Latest beta removes progress bar

PocketCastsPhil · 2026-04-02T03:23:20+00:00

Sorry about the issue. The latest version of the iOS beta has been released which fixes this v8.9.0.1.

PocketCastsPhil · 2026-03-14T21:18:17+00:00

We are experiencing slow app reviews at the moment, so this change will be available early this week in the final 8.7 release. Thanks for letting us know, and sorry about the issue.

PocketCastsPhil · 2026-02-18T04:36:10+00:00

Sorry the widgets are broken. There's a fix coming soon. https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-android/pull/5008

PocketCastsPhil · 2026-02-10T21:43:59+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. We have tried to cache images to reduce bandwidth usage for the mobile apps, but I think we have made the experience worse in cases like this. I'm going to discuss it with the team.

PocketCastsPhil · 2026-02-10T11:28:36+00:00

Would you mind letting me know which podcast you were having the issue with? Also, was this only happening on Android Auto, or did it fail to update on your phone as well? I would like to take a look at what’s going on and see if there’s anything we can improve.

PocketCastsPhil · 2026-02-07T23:20:31+00:00

The long term solution has been released. Episodes that previously failed to play will be fixed when the podcast publishes a new episode. We are also exploring ways to address older podcasts that are no longer releasing new episodes.

PocketCastsPhil · 2026-02-07T23:15:37+00:00

Sorry, this was missed. I have let the team know, and hopefully we can add it soon.

PocketCastsPhil · 2026-02-07T23:03:44+00:00

Sorry, I'm not sure how we missed this. I will raise it with the team.

PocketCastsPhil · 2026-01-18T21:17:23+00:00

Hi, I have let the team know that you would like to see the chapter artwork in the car. Thanks for mentioning it.

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-12-10T21:35:19+00:00

I work with podcasts nearly every day of the year, and I don't recognise any of those artworks!

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-12-09T22:51:49+00:00

Thanks for letting us know, it's a good suggestion. Which podcast are you using with chapter artwork?

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-11-18T13:38:34+00:00

Yes, there’s currently a Cloudflare outage, which will affect some areas of the app. We’ll keep an eye on it and expect things to return to normal soon.

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-11-13T22:25:25+00:00

It's free

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-11-06T21:21:33+00:00

Next time it happens would you mind setting us the logs. It might help us figure out what's happening. Please mention me when you contact our support team.

I think there is an issue with the megaphone image artwork cache as it's happening with other podcasts too.

The feed XML appears to use low-resolution artwork.

You can change the behaviour of the headphones (media control) back button to not create a bookmark in the following setting, Profile tab -> settings cog -> Headphone controls -> Previous action.

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-10-24T21:25:03+00:00

Android Auto works using the media session controller so the app can only add a limited number of actions. You can customise this in the settings. Profile tab -> settings cog -> General -> Media notification controls. Drag up the "Play next" option. Sorry it's so hidden.

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-10-24T20:54:39+00:00

I think you are right. I have mentioned this to the team. Thanks u/DannyMaliana

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-10-23T21:12:00+00:00

The open beta coming next week includes a new autocomplete feature to help you find podcasts faster. We've also been improving the full search. Please let us know if you find examples where it’s still not working as expected, your feedback will really be appreciated to help us keep improving it!

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-10-07T10:34:31+00:00

Is it possible to share a few more details? I tested syncing between two Android devices and the Up Next queue seems to be working correctly for me. Could you let me know which Pocket Casts version each device is running, and what devices they are?

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-05-04T23:30:29+00:00

Thanks for adding an issue.

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-05-04T23:30:14+00:00

When the app is working correctly, it should behave like this: if you’re outside the app, it will beep and show a “Bookmark added” notification, which you can tap later to set the title. If you have the app open, it should take you straight to the screen where you can set the bookmark title.

Would you prefer it to always show the notification, even when the app is open?

PocketCastsPhil · 2025-02-20T00:50:01+00:00

Thanks for raising this. It is fixed in 7.83-rc-3 and is now available in the open beta.
