Androd problem – no new episodes
-
Hi, I’m using Pocket Casts (version 8.12) on Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, Android version 16. Since tuesday or wednesday new episodes don’t appear on the episodes lists. The problem is with all the podcasts, not just one. Some of them are usually published in the night so I have them ready jn the app in the morning. Some did load later in the day (around noon). And today again nothing, no new episodes, although they are available in other podcast apps. I tried to restart both the app and my phone, clearing the history, but it didn’t help. And it looks like the app is still refreshing – it shows like that since morning
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out, and sorry you’re running into this! The delayed and missing episodes across all your podcasts at once does point to a feed-parsing delay on our end rather than a device-side problem.
Here are a few things worth trying in the meantime:
- Open the Profile tab and tap Refresh Now to force a full refresh.
- For any specific podcast that still isn’t updating, go to the podcast’s details screen, tap the three-dot menu, and select Refresh Episode List. This nudges our system to re-check that feed directly.
- On the podcast’s details screen, pull down to refresh as well, just to make sure the list is fully up to date after the above steps.
One thing also worth checking: tap the filter options on a podcast’s episode list and make sure Show Archived is enabled. It’s possible some episodes came in and were auto-archived, which would hide them from the default view.
If episodes are still not appearing after those steps, it would really help us investigate if you could share the names (or share links) of a couple of the affected podcasts. That lets us check whether there’s a feed-parsing issue on our side for those specific feeds.
We appreciate your patience while we look into this!
