PODCASTS APP CRASHING Z10

Had a few exchanges with the developer. He know some folks are having big problems with latest version of app on the Z10. The app not only hangs, but it also causes the entire Z10 to crash and go into reboot cycle. This is bad! Developer does not know how to fix it, and refuses to post a note alerting potential app buyers to the problem. Worse yet, I'm pretty certain he is even yanking bad reviews off of AppWorld.

Podcast App crashes after a few seconds

iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0
As of this morning, my podcast app will crash as soon as it tries to connect to the podcast/apple server to refresh/download over several wifi networks.
I deleted most of the podcasts and subscriptions trying to figure out what was causing the crash with no luck - but found that if I put the phone into airplane mode it would not crash since it was not attempting to connect to the server.
I've tried turning the phone off/on, shutting down the app, re-downloading the podcast app several times, and a "hard reset" with no success.
Based on the other threads in here I've seen with similar problems with iTunes in the past, I am assuming this is an issue with Apple's servers and possibly something to do with DRM?

Podcast app crashes, new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2

Anyone else having problems with the Apple Podcast app in iOS 8.1.2? The app crashes after being open for about 30 seconds.
I have tried updating the Podcast app. I have tried erasing my iPhone and restoring from a backup. Nothing works.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a good app that can play the podcasts stored on my iPhone by iTunes. I have tried Overcast, but it seems to require resubscribing and downloading my podcasts again, without recognizing the podcasts already transferred to my iPhone by iTunes.
Thank you.
Brian

Same here (iphone 6, ios 8.1.2), podcast startup normal and just auto quit while begin to play.
Strange enough, I check with control center and press the play button... it works, really **** off!!

Podcast app crashes on start on iOS7

I just upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad Mini.   I am experiencing crashes in almost every app, several apps of which are made by Apple. This crash is the Podcasst app. It crashes immediately on startup.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.

Podcasts app crashes on startup

As the title says, the Podcasts app is persistently crashing on startup.
I was walking home from work listening to a podcast, when suddenly playback stopped. I tried to start it again, and ever since then the app won't run for more than a few seconds.
I've tried closing the app from the multitasking screen, restarting the phone, hard resetting the phone, and reinstalling the app several times. It still crashes on startup.
iOS 7.1.1.

Yes, me too. I have reset, restarted, made space on phone by deleting some crap, uninstalled and redownloaded the app, synched the phone....still crashy crashy.
I called Apple Support (and reported that there are other reports of this just today) and he is checking to see if Apple is aware...

My Podcast APP crashes after about 10 seconds. I even reset and reloaded the entire phone. Any suggestions? I have the newset i-touch

See above question. This is sooo frustrating!!!

Crashing when deleting multiple podcasts app

Te app crashed on me three times when trying to delete multiple podcasts. Just putting it on here for apple to see and bug fix :)

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

The podcast app (ver 2.2) immediately crashes for my iPhone 6 Plus.

I just bought my iPhone 6 plus last Saturday and my podcast app immediately crashes every time I attempt to open the app. This bug occurred with Apple's podcast app on my iPhone 5s. Eventually that problem went away by itself or the latest update. Since the podcast app is permanent in the system and cannot be deleted I don't have the option of installation.
I've already tried the solution using the airplane mode in order to trick the podcast app but that has never worked for me. Other than doing a full restore are there any solutions to this problem?

Hello KR811,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your Podcast application is not opening the way you would expect. There are a couple of different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation.
First I would recommend forcing the Podcast application to close using the steps provided in the attached article.
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
After the Podcast application has been closed, I would recommend resetting your iPhone 6. The instructions for resetting an iOS device can be found in the following attached article.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
After your iPhone boots back on after the reset, please open the Podcast application fresh and test it out. Please let me know if the issue continues.
Cheers,
Joe

IOS5 Music App crashing when going to podcasts

My music app keeps crashing whenever I select the "podcast" tab in the music app.
Here have been the steps I've taken so far:
1. Connect to iTunes, remove podcasts from phone
2. Upon doing this, the music app crashes instantly upon opening
3. If I select "reset all settings" on the phone, the music app will start back up - but continue to crash when navigating to podcast tab
Notes
+ If I select my computer library (home sharing) within the music app, the podcasts show up and play fine (pulling from my computer)
+ The "Muisc +" app accesses all my music and plays fine (but I can't get to podcasts from within that app)
+ I can use voice commands to play a music - and skip forward/back from the lock screen
Hardware:
iPhone 4, ATT, 32GB
iOS 5.0.1
Any help/suggestions?

