iOS: Podcasts stop, repeat, or skip unprompted

[KathBert]

This is happening on my iPhone. It's quite annoying. It's not even after commercials, the podcaster will be mid sentence, suddenly it goes to the next episode. Then it shows I listened to the entire episode. When I hit play back on the episode I was listening to, it has gone forward a little and I have to find my place. I cannot find anything that states reset app data. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times.

Hi, @KathBert. 👋

I moved your post over to the iOS space since you're using your iPhone device and to keep everything organized. Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your podcasts. I understand how frustrating this would be.

Troubleshooting:

Clearing or reseting the app data is a feature of Android and the Desktop app, those steps wouldn't be applicable in your situation. It sounds like you've run through the steps here: iOS Troubleshooting

I'd also ensure that you've restarted your device to see if that helps too.

Experience + Device Details:

In the meantime, I'd like to report your feedback around this experience to the appropriate party. It's helpful to know:

• Device & Generation: (e.g. iPhone X, iPad Air (3rd gen), etc.)
• Carrier:
• iOS version: (Settings > General > About > Version)
• Pandora version: (Pandora > Profile tab > Settings gear & scroll to the bottom of the screen)
• Are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data when this is happening?
• Have any error messages popped up? If so, what does it say?
• Does this happen with any podcast? Or, a specific podcast?

Thanks so much for your help with this. 🎧

The link is of no help for this situation. My phone has been restarted multiple times. The app has also been deleted and reinstalled multiple times.
