Multiple poscast issues

since updating to iOS 10 the podcast app seems to have a bunch of small bugs. (Not that it didnt have any before but these seem to be new since iOS10)

1) the app routinely starts podcasts 3-4 seconds into the episode and also skips the last 3-4 seconds of the episode

2) it will also routinely stop playing one podcast with several minutes left, anywhere from just a few minutes to nearly half the podcast, and start playing the next podcast in the playlist

3) if it doesn't skip the end of a podcast it will often replay the last 10-15 seconds of a podcast over and over and over again

4) the transition from one podcast to the next on a play list is a much less smooth transition than it used to be. Usually takes a lot longer than before and sometimes it will not advance until I manually start the next podcast

5) when playing podcasts on my Bluetooth speaker or hooked up to my car by Bluetooth when it advances to the next podcast on the play list the volume shoots WAY up. If you look at the volume slider bar it's in the middle where it always is. If I simply tap the volume bar, not moving the slider at all, the volume will go back down to where it should be.

None of these are huge bugs but they are all annoying. Of course none are as annoying as when they got rid of the On-The-Go list a while back and replaced it with the hidden Up Next list.

Hi Wargote,


Thanks for posting your concerns in the Apple Communities. Sorry to hear that you are experiencing these issues with playing your podcasts. If you have not done so already, you may want to try a simple restart for your device.
​Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch




You may also want to try uninstalling the Podcast app, then downloading it again. I would create a backup to preserve any Podcast data you may want.

Remove built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS device with iOS 10

I am having these same issues. Part way through an episode the podcast will stop, the play bar on the bottom will dissapear and the podcast will be marked as played. I have tried both downloading and streaming the podcast. I have hard resented my phone, and have deleted redownloded the podcast app. Everytime it stops a the same point and will not continue.

iPhone 6, ios10