I'm still having this issue - wanted to add some additional details:
+if i search on my iPhone (swipe all the way to the left home screen), several podcasts show up; even after syncing and telling iTunes to sync 1 most recent podcast or none at all
+I can play these podcasts from the "search" menu, but when I hit back, it brings me to the default music app tab, and if i tab to the podcast tab (even with the podcast playing), the app will crash
+in iTunes, when I set my podcasts to only keep the most recent one, then sync my phone - it will pull these random podcasts back into iTunes
+The date on these podcasts is 12/31/00 (even though they are from 2011)
It seems like the "12/31/00" labeled podcasts are impossible to delete and causing my music app to crash.

Podcast app doesn't work with iTunes this made me want back to 5.1.1

Apple may want to make podcast more popout. they made a NEW app "podcasts"
but I start to hate apple to do this just like the iOS 6 maps.
the new Podcasts app is desinged to be work alone (without iTunes)
it can download subscribe find, ok that's cool but it just won't work with iTunes. maybe apple have data shows more people are iDevice centered.
But I'm an iTunes centered user. I use iTunes to search subscribe download and DELETE Podcast that I've watched. and I LOVE THIS WAY! I DON"T WANT MY PHONE TO Manage or store podcasts!
back to iOS 5. every moming, I sync my iPhone with my iTunes, 1 new unplayed podcasts from every show was synced to my iPhone. and I play them on the way to my company.
at night I watch some other shows on my mac. them sync with iPhone. all played podcasts will not remain on iPhone, and marked as played in iTunes and ready to be deleted. iTunes only keep 4 episodes. all things is automatic. but iOS 6 Changes everything. It won't works with iTunes, and music can't play podcasts anymore. I have to Manually subscribe on iPhone again! and Manualy delete on iPhone and Manualy delete on iTunes.
THIS IS TOTOALLY Unacceptable... for me. My phone or iPad have very limited spaces, and 3G data plan.
Use iTunes means, no 3G needed, download only once!
Use Podcast app and sync over iCould means 3G data and download as the same number as yours devices. for me I have to download a same show for 3 times.
I Hope there is some way that can make the old music app back.

I agree, i tried to do what i always do at my office today on my ipod touch, connect to the wifi at the end of the day to download new podcast episodes for my subway ride home, and instead, iTunes with the ios6 update installed yesterday won't let me do that, it tells me i need the new Podcasts app, fine, i go install it, and then when i go back to music, it tells me my podcasts are moved, i go to the new app, so over i go. The new app is slow, crashes twice trying to get into it, i can't see any way to make a playlist, i managed to download some new episodes, but can't see how to make a playlist still. I found out how to delete it (and doing so brought back Podcasts and my podcast playlist to the music app, huzzah!!)
The Podcasts app is not the quality i want from Apple. I like my ipod, i really do, but it seems Apple is convinced that whenever they make a change they think will make things better, they delete old ways of doing things that work for us, the real people in the world using their devices. I like the notion of a stand alone app for finding and downloading podcasts, but why does that necessitate removing them from the music app to play since primarily i download all my new podcasts at night, listen to some on my computer while working at home, put them in an itunes playlist in the order i want to listen to them, then sync each morning with my PC to have whatever i haven't listened to in a playlist so it can play all day at work while i'm there.
Hopefully Apple can learn from this and the ongoing Maps debacle to maybe not be so quick to tell their users how we have to use the devices, and instead spend some time listening to how we use the devices to make our experience better rather than enforcing how they want it used on us.

How can How can I download the Podcasts app to my ipod touch

I have a iPod Touch with iOS 6.1.3. The podcast app was not working so I deleted it. I tried to download/reinstall from iTunes on my PC but it gives an error saying it "requires a newer version of iPod software" (odd since the app was on the device before with the same iOS version). I also tried going to the iTunes on the device but can't find the app there to down it and the iTunes app keeps crashing.
Is there a version of the Podcast app that works on an iPod Touch? If so, how can I get it downloaded?

I am having the same issue and it is very aggravating. The only thing I use my Itouch for is podcast and now it is useless, so frustrated at the moment.

ITunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not allow me to create play lists in iTunes. Is there an app that will allow me to create podcast plays lists and play them on the iPhone running iOS7 ?

iOS 7 will not alow podcasts lists in the music app so we have to use the podcast app
but iTunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not show podcast play lists created in iTunes (well maybe it does but clicking on the podcasts app causes iTunes to freeze so can not select)
sometime some folders created in iTunes have appeared with the Podcast app but others not.
creating an on the go list in my iphone is agony - I have over 100 podcasts I have subscribed to and when creating a list you can not view by most recently downloadded podcast
AND you can't search (no search bar) so I have to scroll through to find a podcast that might have been updated - but they are not in any logocal order that I can work out (not alphbetical or date added).
Video podcasts are mixed with audio
podcasts I delete (unsubscribe to) keep coming back
its a disaster
my question is there an alternative iPhone app that works with iTunes
no I don't want an app where I have to download to the phone directly, thats 100 subscriptions I will have to make agaian

Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

Itunes stops working when on podcasts then crashes

Every time itunes starts (it is on the podcast section) it rapidly freezes then stops working. If I immediately switch to another section or store, it lasts longer. Something is wrong with the podcast section.
I have followed all the guides on uninstalling all components, then reinstalling: twice.
I can't do much to check on whether one of my many podcasts might cause this, I have to act rapidly before it crashes, all I have been able to do is switch off automatic download and select manual refresh of podcasts. I have tried starting in safe mode: same issue.
Windows 7 64 bit and latest itunes
(p.s. so frustrated: is there an alternative desktop app for podcasts?)

I've gotten the same problem lately. I've never seen it before iTunes 12, but I'm not sure if it started with 12.1.1 or not...
I've tried all the proposed workarounds in iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support
, but even with:
- Remove all Apple software, then reinstall
- Remove my user prefs
- Create new library
- Unsubscribed from all podcasts from my devices
As soon as I try to subscribe to a podcast in iTunes on Windows, the app crashes.
Next time I start iTunes I have no subscriptions and "Sync podcast subscriptions and settings" is not set and if I try to subscribe again I get another crash...

Since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy!

Why is the Podcasts App so buggy???

I listen to podcasts almost everyday and have been using this app ever since it was first released.
It's basically a dog's breakfast. The main problems are (1) bugs, and (2) lack of functionality.
Bugs:
1. The app will start automatically anytime an alarm goes of: someone calls you, after you hang up the last podcast you were listening to starts playing. Same thing with alarms, and even just testing ring tones. ***?
2. It frequently won't download podcasts. It is very temperamental: it will allow some podcasts to download, others not.
3. It crashes randomly in the middle of podcasts. This is what motivated me to write this review today. actually this and the fact that problem 2 took me about 2 days and 5 attempts to download the podcast that then crashed. Was this software written by children?
Lack of basic functionality:
1. No playlists or anyway to star or prioritize podcasts you want to listen to.
2. It is basically impossible to browse the titles of individual podcasts because the names are longer than the screen space.
Points 1 + 2 together are a real pain if you, like me, have a collection of one set of podcasts that is over 500 episodes you want to read over and choose from... You can't read the titles and if you take the time to read and select your favorites you can't save them.
Seriously, this app should be up there with Apple disasters like Apple Maps.

I just replaced my prior iPhone 3G by a brand new iPhone 5 and installed this new Podcast app, as podcast content dif not appear in "music" any more.
Although I enjoy having direct sync of podcasts on the iPhone over Wifi (instead of having to plug it to my iTunes), I am not fully satisfied as well:
- for some podcasts, it seems to be working fine, event though some episodes appear much later on my iPhone as on iTunes
- for some others, it used to work fine at the start, but I do not get any of the most recent episodes anymore (they do not appear at all)
- for some others, downloading seems to always fail but streaming is OK
- for some others, I can see the episodes but cannot donwload nor stream them on my iPhone.
In the meantime, all these podcasts perfectly work on a standard iTunes (on a Mac or a PC).
I tried to unscribe an subscribe again but it didi not fix anything. Perhaps shall I try to uninstall and reinstall the application.
The erratic sync feature is definitly the most critical issue to fix by Apple.
Not supporting long labels & playlists is more a kind of "nice to have", although I agree these would be very useful.
Concern iMap, I did not have any major concern up to now with it (I do not use it so often, but it worked well at each occasion).
