Spotify users have been dealing with a frustrating problem over the last few days. The app crashes every time they try to play a podcast. The issue has hit both Android and iOS devices, with reports spiking around 3 a.m. EST on November 18th and continuing since then.

Spotify has acknowledged the problem and rolled out a fix, though many users are still experiencing issues. If your app is still acting up, there are some straightforward steps you can take to get your Spotify working properly.
