Apple ’s Podcasts app has long been a outrageous exemplar of Scott Forstall ’s most larger-than-life crime as a software room decorator : Skeuomorphism . Why do I need a graphic of a swag - to - bobbin tape automobile in my app ? HOW CLEVER ! Get it ? Yes , radio used to be immortalize and blue-pencil on reel of magnetic tape , but that design reference does n’t do anything just for consumers . Applehas update the app , and the catastrophe in the image above has been turn to .
Amongst the paltry upgrades to the Apple Podcasts app is the following splendid melioration :
The Now Playing scene has been redesign with easier to habituate playback controls
Part of that user interface modification is that you may no longer enter the reel - to - reel “ now play ” view that was there before . That weird old thyme reference never did any trade good . It just made the app harder to employ .
It ’s so much better when everything ’s in its right place . This is a smart digital interface . You do n’t involve or benefit from the option to watch bastard reels :
alas , the app ’s catastrophic performance did n’t finish at this single contingent . Apple has also upgraded the app with a few other improvements like the ability to make usance Stations of the Cross and on - the - go play list . We do n’t think that ’s gon na be enough to change the app ’s pathetic two - star rating aright aside , but hey , it ’s a step in the right direction . [ iTunes ]
