Onecast is quickly developing into the 'little podcatcher that could' - it's small, idiosyncratic and what you see is very much what you get in the UI. No settings hierarchy, no complications, etc. On the flip side, there's also currently no background auto-downloading of new shows (i.e. you have to tap to play/download), though the developer's still working on this side of things. There's also no easy way to clean up old shows which were never finished - I've requested this feature and will report back.
A couple of shots of this version in action:
The shows listings have a new cassette icon indicating a stored download, plus the new 'Pending downloads' view, complete with 'swipe to cancel' function...
You can grab this in the Store here, it's a free download (with in-app-purchases to donate to help development if you want to).
