Please apply the following advice for the best chance of success:it 1. Connect your Bluetooth headphones before starting the Pod2Watch on your Apple Watch. 2. Turn off Bluetooth on your phone to prevent the headphones from unpairing. 3. DO NOT use the play button in the "Now Playing" app. 4. Avoid removing your AirPods during playback. Auto-restart of audio can trigger a bug. If you encounter this bug (hearing multiple podcasts at once), you can fix it by pressing pause in the "Now Playing" app and then pressing play in Pod2Watch. Sending podcasts to your Apple Watch is slow. Plan ahead and use the auto-sync feature to avoid having to wait for transfers to complete. ## Key features - Apple Watch audio playback - Bluetooth headphone connection guide - Phone Bluetooth disabling tip - Avoid 'Now Playing' app controls - Troubleshooting audio bugs - Auto-sync feature ## Recent user reviews (10 of 34) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pod2watch-watch-podcast-player/id1223275627/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Working *2021-11-28, version 1.3.3* So far it’s working to sync casts to my Apple Watch while the apples own podcast app will not. ### 4/5 — Useful but lack of download progress bar *2020-10-09, version 1.3.3* It’s really useful app but could you please add a download progress bar to show how much have been synced and low long it will take to finish the syncing? It’s really frustrating to wait for sync without knowing any of the progress... ### 1/5 — Buggy *2020-05-13, version 1.3.3* Wish it worked better ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-12-22, version 1.3.3* Been waiting 1.5 hours to download a 1 hour podcast. It says transferring and be patient. I’m not going to be that patient for each podcast. ### 1/5 — Syncing trouble *2019-04-27, version 1.3.3* Syncing process is painful ### 1/5 — Too must frustration *2018-09-14, version 1.3.3* I got excited when I saw I could finally listen to my favorite podcasts on my watch during my workouts. I downloaded the ap, loaded up my podcasts, went out to run and it didn’t work. I had to come back home to see if I could fix it. Felt like I got my mouth watering for a burger, then took a bite only to find out it was plastic. I looked on my phone to see if there were rules. I read the disclaimer of how you should NOT try to push play. Strange, but whatever. I kept trying different things and thirty minutes after I was supposed to be working out, I’m at home writing a review instead of exercising. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-09-01, version 1.3.3* Took forever to download to podcast and then it kept saying my headphones weren’t connected when they were and worked on my music on the watch ### 2/5 — Great if it works *2018-08-10, version 1.3.3* A little confusing at first. Get the handle and it adequately moves podcasts to your watch. After a few days it just got stuck and never worked again. ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2018-08-08, version 1.3.3* I can’t get my app to connect to my podcast app and I don’t see any faq or support to get help. Disappointed. I’d really like this to work. ### 3/5 — Good, but... *2018-07-27, version 1.3.3* Downloading the podcasts takes forever! It takes about ten seconds to download on my phone, but it takes FOREVER to download on my Apple Watch. This would be a 5 star review if it weren’t for this. PLEASE FIX THIS. ## Frequently asked questions about Pod2Watch ### How do I get podcasts to play on my Apple Watch?
