Podcasts App Crashes Every Time in 8.1 Upgrade: how to fix?
Hi Everyone,
I just upgraded my Lumia 920 to WP 8.1 last night and was dismayed to find the new Podcasts app is completely non-functional. Every time I try to open it, the app launches then crashes back to the home screen after a couple of seconds. Listening to podcasts is one of the primary activities I do on my phone. I tried to find a way to re-install, but there doesn't seem to be an intuitive way to do so. Anybody else having this problem? Thanks!

are they going to fix the podcast app?
because i'm with kevin3, i'm done with wp if they can't fix this. it's 2014, you can't figure out a podcast app or a halfway decent way of getting music on your device?
the desktop app is embarrassing.

I'm having the same crashing experience. It's very frustrating to think this is a semi-widespread issue that hasn't been fixed. Has anybody gotten it to work without doing a hard reset? Does that even work?

The other day I started to stream a video podcast and the podcast app crashed. I launched it and it worked fine after that. Is that the experience everyone else is having?

The app won't even stay open for me. It starts to display my subscriptions and then just closes and takes me back to the windows start screen. I won't stay open long enough for me to click on anything. It started a couple weeks ago when the ESPN podcasts were jacked up and people everywhere were having trouble. Unfortunately, it seem to have killed my device/app permanently.

App worked fine till two months ago and after that keeps crashing as i start it, thought an app update would fix it but last two updates didnt. There is no way to try an uninstall and reinstall as its a system app
