It is no hugger-mugger that Apple has led the evolution of podcasts. Recently the company announced a premium Podcast subscription. This was i of the well-nigh significant changes to the Podcast app since its inception. The excitement around Apple tree's Podcast service has at present subdued, giving manner for user complaints.

Creators seem to accept a flurry of complaints against podcasts. Primarily they say it has failed them in more than one style. Apple makes information technology mandatory for creators to use Apple Podcasts Connect to offer subscriptions. The Apple tree Podcast Connect features a complicated user interface with lots of room for error, co-ordinate to creators. Due to repeated issues, creators have to keep on contacting Apple tree.

One podcaster told TheVerge that his unabridged evidence was archived until Apple tree helped him sympathize the situation. In scenarios like this, the Podcasters could not simply suffer a loss of revenue, simply the brand value takes a hit also. Fifty-fifty the latest updated app is said to be plagued with bugs.

Apple Podcasts Subscription Bugs

A few months back, an auto-download bug caused a 31 percent drop in downloads. Many people missed new episodes due to the issues. Apple tree issued a new update to fix the automobile-download bug. However, the Apr update arrived with its ain set of problems. Users complained about how their libraries were filled with Podcasts they take already listened to.

Typically creators upload podcast episodes across multiple platforms, including Spotify, Patreon, and others. Still, Apple tree Podcast offers a half-baked integration. In other words, information technology isn't easy to upload paid podcasts to Apple. A majority of complaints blame Apple for not thinking about smaller independent creators.

Podcast creators are also facing issues uploading episodes to Apple. Firstly, they had to wait for hours for the upload to get candy. Meanwhile, the creators were able to upload their content on Patreon within five minutes. It looks like Apple has messed up the Podcast subscription service. We simply hope that the company addresses this issue at the primeval.
