Podcast App Crashing

There appears to be an issue with the app trying to sync using cellular data. If you put the device in airplane mode, the app will not crash. This started about an hour ago and hopefully they will undo/fix whatever they did on the backend. The app itself does not appear to be the issue.

Same in NY.

I am having same issue and have done the same thing. I am in NYC...

I am having the same problem and as stated before. This started happening like an hour ago! I'm sure this is a problem on Apple's side. The app crashes if I'm on 3G or if I'm connected to a Wi-Fi spot but seems to be happening when the app tries to sync up.

I agree with mhkrause. I suddenly got this problem. Reinstalling software does not work. Aeroplane mode does for both my ipad and iphone.

I agree this looks like an Apple backend problem

Probably something to do with icloud syncing that podcast app uses to keep progress on podcast listening between devices

Hope they realise and fix it soon

same here too, really frustrating....! 😠

iphone will work if I put in airplane mode but not anything else

Crashes within seconds; I also removed and reinstalled (twice) and didn't make a blind bit of difference. Tried deleting some apps in case it was a memory problem!

Fingers crossed this is sorted soon!

Same issue, Oregon.

Same negative thoughts about iphone. If this were the first time it had happened, I wouldn't be as annoyed, but the new products/OS/apps are buggy as **** compared to when I first bought an Iphone 3GS. I wish I could go back to my old iphone, but the software and apps have largely been "upgraded" past it.

Podcasts seem to work as long as both cell and wifi are off, which means that you can't download new episodes unless you sync on the computer and you can't have the phone on while you listen to a podcast. What's the point of having everything on one device, again...?

Same here 😟

Same here. I live in Maryland. Started happening 15 min ago. Works fine in airplane mode. crashes within 1 sec in regular mode.

Got the same thing happening to me and I'm from the UK

Worldwide problem with all iDevices: iPads, iPad minis, iPhones, iPod touches.

Fix:

put in airplane mode

open app

count to 10

turn off airplane mode whilst in app by swiping up ...

Same here in the United Kingdom.

Put iPhone in Airplane mode and app does not crash. Take it out and it crashes after a second or two of checking for new podcasts on app start-up.

I have tried removing app, reconfig reboot of iPhone, removed all data showing in iTunes/Music, reconfig reboot and then an app re-install.

App still crashes.

No idea why this should start crashing but there is a lot of app crash log files that have been sent to Apple from my phone so I hope they are on the ball.

This is a worry as I have over 78 feeds I subscribe to and really would;t be able to live without my daily podcasts.

First real issues have had in 18 months with Apple but not a good experience in the last 2 hours.

This is happening to me in NYC as well. I don't know what to do. I can't live without this app.

Same thing is happening to me, I've tried everything. Restore, restoring my settings, turning off and on, deleting the app and downloading it again, and syncing the phone and so far the only thing that has worked is putting my phone on airplane mode, which isn't too convenient.

samsumg isnt the answer. the fix posted above worked for me.
