After trying all the major podcast clients for iOS (and Android), I've decided that Instacast gets my vote for the best app. Today it was updated, which fixed some of my remaining issues with the app so I can happily recommend it. It still isn't perfect, but it is superior than other apps in this category (Downcast was a reasonable second place). I have no idea why a podcast client seems to be so difficult to create; even Apple can't get it right, and they brought podcasts mainstream. I'm just hoping that Tapbots decides to make a client.
