Podcast app not working on ios7

its not working for me either .. just upgaded over the ait last night and podcast is just crashing a bunch

to be clear it crashes a few seconds after launch. Im having the same issue with the music app.

I have deleted and reinstalled podcasts

Yes - Podcasts app totally frozen or black screen for me too. Surprised that an Apple designed app would be incompatible with iOS7

Same problem, the app freezes. Sometimes the podcast display comes up and sometimes just a black screen. Everything else works fine under teh new iOS. I too am surprised taht an apple application doesn't work -- pretty surprised.

At least I know it's not just me.

The app worked for me at first but since I synched my iPhone 5 with my desktop it has stopped and just get "Error. Playback failed" for every podcast. Any ideas...

It is working fine for me now, it seems to have fixed itself later in the day. Perhaps something got updated or something, don't know.

Thanks.

Yeah, this seems like a pretty egregious oversight. Hope they get it fixed soon.

I deleted the app from my iPhone and reinstalled with a sync. This seemed to temporarily fix it but I've had to do this more than once. Quite the pain.

Same thing to me. I can not download the last update from a podcast, the app says "preparing to start downloand" and nothing happens.
