Podcasts iOS App to Receive Bug Fix Update Later Today [Update: It's Out]
After Apple's Podcasts app was released last month, many users had complaints about bugs, crashes and other issues. All Things D says that an update should debut later today that will fix the problems and "vastly improve it":Podcasts users take note: Apple has been hard at work tweaking the app to fix the problems that currently plague it and sources say the company expects to post an update to it this afternoon that should vastly improve it.Nearly two-thirds of reviews for the Podcasts app on the App Store gave it a one - or two-star review, with the app having a two-and-a-half-star review overall -- one of the lowest of all Apple's apps.
Podcasts had traditionally been housed in the iTunes app on iOS devices, but Apple has been working to streamline the user experience by breaking out some categories into their own apps, including Podcasts and iTunes U.
Update: As noted by Jim Dalrymple, Apple has released an update to the Podcasts app with these changes:
Podcasts 1.0.1 provides a number of improvements, including:Podcasts is a free download for the iPhone and iPad on the App Store. [Direct Link]

• Resolution of an issue where Top Stations artwork may not appear

Easily my least favorite app from Apple. Terribly slow, unresponsive, and downright odd design.
I still can't believe this app was made by Apple.

Hallelujah!
If this App had come from any other developer it would have been killed by 1 star reviews. It the buggiest piece of #$%^ I have used on my iOS devices in a long time. Hope the new version fixes the dozen or so issues I have with the app.

Maybe this time the UI will look like a record player instead of reel to reel tapes. Or maybe the new design will be a music box!

More quality issues from Apple. This would not have happened on Steve's watch. Let's hope its not a terminal decline.

I know, now I'm lost.
It really was stupid to remove the down vote though. We can only like posts, but not dislike them? Like kindergarten.

Props to Apple for knowing they released buggy software and resolving the issues quickly.

It's annoying when someone tries to design something halfway interesting, only to have people **** all over it, because it's not designed to YOUR specifications. Get over yourself.
My primary specifications include:
1) Not locking up
2) Not restarting randomly
Regardless of how interesting the Podcast app may be I don't think those are lofty goals, and not being able to attain them is a perfectly good reason to **** all over it.

Its rather shocking this was released in the state it was. There seemed no reason to launch when it did, I seem to recall most people were speculating/expecting it to arrive with iOS 6.

I really wanted this to be an app I'd love.
1. Getting annoyed by all the extra taps Apple's apps have been requiring lately to do basic stuff that should only require one or two taps. These UI's are getting needlessly busy, inefficient, and inelegant. of which this app is a great example.
2. I tried Stitcher. Get it together, Apple.
