Podcast app crashes still after iOS 9.02 update

brutal. it loads the podcasts now and I can see my list of feeds etc. but crashes after about 5-10 seconds.

iphone 5. ios 9.0.2

Message to Apple software testers: try to subscribe to Revolution Health Radio podcast by Chris Kresser. This makes podcast app crash every time.

This show used to work fine in 8.4.1.

iPhone 5c iOS 9.0.2

Mine is doing this too. I was SO frustrated when the podcasts wouldn't even open/load with 9.0, and was so happy that it seemed to be working with the 9.0.2 fix....but didnt take too long to realize they are still not. Podcasts now load but CRASH after like 3 seconds.

This is increedibly frustrating. Fix this ASAP apple we are

paying a lot of money for your products.

IPhone 6 software 9.0.2

Congratulations again Apple with the release of IOS 9.0.2 you have continued the failure of the podcast app. Fortunately, we've all been able to move to other applications still it is rather disappointing that Apple continues to overlook these details at such a consistent and alarming rate.

One does wonder if the late renowned Steve Jobs would have allowed such a blunder since one of his unimaginable advancements was bringing podcasts to the masses.

iPhone 6s software 9.0.2

I found a partial workaround on my iPhone 5S. After the podcast crashes while the podcast's playing, I restart the episode from the lock screen (swipe up from bottom and hit play). It will then play right to the end.

BUT I tried to switch to an episode of a different podcast before finishing the first one (I like spoken word for my commute and music while I'm at work), and I couldn't. I had to reboot the phone twice to get it to let me start a new episode. The new version of the app seems to work on a playlist/queue system rather than letting you switch more spontaneously, but it won't let you skip to next.

Same thing had happened to me and I tried rebooting my phone (iPhone 6) and it seems to be fixed for now, so give that a try.

I am having the same issue. It was fine before I updated to iOS 9. I tried restarting my device and it still doesn't work. Disappointed that Apple can't have their own apps working on an update! So what are my alternatives? I don't want to have to re-subscribe and download podcasts all over again!

It is pretty embarrassing. Podcasts was my favorite and most-used app too. I'm afraid to upgrade my phone until podcasts works on my iPad.

It's not only podcast that crashes, on My T-Mobile iphone 6 plus 64gb device ios 9.0.2 News app crashes, Safari app crashes, App store, app crashes, Twitter app crashes, weather app crashes, podcasts app crashes majority all app crashes please take a look at your diagnostic and usage and look how many same bugs and crashes been showing up since the ios 8 that never were fixed. Really pathetic who ever is doing these softwares need to be fired and its sad Its making me upset and disappointed I regret purchasing the iphone ios 9.0.2 is horrible and ugly reminds me of the old android phones that lag and buggy but with horrible glitches

Same here. I have an iPhone 6 and since installing iOS 9.0.2, Safari continually crashes.

The update crashes my whole iPhone in general. restarting to freezing. freezing to blue screen death. and the blue screen death just continuing to crash.

Iphone 5s

I had this problem when I originally upgraded to 9.0 about two weeks ago and 9.0.1 didn't fix it... I ended up going back to 8.4.1. (had to download new software etc.... found a youtube video on how to do that). I am definitely afraid to upgrade to 9.0.2. until Apple confirms that they have fixed this for all of us who love our podcasts!!!!!

Ugh, this is so frustrating. As others have describes, I start to see my list of unplayed episodes and then it crashes. I also subscribe to Revolution Health Radio. I am SO SORRY I upgraded to 9.0! Two updates later and it still doesn't work. I purchased PodCruncher but don't like the organization much. Next I'll try DownCast or Pocket Casts ... but it makes me fume because I used the Podcast app all the time.

I downloaded 9.02 update and now my Safari crashes when i tried to type something in the url address. Apple if you are reading this try to type "SSENT" and click search it will crash. The 9.02 is the worse upgrade I seen. How do I go back to 8.4?

So, I've been having the issue with Podcasts crashing for WEEKS now, until yesterday when I tried Escentric's tip about deleting the Chris Kresser's Revolution Health Radio's podcast from my list (in the 10-15 seconds I could keep the app open before it inevitably crashed.) I happen to be subscribed to that podcast already which is why I though to try his tip. Then I closed out any programs still running.

Now Podcasts are working fine, NO ISSUES.

Who knew? I don't know why the recent update caused the problem to begin with, but deleting that podcast fixed it. Sorry Chris! 😝
