Podcasts is definitely worse in iOS 11
UI is worse, for example it takes more clicks to get to my podcast’s timeline of episodes. I constantly feel lost.
It’s buggy like hell,
- Podcasts don’t update as well. Before, I could load the app, swipe the fist screen, and all my new podcasts would start loading (with the efficiency and reliability of Apps updates). Now, I walk out the front door and a plus icon jumps in and the podcast isn’t downloaded.
cloud/arrow and circle/square are more intuitive. plus just pops up to tell me I’m SOL.
Yesterday I clicked through on a download in listen now to the episode screen, started play, and I had a different icon/episode in the ‘playing now’ zone and a completely different file playing.
These issues infuriate me every time I use Podcasts. Don’t get me started about WiFi preference to pick the Cable Company’s WiFi hot spot over my home even when the phone is less than 4’ away!
- skinnymuch 9y agoHave you tried using alternative podcast apps? Like Overcast? I never used Apple’s podcast app from the get go so I can’t comment on it. It being bad and/or getting worse isn’t too surprising and definitely one reason I never tried it.
- protonimitate 9y agoYep, podcast app in iOS 11 is terrible. One of the worse examples of post-update brokenness I've seen in iOS.
