iOS 11 podcast autoplay

Agreed. Please tell me how to revert back. Or how do I let apple know some of us want that option

Haven’t been able to enjoy relaxing w podcasts just annoyance. So not podcasting

Thank you!

Ummm, nuthin' about "Stations" here, Boss!!

Thanks. I am going to try overcast. I am also going to switch phones. I honestly have no desire to ever buy an iPhone again after this. 😟

Appreciate your help. I now have my podcasts working. I’m happy again.

I do not have this sort function on the main screen. Only within the specific podcasts settings.

They already have made an IOS update, but did not touch the podcasts. 😕

This is what I saw. I’ll try to add a picture

Thanks , you saved my sanity.

How does one roll back to iOS 10?

While that helps, it's not a complete solution. There is a problem if you don't allow the app to use mobile data* or have a poor connection. As it reaches a podcast episode that has been released but not downloaded, it just displays a 'Mobile Data is Turned Off' message and stops playing. You then need to hit OK, go back to the station, find the next downloaded episode and play it. Possibly while driving.

There is currently no option to limit the station to downloaded episodes.

(*because in some countries, there are no providers that offer unlimited data plans at a reasonable price.)

Trying to make this work fir me...

Ok i created a station for my subscribed podcast.

There is an option for “sort order” so i chose newest to oldest so that the list would show the latest downloads.

But... sort order is also ”play” order, so niw it wants to play backward from newest to okdest.

Is there a remedy?

(I’ve not yet played thru an entire episode to witness the station automatically playing the next episode in sequence, which is what originally led me here)

Found a great podcast player that works great. Continuous play. It’s called Castro. It cost $3.99 but worth it. Now I feel so relieved. I have so many podcasts I listen to now I feel organized again.

Cyberbiker's fix mentions entering the Stations option in your Library in order to change settings for continuous play...... I don't have ANYTHING in the iOS 11Podcast Player mentioning "Stations" anymore.

"Shows " simply replaces "Podcasts" for no good reason, which is stupid, because the word "podcast" is so much more specific and understandable, like how CD's aren't called "records". Anyway, " Shows" doesn't eventually lead to an option to set up nor modify a "Station" so, again, how are you guys modifying settings in Stations anymore in iOS 11?

And BTW Apple, change just for change's sake is stupid and such a waste of the end-user's time. If I wanted a GUI that required an endless learning curve and looked like dog vomit, I'd go with Windows or Android. I switched platforms because your stuff USED to just make sense and USED to just work. This version is so slow and glitchy it makes me think a cheaper throw-away Korean phone maybe IS the way to go. I'd still be annoyed, but there would be an extra $200 or so in my bank account.

I checked ou the overcast app from start I’m not really a big fan because you podcasts are gonna adds, and if you don’t want the adds you will have to pay.

Note also that the payment appears to be a yearly subscription, not a one-off.

And as usual, its promotional approach leaves a lot to be desired; the usual glitzy, showy fandango, but no mention of how easy it is (or indeed whether it's possible to) subscribe to a Podcast Feed URL that is not listed in their display.

Oh! and the "best bit" - they tell us it's designed for the iPhone, iPad and even carplay, but no specific mention of the humble iPod Touch. I could always assume I guess.
