Love TWiT Netcasts! – TWiT Review

Edit 7/17/17: Having read reviewers stating that the update has broken control of Play and Pause via the iOS Control Panel, and that it plays the audio without stopping any other audio that was already playing,… I will not be downloading the update. Sometimes I don't need to see the TWiT video, just hear it, and I'd like to be able to switch to another silent app to work while I listen to TWiT. Control Panel is/was the only mechanism to restart the audio from the TWiT app, because for some reason it (your app) stops itself if you switch to another app while it's playing!!! Original review: While I love the content of Leo Laporte's net casts and podcasts, and having this app on my iPhone 5S makes it easier to access them then using a browser, there are some annoyances in the UI that I don't expect to find, considering the source. The app does not remember which type of night cast/podcast I looked at last (TWiT only, not any of the other shows). Similarly, it forgets the last show I was watching/listening to. This should be a durable State, so our user does not have to scroll through and select twitch from the list of shows, and then recently watched, and then tap the show I was in the middle of. Then, if I decided I wanted to start watching another TWiT show, that I had downloaded, it would be only one step to back out of the last show I was watching, to peruse my list of downloaded shows.
