Setting up a syncing account was painless as well, and I believe that they are using Simperium Sync, since it is similar to what Drafts uses. I did this first on my iPhone, since it is my main way of listening to podcasts, and encountered no issues. If you still have the previous versions of Instacast on your device, the app will give you the option to migrate your iCloud data into the new app, and then create a free account (only email and password) to utilize their in-house syncing option. It’s more efficient for seeing everything at once, rather than scrolling through, if you subscribe to a lot like me, an endless list. When you launch it on the iPad, you will get a grid view of all of your podcasts, which I actually found more intuitive than the previous single-column view in Instacast HD. They completely ditched the Twitter-for-iPad interface and made it conform much more to the iPhone version of the app instead. However, the difference in UI on the iPad is much more noticeable. While I’m liking (and preferring) the subtle texture differences in IC3 on the iPhone, I was actually expecting a lot more for what they were hyping. On the iPhone, there is little difference between IC3 and IC2. So after using Instacast 3 for the past several days, here’s what I think. In addition to this, they decided to ditch iCloud syncing in favor for their own in-house solution, “revamp” the user interface, and overall make the app more efficient. However, this time, Vemedio decided to do the right thing and make it a universal binary so that the $4.99 you pay for Instacast 3 can be for both your iPhone and iPad. When I heard about Instacast 3, I was pretty excited, even though it was going to be a completely new application, meaning I would have to pay for it again. But let’s face it - Downcast isn’t exactly sporting a stunning design. I simply prefer the cleaner interface, even though Downcast had many great features. While it was one of the better podcatchers out there, Instacast had quite a bit of competition, even from Apple themselves.Įven though I personally recommended Downcast in my Podcatcher App Showdown, I have to admit that I eventually went back to Instacast, personally. It originally debuted on the iPhone back in March 2011, and later releasing a separate iPad version eight months later. Instacast - The Next Gen Podcast App ($4.99) by Vemedio is the latest iteration of the popular podcasting app.
