Q: podcasts app not auto-downloading on ios10

Try these standard troubleshooting steps. You may also want to reset your router.

- Reset: hold down the Home and Power buttons until you see the Apple logo (10-15 seconds).

- Restore your iDevice: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204184

If your backup is to iTunes, make sure it's encrypted.

I Did..

I deleted the app and re-installed it. Looks like it's working now.

Did you remove the Apple Podcast app and reinstall it from the Apple store?  Did you lose the podcast when you uninstalled the Apple Podcast app.

1. Yes I did

2.  No.  But the app downloaded a lot of old casts that I already have listned to. So I had a lot of erasing to do. But that was only a couple of minute of work.

Same Problem here.
I have configurated "manual sync". If I go 'sync' it shows "prepairing download", but don't download any of them.
I have to choose "stop download" and again "load", then it starts downloading.

I have to choos this for each one of the podcasts.

Apple shoud fix this fast ... I hope.

I deleted and re-installed podcast-app. First time it downloaded, after this, same error as before.
