Don’t allow background refresh – Pocket Casts: Podcast Player Review

Pocket Casts app has worked well for a couple of years in two different phones, but is now problematic. Recently my iPhone XS Max battery has declined by 50% or so overnight. The offending app is Pocket Casts, accounting for 40% of battery usage. This is the largest user of battery power by a wide margin. Most of this battery use has been overnight, indicating that the background app refresh is the problem. I turned of background app refresh for this app, and the battery drain problem resolved. Don’t even think about allowing background app refresh for this app.
