Q: Where are the advance rewind controls for Podcasts in ios9?

If you are a serious listener of speech content in podcasts do not upgrade to ios9.  It appears the advance or rewind controls have been removed.  I checked to see if there is an option somewhere to make it show, but nothing in settings.  Unfortunately I do not have a good backup nor the will to go back.  I am looking now for other podcast apps that still have this feature.  When driving it is difficult to hold and slide left or right.  For long episodes the slightest move will advance minutes instead of seconds. It was so easy to tap left or right without even looking.  Very often I like to hear again certain passages, tapping left a couple of times was quite easy during commute. I find the decision to remove such useful feature very disappointing.  I am trying now Overcast but it is not the same.  What a shame.

    Hello every one,

     

    It's November and this issue is still lingering. I've also just experienced the same issue. I'm on IOS 9.1, but only just noticed this issue today, as it was all working ok yesterday.

     

    Podcasts are one of the reasons, apart form calling, messaging and photos, that I primarily use my device for (iphone 6s) and would like to know if there is a way to contact Apple directly for a solution, or for an official explanation.

     

    I've read through the entire post and tried everything, but to no avail. If anyone has a solution please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.

     

    Thanks!!!

    You can drag the slider, yes, but it's very imprecise - especially with longer podcasts. You may manage to go back or forward 30 seconds, but you may find that you've jumped 10 minutes, and then getting back to where you were is even harder. Additionally, the slider won't let you go back to the previous podcast, which is what some people in this thread are looking for. (There seems to be a bit of confusion in the thread between "jump 15 seconds" and "skip to next track" buttons.)

    Please help..I am running 9.3.5 on my iPad mini.

     

    I am new to podcasts and I find the ones I want via the Podcast App and search window.

     

    I listen to the podcast as I am going to sleep, sometimes miss some important stuff and want to go back maybe 4 minutes or so.

     

    I have read all of the above replies..there is no icon at the lecture I am listening to, which is one of a series, there is only a speaker button.

     

    **** so, please help, can anyone tell me how to find the advanced controls, or are they totally gone.

     

    Thank you so much,

    M. Gordon

    I have found the icon at the top, so the screen fills and all of the controls at the bottom are shown ...

    but there aree still only advance/reverse 15 seconds and fast forward...

     

    am I missing something, please?
