- ironmagma 5y agoDoesn’t work? The old Apple podcasts app worked just fine. It’s the modern one that breaks and has UI jumping all the time.
- DanHulton 5y agoYou can't judge the success or failure of ANYTHING by the podcasts app (except the podcasts app itself, of course). Remember old QuickTime with wonky drawers and knobs everywhere? Everyone hated it, and rightly so, and switched to alternatives in every case where they could.
- fiddlerwoaroof 5y agoI really like the three “wheel” picker on iOS (used for dates, at least): for coarse changes, I “flick” the wheel a couple times and let “inertia” do its work, then I fine tune it when I’m close.
- i_like_apis 5y agoSure but I still think shadows and 3 dimensions work.
- tinus_hn 5y agoIt can work just fine, just like it can be applied inappropriately.
