’s priced at $1.99.
