How do you make a podcast episode "Mark as Played" in the iOS 11 update?
Similarly, is there anyway I can see which podcasts I am subscribed too and which I am not. I liked being able to see that in the old version because some serialized podcast I try to listen in order and it was a handy way of telling difference podcasts apart.
In short, the new Podcast app does not seem like an improvement.

So I updated on Friday and went to play my poscasts this morning on the way to work and will only play one episode at a time, very frustrating and non-intuitive, IMHO Apple in their wisdom have broken a functional and intuitive app.
With the new version you have to click down 3 levels to add to a playlist, still haven't worked out how to autoplay all new episodes overall, not just a single station.
What I liked with the pre-ios11 was the unplayed episodes easily accessible on the front screen where I can see in what order they arrived in and will play in and easily delete or remove an episode I don't want to listen to. Easy and intuitive!!!
I encourage those not liking anything about the new podcast app to provide feedback to apple here: Feedback - Podcasts - Apple
Stephen...
So as to stem the tide of negativity a bit, I will say that the most useful view in the rebooted app is Library -> Episodes. I find this the easiest screen to keep track of pending Podcasts.
I totally agree. I am very disappointed in Apple for this terrible update to podcasts. This is everything that Apple is NOT supposed to be!
Oh my god. You just made my day. Thank you!
Not much use to those of us who don't watch Apple keynotes... What I would expect was something to guide me through the pain after doing the upgrade.
Which app did you switch to?
I am comparing Pocket Casts and Overcast. Not yet sure which meets one is better. That said, both are superior to Apple’s native app.
Station? I see nothing that is a station in podcast app. Can you point me to it? Thanks. HATE the new podcast app!!
Yes. And what a huge waste of time & what a mess Apple has made.
It seems like Library -> Episodes is the place to see new episodes in order or release date. Still no idea how to mark them as played.
The new version of the app is incredibly bad.
A looot of extra clicks,
Difficult to keep an overview of shows
and just generally user-unfriendly.
Just bring back the old one, we won't laugh atcha.
In Stitcher you can mark an episode as Played or Unplayed. I am going to give Stitcher a try.
I agree. Update has made Podcasts bulky and less useful. Difficult to sort, delete ... Why did they do this?
Totally.
Please Apple, bring back the old podcast app 😕 This new thing, whatev it is, does not work
