Podcasts WatchOS 7

[iAdamator]

I was wondering if anyone on the beta has had a chance to look at Podcasts on 7? If so is it any better? (As most probably know it can’t be any worse that 6 especially as far as syncing — ha ha)

I would also like to know. I sincerely hope Apple have improved syncing and added chapter selection.

Is the downloaded section within the Library new? I’m using watchOS7 and just noticed this. Although, it may be that I didn’t notice it in watchOS 6.

It was so bad I moved to pocketcast

Pretty sure the downloaded section is new. But what we really need is a way to trigger the downloads. I can't believe we are still forced to auto sync and hope it works...which it never did and I eventually moved to overcast. Don't like how it compresses Podcast for the watch version though. (The iPhone versions of Podcasts downloaded with Overcast seem fine at least.)

That‘s bad but mine always work. Once it didn’t work I just restarted the watch and it works again.
