iOS podcasts app "can't connect right now."

As the title says; In the Browse and Search tab I only get this message. Plus a "Retry" button that I pressed a thousand times with no effect.


All other network connections on the device work so far.


I already tried these:

Restarted the device several times.

Removed / reinstalled the Podcasts app 3 times.

Apple ID sign out / sign in (this solved another problem concerning Keychain syncing)


I know what's next, but I'm not really in the mood to reset and reinstall the device completely just because of this...

iPhone SE, iOS 11

Problem solved after lengthy email complaints. I'm HK Store user, hopefully other HK and Swiss users would also see their app working fine.

Please see [Solved] Podcasts app "Can't connect right now" for details.

When i switch itunes store from Hong Kong to US, i can browse all the broadcast but when switch back to Hong Kong store it show error again.


As i can use iPad to browse Hong Kong store podcast list, i believe there should be some files at my iPhone which prevent me to connect to Hong Kong store podcast list at iPhone (as the same account at my iPad can browse Hong Kong store podcast without issue)
