  • Never ever touch the lock screen!!!

    By Jason of the JSA
    Don’t you dare touch the lock screen, or your podcast will move forwards, or backwards, and you’ll have no control over that at all. Please please please Apple add some kind of lock functionality so I won’t accidentally skip around on my podcasts! Other apps do that!
  • Bad update!

    I’ve exclusively used this app to listen to podcasts since app put it on an iPhone. This is the worst update. Like many other people have mentioned, when the app backgrounds or I turn off my screen it automatically reverts to the Home Screen of the app when I reopen it. It used to stay on whatever screen I had it on last, aka. My “Latest episodes” or “downloaded” list. I don’t like having to tap back to where I was five seconds after my screen goes dark. I’ve also noticed that it’s automatically deleted downloaded episodes that I have not listened to yet. I realize that I am six or more months behind on listening to some of my favorite shows. That’s because I have a lot of favorite shows. I downloaded that episode from January because I wanted to listen to it Apple. It was not a fluke. DO NOT DELETE my downloaded episodes. I am also no longer able to listen to one of my favorite shows because apparently it no longer exists in Apple Podcasts. I realize shows come and go but according to the shows website they’re still pushing episodes to Apple. Because of these issues and knowing Apple will probably not reverse these changes, because Apple obviously knows better than its users what its users want, I’m going to start looking for a new podcast app that has all my favorite shows and doesn’t mess with its users’ settings.

    They really messed this app up after adding video, app performance is awful now and very buggy bc the app has issues trying to keep up with video downloading and buffering even though I don’t want to watch my podcasts…
  • Great! But…

    Functionality needs to catch up with Spotify. We should be able to clear the queue without swiping through every single automatically-added episode.
  • Frequent Download Bugs

    Every few days the app just refuses to download podcasts. They will begin the process but then can’t get past about 15%. Extremely irritating.
  • Podcast Cellular Issue

    By JQMBP3_MA
    Upgrading from iOS 18.7.9 to iOS 26.5, Podcasts will not play next episode over Cellular when a Podcast ends. Wi-Fi does not have a problem. All settings on iPhone are correct. All Apps were updated prior to and after iOS update. I have reset iPhone 13 Pro Max multiple times. Hoping for a fix.

  • Tim Cook & John Ternus need to fix this.

    By E guy
    Dear Tim Cook & John Ternus , Why does Apple Podcast decide to OPEN itself automatically and start playing every time I hop in my Subaru? If I don’t have the app open or on, can’t it just stay off? Such a simple request, please help.
  • Slow

    Takes several minutes to load anything since the update. Switching apps for now, as this one has become too inconvenient to bother with
