How to add a podcast to Apple's Podcasts app as a feed:// link?

If I have a podcast link as feed://url how do I add it to the podcast app?

PS. If I click it in Safari, it automatically opens up the Downcast app.

Hi Den B.,

Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

You can subscribe to a podcast by entering the feed url into the search field of the My Podcasts screen.

You can find more information about the Podcasts app at this link:

iOS: About the Podcasts app for iOS

You can subscribe to authenticated podcasts by typing the podcast's URL in the search field from My Podcasts.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Oh, wow. It worked. Thanks. That search field is so small that it didn't even cross my mind to try that. Plus the label "My podcasts" is kind of misleading if I can search for podcasts on the WWW.
