Apple has updated its Podcasts app to version 1.2 which brings some new features, such as the ability to create custom stations that automatically update with new episodes, stored in iCloud so they can be synced across your devices. Playlists in iTunes now also sync into the app. There is also a slight tweak in the design of the app, with controls resembling what you’d see in the iPod app.
The full change log is below:
