Avoid the current iOS 16.2 beta if you use Airplay. It appears to cause audio playing apps to crash, including Downcast.

For those of you experiencing the issue in macOS where Downcast’s sync options can’t be fully enabled, which in turn causes an issue with refreshing feeds, Apple has fixed the underlying cause in macOS 13 (Ventura).

For those of you experiencing issues using Downcast on CarPlay in iOS 15, this is a problem in iOS 15 that affects a number of apps. We hope to have a solution soon but are stuck waiting on a response from @Apple.

While the app has already been updated to use the new CarPlay framework, it can’t be tested on a device or submitted for review until @Apple grants us access to the new entitlement. As soon as that happens, we’ll get the update out as quickly as possible.

And just like that, @Apple gave us access to the new entitlement this evening:) Expect a beta that resolves the CarPlay issues in a day or two.

If you use ad-blocking DNS like Pi-hole and you’re getting download errors, this is likely the cause: reddit.com/r/pihole/comments…

Publishers host episodes on a variety of services, some of which may be blocked by ad-blocking tech like Pi-hole. Unfortunately, this is not something podcast players have any control over.

To be clear, Downcast does not perform any sort of ad-tracking and it does not insert ads into episodes. The URLs that Downcast and other players download episodes from are part of each podcast feed and they are generated by each podcast’s publisher.

Unfortunately, the latest update for Downcast for iOS (v2.9.59), contains a bug that will cause queued downloads to be removed when launching the app. A fix has been submitted and expedited review requested.

Correction, make sure the version in the App Store is 2.9.60. This should be the case for everyone by now though.

Currently, v2.9.60 is only available in the App Store. It has not been approved for TestFlight yet. So, if you’re using the TestFlight version, I’d suggest switching back to the App Store version for now. Just find Downcast in the App Store and tap the download button.
