podcast app opens then closes

thanks for the suggestion, sadly didn't work for me.

Happening to me too, tried deleting and reinstalling several times, opens and crashes immediately.

You can also shut off syncing in Podcast settings to avoid the crash. This will allow you to use cell data and Wi-Fi as normal until back-end issue is resolved.

Same here! Just started a few minutes ago. Starts up, starts to update my podcasts, then crashes. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not work.

I am having the same problem. It keeps crashing.

I am having the same problem as of the last hour. Airplane mode "works".

Something is obviously wrong.

There better be a fix soon.

Just had my wife check hers and she is having the same problem. Obviously it is a problem on Apple's end. Something in the synching from the servers is causing the app to crash.

Same issue here on an iPhone 5s. Airplane mode works, uninstalling -> rebooting -> reinstalling doesn't fix the issue. Also happening on my brother's iPad mini retina. The issue started about 10 minutes ago for me, and less than 3 minutes ago for my brother.

In case apple is monitoring this forum. I'm having the same problem.

It did work for me 🙂

I'm having the same problem. I powered down, open and closed it, reinstalled it. I hope apple fixes this bug soon hint, hint

I am having the same issue that everyone has outlined. The app has worked perfectly fine for me up until around 2:30 PM central today and now crashes every time I open it. I have tried closing and reopening the app and reinstalling it, and the problem persists. Putting the phone in airplane mode did work for me as well though. Something is obviously going on.

Nope. Now it's Screwing up again.

But I have noticed that If i turn off web connection, Wi-Fi and Cellular Data, before I open the app it is stable enough to listen.

Even after I turn the Wi-Fi back on while it is playing.

How so how do I report this to Apple?

Re: Grza

After going into Airplane Mode, turn Bluetooth back on.

For future ref, same works for Wifi if for whatever reason you just wanted to turn off cell and keep Wifi.
