Is it just me or has Apple’s podcast app just gone down the drain with IOS13/WatchOS?
It completely hopeless in syncing episodes from phone to watch - Only happens a one or two times and then it requires a force quit of the app/reboot of the watch to continue to sync again.
- It also has lots and lots of weird problems with statesync of now listening to and from the phone
- It has huge problems with 30sec skip sometimes taking forever, with it playing 10 - 15 ahead with no audio before it returns.
- It also fails in finishing podcasts properly - even though it‘s gone to 0:00 it’s not marked finished
I never really liked their app, but I have gotten used to it, and in IOS 12.4 it was fairly reliable - also in syncing with the watch.
I would really hate to be forced into using overcast as the apple watch podcast app is just far more integrated into to watch features, and I have so far never had a third party watch app that was reliable in the background and one where the complications actually updated as expected.
