Apple has refreshed a couple of its core apps to get them onboard the iOS 7 bandwagon.
Released on Tuesday, Podcasts version 2 has a new paint job and fonts that take on the simple style found in iOS 7. The app has also rejiggered some features. The Podcasts Store can now be found in the Featured tab. Search now has its own tab to allow you to find your favorite podcasts.
The Top Charts window now displays a simple list of podcasts separated by audio and video. You now can organize and view your stations either by episode or by overall podcast.
The app will automatically download new episodes even when it's not open, and you can control how frequently it checks for those episodes. Finally, you can tap into iCloud to keep your podcasts in sync across iTunes and Apple TV.
Also released on Tuesday, Find My iPhone version 3 doesn't offer any new features but has been stylized to catch up with the look of iOS 7. Find My iPhone allows you to locate a missing iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac using another Apple device.
