HI, Downcast on the Mac works really well for me. I really liked podcasts in iTunes, but the surprising syncing problems between my Mac and iPhone with Apple's native apps made me try Downcast. Syncing between Downcast on my Mac and iPHone works surprisingly well. I won't say there's absolutely no problems, because I'm sure I could be proved wrong. But I can often start playing an episode on my iPHone and then switch to playing that same episode on my Mac and it will start playing on the Mac exactly where I paused on the iPhone. It's incredibly seamless. marking as played seems to work just as well. I'm not sure what happens when you delete an episode from one device, but that seems to work somehow as I don't get episodes deleted from one device showing up on another. In iCloud Sync Settings in Downcast on Mac and iOS you can choose to sync any or all of feeds, episodes, playlists and settings. Apart from the syncing, the other thing I love about Downcast is the playlists. These work really well and sync perfectly across devices. I believe iTunes now has this or is soon to have this feature, but Downcast had it first and it works brilliantly. Having said all that, of course everyone's opinions are different and what works for one person might not work for another. I know there's at least one guy (on this list) who isn't very impressed with Downcast on the Mac. Then again he never seems very impressed with anything, except perhaps NewsRack once it became obsolete. ;) Cheers, Nic
