IOS podcast app without fixed episode limits

The iTunes Store app uses a web view, so Apple can update the how the app looks remotely without touching your phone.

Since all podcasts are free, there's no need for it to look the same as the music purchases. Tapping the podcast title should still work to play it.

The Podcasts app was updated for iOS 7 on October 22. I don’t think that this was a feature of iOS 6’s Podcast app, but if you are able to update to the latest version, there is an Edit button that can delete/mark-as-read multiple episodes or multiple subscriptions. (Assuming you’re not running an older device that isn’t compatible).

There isn’t a way to so multiple selects before a swipe to delete, though most apps have an “Edit” button to select multiple items before hitting the Delete button (as seen in Mail). In third-party apps, the interface depends on what the designer/developer built.
