Recently I have noticed a few inconsistencies in the operation of the Podcast app and figured I'd ask here to see if anybody had any ideas. The two problems that I have are as follows:
1. Sometimes I'll download a podcast on my house's wifi so I don't have to use my data plan. I will then try to play the podcast on my iPhone during my 1.5 hour one way commute, only to find out that the podcast has mysteriously been deleted from the phone for no reason, and definitely not by my hand. I'm thinking there's a setting that I'm not seeing, but I have no idea what it is.
2. The opposite problem. Other times I will download a podcast, say the one for Monday, listen to it, then on Tuesday when the new episodes are available, download the new episodes, and sync the phone via my computer. I have it set up so it will only sync the podcasts that are unplayed, but after a sync, most of the times it won't delete the previous day's podcasts, even after multiple syncs. I'm left to just delete them from the phone. It'd be nice to have it work as expected, sync all the podcasts to the computer, and only the unplayed ones to the phone.
Any ideas on either issue? I love podcasts and they help my ungodly commute (3 hours total daily) to feel a little less like the soul-draining time that it really is.
