Is anyone else having problems with the Podcast App since upgrading to iOS 9? I am using an iPhone 6 if that matters. Here are the problems I am seeing.
First, if I resume a podcast I started listening to earlier the volume is only about half as loud as the scroll bar says it should be. It plays low volume like it does when you have a notification come in while you are listening to something. The problem is that this is happening when there is no notification coming through and it doesn't go back to normal.
Turning the volume up or down does nothing to fix the problem. If I hit the button that makes it skip back 15 seconds the volume goes back to normal. It's just annoying having to do this every time I listen to a podcast especially because the phone is often in my pocket. Before I would just hit the resume button on my Apple ear buds to resume when I'm at the gym or hit the bluetooth button on my car to resume while I'm driving. Now I have to pull my phone out to fix this volume bug.
The second problem is that my phone no longer starts playing my podcasts when I switch to bluetooth audio on my car. The name of the episode pops up on the touch screen and it shows how much of the episode I have listened to and how much is left but it won't start playing. The play/pause button on my car does nothing.
Again, I have to pull my phone out of my pocket now and push play in the podcast app before it will resume. Once I've gotten it to start playing my car's play/pause button works fine. I never had a problem getting my podcasts to play in my car without taking my phone out of my pocket before upgrading to iOS 9. The play/pause button always worked without me having to push play on my phone from the podcast app first.
Am I the only one having these issues? I'm starting to think about buying one of the paid podcast apps instead of using Apple's. It's a bummer because I never had too much issue with their app before.
