Apple today released a podcast app that allows you a simpler way to find, subscribe, and listen to podcasts natively on your iOS device.
Unfortunately, the podcast app shoots you straight into the Podcast section of the iTunes store as soon as you try to download anything – instead of letting you download natively inside the app.
However, if you already subscribe to a bunch of podcasts, then the app will supply you with a much, much better catalog option.
Top Stations is a new feature that allows for an easy way to discover new stations, and you can loop back ten seconds, loop forward thirty seconds, or even set a Sleep Timer – which will automatically stop playing a podcast after a while (in case you love to fall asleep to Tech Fetish).
Perhaps best of all is a speed adjustment that lets you fly through podcasts at much faster or slower speeds, turning your favorite IGN podcasters into chipmunks or monsters, depending on your mood.
The app is free and has been optimized for iPhone 3GS and newer, as well as iPod touches (3rd generation or newer), and iPads (sporting iOS 5.1 or later).
If you have even a passing interest in podcasts, head to iTunes to download this app. And while you’re at it, make sure to take a look at all of IGN’s awesome podcasts, right here on IGN.
