The official Podcasts app that is no longer optional as of iOS 6 has ruined my life, as listening to podcasts is probably the thing I do most often on my iPhone. Its couple benefits (namely, view by album artwork and automatic downloading) are more than offset by its insufferable downsides. It fails to sync properly with iTunes (leaving behind empty podcasts or episodes I've seen already), often forgets the playback position so I have to laboriously find it manually, and jumbling the file order of custom podcasts into an incomprehensible mess, rendering what was once a simple process that I never had to think much about (except periodically manually syncing) into an unmanageable nightmare.

Spring forth, mighty Neowin, and save me!
