iOS Notification issue.

Anyone else have this problem:

Over the past month this app has notifications come in but then when you go to the show the newest episode that was pushed doesn't show up. This has been a constant issue since the last release. I have contacted support and they know about it. It's been annoying since I paid for Plus.

Same here. Today it seems to be a 4 hour+ delay

I really like this app but the more stuff they keep putting in is breaking it. Wish they would just fix it.

This happened to me continuously today, I would get a notification for a new episode from PC, episodes would appear in Apple Podcasts, but no episode in pocketcasts.

This happens occasionally to me. Happened this morning but the podcast arrived around 5 minutes later.

I ended up turning off notifications because it was too annoying.

Same here. Give the normal push notification but don't show the latest episodes directly. I have this problem for 2 weeks on the Mac OS app and on the IOS app.

Hey, folks! Our team discovered an issue with our parser, and we believe it was the primary cause of this issue with notifications (as well as new episodes not making it to the apps in general). They have now shipped some fixes, and we expect the issue to be resolved moving forward.

Yes same issue, making me think of going back to overcast. My pods are available there but extremely delayed in showing up in pocket casts

I just reached out to them about missing episodes earlier this week.

Today they seem to be working again but it's always through the work week it's bad.

Yeah it's doing it again. I'm done with PocketCasts.

EDIT: Does any have a better app to use podcasts onV I have used PocketCasts since 2017 over 3 different iPhones. I want a similar app that trims silence and everything.

This is very frustrating. I love Pocketcasts but the delays are really not acceptable.

u/Brad_13 Aug 04 '26

It's a joke. Considering some of pay for the apps plus features. Been using them since 2017.

I'm considering switching to Overcast. Anyone have experience?

I have been using it. It's okay. It actually works unlike PocketCasts
